This isn't a great movie, but it sure is a nice one.

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.

...a predominantly affable comedy that benefits from the thoroughly compelling and charming efforts of its stars...

Benjamin gives the film a sunny, screwball feeling and works nicely with a charming cast.

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.

فلم حلو. قصة جيدة . دراما مقبولة لكن ضعيفة مع كوميديا خفيفة. طاقم العمل اداءه جيد صح ان شخصيات الفلم تفتقد للعمق الدرامي لكن تمثيلهم جميل و خفيف. المخرج عرض القصة بشكل رائع لم يضع اي تعقيد كل شيء كان على طبيعتة . التصوير كان جيد جدا مع موسيقى مقبولة . بختصار الفيلم ممتع للمشاهدة السريعة ويعمل عاطفيًا مع كوميديا خفيفة لكنه ضعيف من حيث البناء الدرامي .

Even with some appealing leads, Made in America proves wholly artificial when it comes to genuine character development and plot.

The actors here can't salvage the limp and sometimes implausible screenwriting. Was an enjoyable enough watch because of the 3 leads.

Entertaining movie but not happy that animals (bear, elephant,..) are used and abused in Hollywood.
