Too Funny, Mar 1 2007
By Jan E. Elkins "libraryhag" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Meeting Daddy (DVD)
I came across this movie on cable and could not stop watching. It is quirky and crazy. I am from the south so it rang very true to me. Try it.

Ruined by an ending, Oct 12 2008
By J. Brown - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Meeting Daddy (DVD)
This movie was a reasonably entertaining comedy up until the last 5 minutes, nothing special but certainly not bad, then came the ending which made no sense and seemed tacked on. I would recommend skipping this one.

Good Potential. Poor Execution., Oct 10 2008
By Michael B. Druxman "A Good Story is a Terribl... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Meeting Daddy (DVD)
I think that writer-director Peter Gould and his fellow filmmakers intended that this 1998 movie should be a comedy, sort of a down South version of MEET THE PARENTS. Unfortunately, though the potential is there for a hilarious romp, neither the script, the direction, nor the actors are very funny.I'm not saying that the actors aren't good (They are.) or that the film doesn't have other merits (It does.). It's just that the people involved don't appear to have that special gift for doing comedy, thus we're given a straight light drama with several missed opportunities for laughter.
Josh Charles plays a struggling Los Angeles Jewish novelist who travels to Georgia to meet the family of his girl friend (Alexandra Wentworth). These include her ailing, cantankerous, bigoted father (Lloyd Bridges in his final film role) and her brothers, Walter Olkewicz and Beau Bridges.
What was supposed to be a two-day visit with Alexandra's family turns into a two-week nightmare, with Charles finding himself having to virtually baby-sit Bridges for the entire time.
Though he looks shockingly ill, Bridges still manages to steal every scene in which he appears.
Kristy Swanson co-stars. The ending of this film might surprise you.
