User Reviews
Made in America is directed by Richard Benjamin and collectively written by Marcia Brandwynne, Nadine Schiff and Holly Goldberg Sloan. It stars Whoopi Goldberg, Ted Danson, Nia Long, Will Smith and Jennifer Tilly.
When doing a biology project at school, Zora (Long) notices that her blood group is different from her mothers, Sarah (Goldberg). Having never known her father, Zora learns that she was the product of artificial insemination. Quickly setting off to find out who her father is, it comes as a big shock when it turns out he’s tall white car salesman Hal Jackson (Danson), a surprise since Zora and Sarah are black!
Not the most powerful of set ups it has to be said, but in spite of the lowly rating afforded it by many critics and film lovers, it’s a sweet and honest affair. Film pins its hopes on the central comedy premise of a white man somehow fathering a black daughter from a black mother. From there it follows a familiar course from the shock and horror born out by the reveal, to opposites at war and on to maybe opposites attracting? This of course only works if the viewer has a soft spot for Danson and Goldberg in the first place, but with them giving it complete gusto, and being a real off screen couple as well, their play off of each other is very easy to warm too. Sure it’s contrived, and very treacle based once we land in the final quarter, but the mixing of races aspect has been well handled by the makers and there’s some decent comedy moments. It may not be laugh out loud funny, unless you be the type of person who finds Danson astride a runaway elephant funny? But it has its moments and director Richard Benjamin is also enough of a pro to not let the pace sag. Good support comes from Long and Smith, while Tilly is wonderfully memorable as the fitness freak bimbo girlfriend of Danson.
Slight but never less than charming, it’s safely recommended to fans of the two principal stars. 6/10
Made In America stars Whoopi Goldberg, Nia Long,Will Smith and Ted Danson.
An African American woman who’s rearing her teenage daughter(Long) gets a shock when she discovers that the IVF she took while having her daughter belonged to a white man named Hal(Danson). When Sara(Goldberg) and Hal first meet up they can’t stand one a other but romance starts to blossom?.
Overall I enjoyed this film.
As another example of an average premise and equal execution «Made In America» doesn’t disappoint. Whoopie Goldberg and Ted Danson star as one-time customers of a sperm donor bank that has mistakenly given them a very curious daughter. Entering her mid-teens, their daughter Zora (played affably by Nia Long) discovers she is the product of their unintentional love. While Sarah (Goldberg) wanted a strong, tall black man, she would have settled at least for the last part. Instead, she is introduced to Danson by her intuitive daughter after she uses her friend (played by Will Smith) to steal sperm donor records.
The rest of the film is pretty much by-the-book. Father and Mother fight, get along, date, daughter gets weirded-out, parents save daughter from bad decision and hug. fade to credits and cliché song.
The movie IS worth watching. I give it crap because it’s fairly by-the-book but it’s not awful. When I first saw this film I was a fan of Danson from «Cheers» and Goldberg from her one-woman show and guest spots on Star Trek: The Next Generation. I remember being pleasantly surprised by both. Danson is an accomplished actor, best in «Pontiac Moon», and stretches his comedic skills here. Goldberg, on the other hand is best here in dramatic moments. She is warm and vibrant with splashes of real brilliance but it’s not enough. It’s not that she can’t do the comedy at all, she is an incredible comedian, the script just doesn’t give her enough to do besides be shrill and clumsy with a smattering of nice. Her few scenes with Danson are worth the time spent watching and make up for their tabloid headlines at the time. As for Smith’s performance, this early role wasn’t much different than most. Every minute on screen he is a joy, still in his «Fresh Prince» mode here he certainly doesn’t disappoint. Nia Long is the real find here. If one person from this film should have been given a better shake than anyone it is her. She is vibrant, funny and worthy of the people she shares the screen with. That says a lot.
I really like this film. It’s been on British T.V. almost as many times as Mary Poppins and I’m always glad to see it. There is a chaotic comic chemistry between Goldberg and Danson, but they don’t egotistically dominate the film, allowing the charming and funny performances by Nora Long, Jennifer Tilly, Will Smith, Peggy Rea and others to shine. I particularly like Tilly’s character, a new age airhead, and her new boyfriend, played by Fred Mancuso, who between them, make stupidity lovable. Everyone gets a fair chance, and they all make the best of it.
Formulaic as it is, Made in America is about racial identity, which is a difficult subject to address in such a frivolous form as romantic comedy, but it manages to more or less avoid cringes and concentrates on the laughs, only giving as much time to story as is necessary to keep everything moving on. Against the odds and thanks to the superb cast this is a good natured film. It harks back to the optimism of the early nineties, and seems strangely innocent, eleven years on.
«Made in America» is a formulaic romantic comedy with a pretty noble premise. That premise is obviously a setup for racial (not racist) gags, but it never becomes a one-joke comedy. Ted Danson and Whoopi Goldberg are great leads. They light up the screen with their (sometimes sexual) tension. Goldberg is one of my favorite actresses, and she’s wonderful in this role. It’s hilarious to watch her spontaneous outbursts. Nobody does ’em like Whoopi.
There are no real surprises in the plot. Danson is a conceited, self-indulgent used car salesman. He’s married to a floozy wife (Jennifer Tilly). Whoopi is a single parent who owns an African-American antique shop. Her daughter finds out that her real father (whose sperm was artificially inseminated) turns out to be Danson, that white used car salesman who does those crazy ads on TV. It’s pretty obvious what the punchlines will be and it’s pretty obvious how this sometimes schmaltzy story will end up.
