Plot: Richard Benjamin directed this farce that plays like Guess Who's Coming for Insemination? Whoopi Goldberg stars as Sarah Matthews, who runs an African-American oriented bookstore in Oakland. She is raising her daughter, a beautiful high school student named Zora (Nia Long), on her own after her husband's death many years earlier. As a result of a science class blood test, Zora discovers that the man she thought was her father actually wasn't. Instead Zora finds she was the result of artificial insemination. After researching the sperm bank's records, Zora discovers, much to the surprise of Sarah and herself, that the anonymous sperm donor is in fact, Hal Jackson (Ted Danson), a loud, crude obnoxious (and white) used-car dealer who advertises on late-night television. Zora visits Hal while he is filming a commercial and Hal brushes her off. Enraged, Sarah tells Hal off, but after meeting Zora he now feels a paternal itch. Not only that, but he is beginning to feel an attraction to Sarah. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

THIS MOVIE IS WORTHLESS!!!!!! First of all..Ted Dansen hasn't done anything good since Cheers. Whoopi Goldberg is the darkest grossest thing I've seen in any movie including aliens! She has no future and I swear she lives in my apartment complex and walks her dog all day long. What was she thinking....are those genie pants she's wearing!!!? I almost threw up right now talking about it with a friend and this movie disgusts me. If you really feel like wasting a penny on this movie about a sorry man's sperm to make a baby then be my guest....

This was a cute movie starring then lovers Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson as unlikely parents when their biological daughter discovers her paternity. A mistake at a fertility clinic lands the two polar opposites together while a young Will Smith tries to win over his best friend.

Just before Ted Danson began his 11th and final season of his sitcom Cheers in 1992,he teamed up with Whoopi Goldberg in this hysterical and somewhat romantic comedy. This led to the stars' real-life brief romance. Hal Jackson(Danson) is a truck salesman who is the father of Zora Matthews(Nia Long). Zora's mother(Goldberg) was artificially inseminated when she became pregnant with Zora. When Zora went to the sperm bank,she learned Hal was her father,which means she's half-caucasian. Supporting cast members include Jennifer Tilly,who's Hal's girlfriend and Will Smith,who was then the star of the sitcom The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. This led to a major film career for former rapper Smith. In the final scene,at Zora's high school graduation,Hal and Zora's mother are embracing and smooching. That reminds fans of TV's The Jeffersons of the sitcom's interracial couple Tom and Helen Willis.

The movie was funny because of Will smith and Whoopi but the reason I like this movie was because it was filmed in my hometown which is Oakland.Everytime I watch it i always think about When I did not want to leave Oakland. I'm originally from East Oakland. Good shot at Lake merritt.

P.S.
Nia long was bangin in the movie
