Carbon Copy (1981)
Dull Carbon Copy
11 April 2008
After seeing the trailer, I was very excited about this film as it looked like a comedy about a white man suddenly finding out about his teenage black son. The film did start that way but it changes into something else and to something else from there. Thus, it starts as a comedy then switches into a messed up drama. There is no balance in the story and 'Carbon Copy' lacks soul. The audience is presented with culture clashes but none of it goes anywhere. Moreover, there are numerous clichéd moments that only bored me. George Segal and. Denzel Washington do well but not enough to save the movie. I only sat through this hoping that there will be some salvation but alas!