However, it’s lightweight entertainment that isn’t meant to be thoroughly analyzed. Just enjoy it for its many laughs and endearing performances. It’s an innocuous, feel-good comedy. Even when it takes a dramatic turn at the third act, I didn’t feel the mood was ruined. I guess it’s because I felt a respect for all these likeable characters and was somewhat manipulated. Just how I felt the humor in the first and second acts, I felt the sadness in the third.
My score: 7 (out of 10)
Jennifer Tilly’s bit-part was funnier and more successful than Will Smith’s.
Made in America is hardly a classic but is worth watching if you like a little maturity in your comedy.
«Made in America» is an enjoyable, light hearted tale about the ethical problems of artificial insemination and the dilemmas it can cause.
Zora (Nia Long) decides to try and find her biological dad after discovering her mom (Whoopi Goldberg) went to a sperm bank to get pregnant. The cast deliver the laughs very well from a script which makes the most of the very funny situation. There is a more serious side to this story, but director Richard Benjamin wisely keeps it low key whilst the comedy holds the floor.
Most fans shouldn’t mind the gooey happy ending, after a very satisfactory, and humorous film.
Despite mixed reviews and obnoxious comments about this film from several aquaintences this movie proved to be funny,heartwarming and entertaining.
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.
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.
I’d just finished reading the User Comments, before writing my own, and I can’t understand why everyone panned it!! Okay, so it’s not exactly Oscar-worthy, but it’s good for a few laughs.
Okay, so it’s not the greatest, but it’s fine for a rainy day. On a scale of 1 to 10, it’d earn about 5.5.
Richard Benjamin directed this. Ted Danson plays a lead as Hal the auto salesman. Whoopi Goldberg plays a lead as Sarah. Will Smith plays a lead as occasional boyfriend. Jennifer Tilley, oh dear.
What a mess of a movie and completely uneven, wavering all over the place from outrageous slapstick (a racing elephant. ) to frequent attempts at poignancy. Too huge and sudden swerves in characterization by the leads matching the swerves of their vehicles, motorcycles and bicycles.
BUT: instead we have this simplistic plot with very few laughs.
Only good point is a white-black romance without any eyebrow raising or racism (made in 1993) and we still (2008) haven’t had many of those in theatres). Whoopi chews the scenery all through it. But the (lack of decent)script is 100% responsible. Avoid. 4 out of 10.
I liked this film more when I first saw it, rating it a 7 out of 10, but seeing it again since its VHS release, I found it quite disappointing and very flawed. For one thing, Whoopi Goldberg’s character isn’t exactly like a ball until she is confronted with the possibility that her daughter Nia Long’s biological father by artificial insemination maybe white and she actually has a connection with him. He’s played by Ted Danson, spoofing real life Southern California car salesman Cal Worthington, a reference movie viewers would only get if their lives there and watched late-night TV. Whoopi starts off the film really irritating, riding her bike opposite traffic on busy city streets, nearly causing accidents everywhere she turns. She’s also very temperamental a lot of times, and that doesn’t make her character someone that the audience can identify with and genuinely like. The scene with the two white women going into her African American antique shop is truly absurd, especially the results of what happens when she locks them in.
A young Will Smith plays Long’s best buddy, who has a crush on her even though she only thinks of him as a friend. She publicly humiliated him when she takes him to a sperm bank and asks him to distract the nurse while she checks out the records, finding out that her father is Ted Danson. At this time in real life, dancing and Goldberg were romantically involved, and they do have good screen presents together but not necessarily great chemistry. She’s rather rude to him simply because he’s white and also because Long went to see him, resulting in some oddball racial points of view even though it is about a mixed-race relationship. That makes it very strange in retrospect. Peggy Rea as dancing secretary and Lou Leonard as the sperm bank nurse are very funny, while Jeffrey Joseph as Goldbergs’ gay African born clerk is hysterical, preferring to listen to Judy Garland over native African music. It’s a mixed bag that is enjoyable but unfortunately flawed and often head-scratching.

Не будем горячиться
Буквально накануне на экраны вышли «Замороженные вклады» /1992/, также с участием популярной комедийной актрисы – Шелли Лонг, которые не вызвали у публики абсолютно никакого интереса. А лучше всего тему искусственного оплодотворения раскроет, пожалуй, канадец Кен Скотт, причём «римейки» его невероятно смешной и одновременно трогательной ленты «Папаша» /2011/ увидят свет как в США, и во Франции. Однако в коммерческом отношении две ведущие кинематографические державы, объединив усилия (и финансы!), добились наивысшего успеха 1 именно благодаря фильму со столь же знаменательным, сколь и двусмысленным названием «Сделано в Америке». Кинодраматург и будущая писательница Холли Голдберг Слоан (между прочим, сочинившая сюжет вместе с двумя другими представительницами слабого пола) прозрачно намекнула на то, что же происходит – или по крайней мере может случиться – в случае, если такой естественный, пусть и крайне нелёгкий, процесс, как рождение детей уподобить… производству промышленных товаров, на которые ставят штамп Made in America. Весело, что и говорить.
Ти Кейку весело
