Liked it a lot...don't understand low rating here

Just watched on Bounce TV, and ancillary channel available here in NYC to those of us "cable-less" free TV antenna viewers.I thought it was a very well done comic treatment of a very real American issue. Racism is never dead, it just hides under the surface like an indolent disease. I thought George Segal did a fine job. Jack Warden played the rich, controlling, pragmatic racist father in law to tee. And then there is Denzel. I watched the opening credits and saw "and Introducing Denzel Washington". How could ANYONE resist that?? Maybe I am just blinded by love ;) but the talent was just so obvious in this very early performance.

You've seen it all before..... but it still works .............

One part "Fire Sale" ( White family adopting Black child ), one part "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" ( the culture clash surprise ), one part "Life Stinks" ( the reality of life on the streets ), and you pretty much have "Carbon Copy". The movie can stand on it's own however, because George Segal and Denzel Washington compliment each other nicely as mismatched Father and Son. There are a number of laugh out loud moments, and some social lessons too. If you go in not expecting too much in the way of logic, you will not be disappointed. I think George Segal is very underrated as a comedy actor. Just take a look at "Where's Poppa?" if you disagree. - MERK
