Great Film: Who's Your Daddy?
this American Pie fantasy doesn't taste nearly as good
Chris, an adopted son of a moral family, a loser whom works at the
school newspaper with Kate (Christine Lakin from of the awful sugary
"Step by Step" show of the now thankfully defunct ABC's TGIF line-up),
finds out that he's just inherited a porn empire from his biological
parents. He loses sight of what true friendship and love is and blah
blah some other nonsense. He also has to contend with an Uncle who
wants control of the family business and a shifty lawyer (arn't they
are?) A slightly below average teen comedy that steals from better teen
comedies (the opening alone is HIGHLY American Pie-esquire), bops you
on the head with the moral every chance it gets, and wastes the only
star talent it has (Wayne Newton, Lin Shaye, and if i'm really
stretching the star word, Martin Starr of "Freaks and Geeks", and
Justin Berfield of "Malcolm in the Middle"). It's not bad exactly, but
it's far from good.
