FABULOUSO
This movie has you laughing from beginning to end. Remakes of older movies tend to either fall short of being good or have such a different slant that it almost doesn't seem like a remake. This one leaves you feeling good at the end!
In most cases, cultural differences would not be so funny, but the performances of Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher are just hilarious. A daughter bringing home her fiance' to her parents home for the first time can be daunting enough, then add in the fact that he is of another race and eyebrows go up (whether it is intentional or otherwise). To watch how Bernie tries to see if Ashton is man enough for his daughter while also putting aside the cultural difference is laugh out loud funny. In the end, Ashton is all the man Bernie expects for his daughter and we are left with the feeling that people are people, no matter what their skin color.
Anyone who loves comedy will want to add this one to the collection! Two Thumbs Up...Way Up!
