A lot of fun.
Made In America (1993)Plot In A Paragraph: A young black woman (Nia Long) discovers that her father was a sperm donor, and if that weren't bad enough, he's also white.I was was quite looking forward to this movie back in 1993, Whoopi Goldberg was one of my favourites at the time!! From popular movies like Jumping Jack Flash, Ghost and Sister Act to under rated little movies like Clara's Heart and Homer and Eddie. She was always a joy. Her teaming up Ted Danson gave me hope for some laughs, as I loved him in Cheers, and still watch re runs of it today. As for Will Smith, although I knew his TV show The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, I did not watch it!! For his second movie, he again took a supporting role, and truthfully he is the best thing in it. I hated this movie in 1993, didn't even watch it all when I rented it, and I would have turned it off after forty mins today, if I didn't have a hunch about the ending, which I told my girlfriend, and I simply wanted to see if I was right. I was.I didn't like it, as I don't find any form of racial prejudice funny, and that is not just the big joke here. It's the whole concept of the movie. America obviously got the joke (that I clearly don't) as the movie was a sizeable hit, grossing $44 million (on a budget of $22 million) at the domestic box office to end the year the 31st highest grossing movie of the year.
I don't see why so many people are trashing this one. I admit that there's plenty about it that doesn't make any sense, but there's plenty of good humor in it. The best part is the filming of the commercials. Who would have thought that a shoot that goes horribly wrong would produce footage much better than what was intended? Also, Nia Long is BEAUTIFUL. Out of all the films I've seen, I think this one is a hair above average.
Despite mixed reviews and obnoxious comments about this film from several aquaintences this movie proved to be funny,heartwarming and entertaining.Whoopi Goldberg plays Sarah Matthews,the mother of a seventeen year old - Zora (Nia Long). Their seemingly perfect life is changed dramatically when Zora finds that her father was not Mr Matthews - her apparently deceased father.Zora finds that she is in fact the product of an artificial insemination and that her father is unknown by her mother.Upset and curious about the whereabouts of her real father, Zora searches through the computer files for her Mother and finds that her father is in fact Hal Jackson (Ted Danson), a dumb used car dealer who is famous for his crass and stupid commercial on the local TV station.The traumas and dramas of the whole situation begin to simmer down and so do the hard feelings between Hal and Sarah. They fall in love and as you've probably already guessed, there is a very happy ending!! Awwwwww.
Richard Benjamin's 'Made in America' keeps harping on a theme in vogue.According to the script Nia Long realizes that her father was a sperm from a sperm-bank. Whoopie Goldberg - her mother - denies everything. Even that she was born at all. And then comes a white man called Ted Danson and upsets their whole world.So that's the story. Goldberg extravagant performance is annoying. However she and Danson falls in love with each other on the shooting.Will Smith has eyeglass, the script has no gags, and we have to see something else.4 of the 10.
