* IrrationalHatred: Subverted, but Miranda at first seemingly absolutely hates Daniel to a point she refuses to let him see their kids and is outraged at [[spoiler:finding out both her seemingly-hated husband and Mrs. Doubtfire are one and the same, but then Miranda has a JerkassRealization and deep down she never stopped loving Daniel]].

* LonelyBachelorPad: Daniel's divorced-guy apartment is an absolute wreck, at least at first.



* {{Manchild}}: Daniel is definitely this, if the out-of-control birthday party is any evidence to go by. Unfortunately for him, it's this immaturity and lack of responsibility that costs him his marriage, and in Miranda's own words he "never took anything seriously". It's only after he becomes Mrs. Doubtfire that he begins to dial back these tendencies, but he is still very much a happy-go-lucky and fun-loving guy when he needs to be.

* AdaptationalLocationChange: The book was set in England while the movie relocates the action to San Francisco. Most of the characters are [[AdaptationalNationality Americanized]] as a result, but coincidentally, Mrs. Doubtfire herself is British (ostensibly hailing from Scotland) and so is Stu (played by Pearce Brosnan).
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the novel, Daniel and Miranda were a lot meaner to the point in which Daniel often [[DomesticAbuser fantasized about killing her in front of the kids.]]

* BecomingTheMask: While Daniel never loses himself in the Mrs. Doubtfire character, she certainly does grow beyond his original plan and takes on a life of her own, and by the end of the film he enjoys being her simply for being her, because she brings out the good in people including Daniel himself.
