Differences From The Book
During the conversion to film, most of the characters were modified heavily. In author Anne Fine's 1987 young adult novel, "Alias Madame Doubtfire," all the main characters, apart from Natalie, tend to act in self-interest and expect a large amount of credit whenever they do otherwise. While Natalie is the only child left out of the loop in the film, she is the first to find out in the novel. The divorce of Miranda and Daniel in the book is also much more bitter.
The scene at dinner where Daniel becomes angry at Miranda's early arrival is present in the book but takes place prior to Daniel becoming Mrs Doubtfire. The references to Miranda getting diseases and Lydia telling him to stop it are present in both the book and film. Daniel does not swear in that scene in the book although he is reluctant to let the kids leave straight away as in the movie.
