3/4
This isn't a great movie, but it sure is a nice one. Go to Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media 04/17/2024
But in terms of achieving cheap laughs, this movie doesn't care about making sense. Its weakness is that it succumbs to the kind of dumb humor that runaway elephants supply. Go to Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews 08/10/2022
3/4
...a predominantly affable comedy that benefits from the thoroughly compelling and charming efforts of its stars... Go to Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant 05/30/2018
Benjamin gives the film a sunny, screwball feeling and works nicely with a charming cast. Go to Full Review Chris Hicks Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 10/18/2008
1.5/4
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. Go to Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com 09/28/2007

Tim M Nov 5 Even with some appealing leads, Made in America proves wholly artificial when it comes to genuine character development and plot. See more John A @ExcessMale 05/08/2024 The actors here can't salvage the limp and sometimes implausible screenwriting. Was an enjoyable enough watch because of the 3 leads. See more Steve D 02/21/2023 Ridiculous but entertaining. See more 12/11/2021 Entertaining movie but not happy that animals (bear, elephant,..) are used and abused in Hollywood. See more 10/11/2020 Hilarious despite Whoopie. See more 04/23/2017 Just passable - not really a comedy or a drama, even though it's trying to be both. Ted Danson's OK as Hal, but Whoopi Goldberg & Will Smith don't really have that much to do and the "main" character Zora (Long) is barely even a character. Some stupid animal moments, maybe two real laughs, but a nice wrapped-up conclusion. See more Read all reviews
