Meeting Daddy (2000) Reviews
final film of veteran actor LLoyd Bridges
This is the final film that Lloyd Bridges starred in. He plays the ailing father whose grown children are concerned over. His daughter invites her fiance to be with them & then the fun begins. For the most part this is a pleasant lil romp, that does get quite farcial in the middle. I could of done with out so many visuals of bodily functions., Lloyd Bridges still has that sparkle on his eye that made him the big star he was. His son Beau appears as one of his sons in the film. Josh Charles is the slightly wooden fiance. Not really too much to recommend except to see Lloyd Bridges in his last role. rating is **1/2 as always Jay Harris
Kookie, off kilter, fun little unabashed romp??
"Meeting Daddy" tells of a young California couple who visit the female half's somewhat backward clan in Georgia where they encounter a menagerie of quirky off-beat characters including her daddy (L. Bridges). If you are into fun little romantic comedy romps and have a sense of appreciation for the irreverent and inane, you'll probably enjoy "Meeting Daddy". If not, you may be terminally bored if not somewhat repulsed. This genre defying little sleeper is a concatenation of old gags laced with a wisp of charm whipped up in a very peculiar sort of mix which will please some and displease others. Lloyd Bridges turns in a fine final performance as the laconic, manipulative, and eerily senile patriarch. A must see for wacky comedy lovers.
A truly original comedy in the vein of "Spanking the Monkey"
One of the best little films I've seen in a long time. Don't let the box art on the video fool you, this is NO family film! It's a highly original combination of romantic comedy, gross-out humor with a little bit of heart. Josh Charles (from Sports Night) is an "angry young man" writer who goes to meet his girlfriend's family in Savannah, Ga. The girlfriend is played by Alexandra Wentworth who I've never seen before but she' s funny and sexy and believable, I'd sure go to Savannah for her! Lloyd Bridges is funny/threatening as Wentworth's father, apparently this was his last film (I thought he died after "Mafia" can someone clear this up). His performance is truly outstanding in this movie. But, in addition to the performances, this director shows flashes of a really whacked-out imagination -- there's a scene with a talking severed toe, a vomiting scene that I can hardly describe and some dialogue that'll really take you by surprise.
If you think vomit is funny, this movie is for you.
I checked this movie out based on a review on this site. Please, save yourself the time and trouble of hoping this turkey goes somewhere. A decent cast, ample budget and a very unfunny story. Just terrible!
Save your time and money
Found this sleeper of a movie in the $1.99 bargain bin at Blockbuster and it was still not worth it. This poor attempt to mimic the gross-out humor of the Farrelly brothers falls beyond short. The plot is slow-moving, the characters are flat, and the comedy predictable. Alexandra Wentworth is way too old to play the girlfriend and her acting is just as amateur as when she was on In Living Color. Josh Charles does his best playing the more believable conservative boyfriend, but again the age difference is so obvious. Josh looks more like her son than her boyfriend. Lloyd Bridges performance is top notch and it's a shame that this was his final film, not just because he was an excellent actor but because this movie sucks big time!
