Editorial Review:

Description:
When Theresa (Zoe Saldana) brings fiance Simon Green (Ashton Kutcher) home for her parents' 25th wedding anniversary, she's neglected to mention one tiny detail - he's white. Determined to break his daughter's engagement, Percy Jones (Bernie Mac) does everything he can to make Simon feel "apart" of the family, from running his credit report to locking him in the basement at night. But when Percy gleefully exposes Simon's most embarrassing secret, it leads to an outrageous series of comic complications that only goes to prove that with a dad like Percy Jones, father doesn't always know best.

Amazon.com:
Taken on its own terms as a big-screen sitcom, Guess Who offers plenty of humor with just enough social commentary to make its point without being preachy. Of course, we've come along way since interracial romance was such a hot-button issue in Stanley Kramer's earnest 1967 drama Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, and nobody's going to mistake Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac (in this updated semi-remake) with the original film's Sidney Poitier and Spencer Tracy. And that's fine, because Guess Who--from the director of Barbershop 2--doesn't pretend to be anything more than a slick, entertaining vehicle for domestic farce with the racial roles reversed. Kutcher's romance with an African-American beauty (Zoë Sandaña) causes sparks to fly when he's introduced to her father (Bernie Mac). What ensues is basically an interracial buddy comedy that's as uninspired as it is easy to watch, and there's a dinner-table scene that's refreshingly provocative in this movie's otherwise tamely cautious context. We can all be thankful that humanity has matured a little since the racial tensions of the late '60s, but Hollywood's progress (and Kutcher's career) remains subject to debate. --Jeff Shannon



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Embracing the Differences in Us All
Really enjoyed the movie. Ashton Kutcher was charming as always. Bernie Mac did a real good job. Sweet updated story about acceptance, embracing the differences in each other and committed love. Definitely not a 5 star movie but worth watching.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Satisfied
I've purchased mostly books from Amazon but I never hesitated in purchasing this movie because I am really happy w/Amazon. I've enjoyed this movie.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Dreadful - Destined for the Trash Bin
Couldn't get past twenty minutes. This is a humorless, predictable poor excuse of a movie. For a comedy, this doesn't have much of a comedic set up either. Plus - Ashton Kuchner hasn't appeared in a movie I liked yet. And did anyone notice a total lack of chemistry between the actors? This will have you rushing to watch Meet the Parents again. (PS I did not buy this film - it was given to me by someone who worked on it.)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the Boldest Most Provocative Films of History
The movie Guess Who may not be the best movie of all time, but it certainly will rank on many critics' lists as one of the best of a decade that has already given us so many rich works of celluloid. Bernie Mac is hilarious as a father who does not take kindly to Ashton Kutcher's bumbly potential son-in-law, and hilarious sparks are ignited all over the place.

I believe this movie is highly, HIGHLY original although I will admit it does borrow a little bit from the movie Meet The Parents. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great funny movie
I love this movie. It's quite funny and my 10 year old son enjoys it as well. I borrowed this from a friend and we watched it over and over and over. Just had to get my own copy.

The romance is subtle so it's a great movie for both adults and older kids.
