Just finished watching Madame Doubtfire. Read the following questions to guide you and write your personal opinion in groups of two people. Write a minimum of 50 words. Use sentences like for example:

In our opinion we think that…

First,…

Then,…

To sum up,…

What did you feel for Madame Doubtfire? And about the children? Do you prefer reading the book or watching the film? Is there any scene in the book that didn’t appear on the film? If so, explain which one. Do you think that the film was a faithful copy of the book by Anne Fine? Was it what you really expected?

Here you have one of my favorite moments in the film. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
