The Good American (2009)
An intimate portrayal of one mans American Dream
17 January 2017 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
What is it to be an American?
The Good American looks at this questions through the lens of Tom Weise - an immigrant from Germany to the U.S. - who finds his niche in the most unlikely of the places. Mr. Weise is a lovable protagonist who leans on his determination, smarts, and huge heart to navigate his way through a country full of contradictions. Along the way Mr. Weise finds love and blossoms into a savvy businessman.
The film examines issues of immigration and assimilation, the male escort industry, entrepreneurship, and being gay in the 90's and 00's.
A must-see for any American. I loved it!
