Critic Reviews

  • Chris Hicks, Deseret News, Salt Lake City

    This first-time screenplay by Holly Goldberg Sloan feels more like an outline, and director Richard Benjamin doesn't seem to know quite what to do with it.

  • Neil Cohen, Echo Magazine

    A fun time capsule with a very likable cast.

  • Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com

    Has anyone else noticed the apparent subtext that black men are unstable and unreliable, and only a white man can be sensitive to a black woman's needs?

  • Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum

    About the least funny comedy ever created.

    Made in America (1993) Very dated and awkward comedy with the kinda unfunny Ted Danson and annoying Whoopi Goldberg. The whole plot is pretty dumb really as Danson's character is made out to be the father of Nia Long's character after giving a sperm sample many years… More

    Whoopi Gooldberg is truly a Comedian with her own skills in the Movie, she totally steals my attention in every of her Movies. Too Sad a very tiny bit part of Will Smith.

  • Anthony L


    Painful and insulting to anyone with half a brain.

  • Candy R


    Interesting story about Ted being the sperm donor of Whoopi's child. Will's character is funny.

  • danny d
