Customer Reviews

Sweet, funny and sometimes silly
Definitely not the best film in the world, but very enjoyable. Ted Danson plays a self-absorbed, alcoholic, bed-hopping car salesman and wealthy owner of a large car dealership. Whoopi Goldberg portrays a widowed single mom of a teenage daughter who owns an African-centric shop.

Whoopi has given the impression to her daughter that her late husband was her child's father, but when she finds her father's death certificate, she knows that is impossible. Whoopi confesses that in the lonely period after her husband's death, she resorted to sperm donation.

With the help of her boyfriend (hilariously played by Will Smith), she breaks into the sperm bank's computer records to find the identity of her father and lo and behold - it's Ted Danson.

She's a little shocked and when she reveals her findings to her mother, her mother is horrified. When Ted Danson's character is confronted with the news, his life takes a 180. He now has responsibilities as a father, even though he was told that his sperm would only be used for research when he donated several years earlier. He now has something to live for and finds that he can actually like himself and he finds himself loving the child he never knew. He stops bed-hopping and drinking and finds himself focusing on catching up on his daughter's life.

There are some ridiculous scenes in this movie and some very cheesy, over-acted parts, but as a whole, it is an entertaining and enjoyable experience. There are a few scenes that will put a lump in your throat and others that will have you doubled-over with laughter... and in the end, you feel you're a part of this mixed-heritage family.

Made in America
It was so good and heartfilling you would really enjoy it that is one of them movies that will get your attention because their is love in the air and finding out that you are a father and learning how to care about somebody I think it is a really good movie thank you.

A Feel Good Movie
This movie's story line is about how two people, who are polar opposites, find their lives collide because of a young woman's desire to find her dad. The outcome is loving and amazing. However, the story is told with both tremendous humor as well as pathos, that you will just enjoy every moment. I owned this movie years ago in a video casette format and chose to replace it with the dvd because the story was too good to ever let go. You cannot go wrong with this purchase. Real life should only be this good!
