Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

g-bodyl Guess Who, which is a loose remake of the 1967 classic "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner", is a better film than I anticipated, but still not all that great. It's more of a mediocre film that has some good laughs at time and subtle chemistry between the two leads. All of these comedies that tend to be about race(black vs. white) are generally unfunny, but this film does have some funny moments.Kevin Sullivan's film is about a young couple named Theresa and Simon who just got engaged. Theresa takes her fiancée to meet her parents and they, especially her father, Percy is taken aback on how much different Simon is from them. That leads to tension and all sorts of fun things happening.The acting is not too shabby. As mentioned previously, the actors have some subtle chemistry. I always happened to be a fan of Bernie Mac so I was happy to see him here since he was the best thing about the movie. I'm not a fan of Ashton Kutcher and probably will never be, but I did feel sympathetic for his character.Overall, this is a decent movie if you can look past the racial themes and more unfunny moments than funny moments. That being said, there are some good jokes and my favorite scene is when Simon meets the grandfather for the first time around the dinner table. All-in-all, not a bad film but could have been better. I rate this film 7/10.

Jackson Booth-Millard I did wonder about the title when I heard about it, then I heard it was loosely based on the classic film Guss Who's Coming to Dinner, so I was certainly interested to see it, from director Kevin Rodney Sullivan (Barbershop 2: Back in Business). Basically Percy Jones (Bernie Mac) and wife Marilyn (Judith Scott) are planning to renew their wedding vows, and at the same time their daughter Theresa (Avatar's Zoë Saldaña) is planning to bring home her boyfriend Simon Green (Ashton Kutcher). The parents had no idea that Theresa's boyfriend was white, and they certainly didn't know that they planned to tell them of their engagement plans during the weekend. The race issue complicates situations between Simon and his to-be father in law, Percy doesn't trust him, so much so that he looks into his past history, and he finds out he lost his job recently. He never told Theresa, and she is upset with both Simon for lying to her and her father for doing what he did, and so is Marilyn, both are ditched and have to come together to work things out. In the end. all relationships are restored, and the final scenes see Percy and Marilyn happily marrying again, and Simon and Theresa happy and looking forward to their future together. Also starring Hal Williams as Howard Jones, Kellee Stewart as Keisha Jones, Robert Curtis Brown as Dante and RonReaco Lee as Reggie. You could argue that this is pretty much a remake of the classic Spencer Tracy/Katharine Hepburn/Sidney Poitier film, just swapping the races round, but there are some big differences, like a more competitive rivalry between the black father and white guy, such as the racing scene, but that doesn't mean it is better, the original is obviously much more poignant, and this attempt to make it more funny doesn't quite work, but it is a romantic comedy worth a go once I suppose. Okay!

Boba_Fett1138 Of course this movie is mostly being blasted because it was released so shortly after the success of "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers", which uses the exact some concept. Only difference with this movie is that it's about an interracial couple. But also when you look beyond this and ignore the fact that this movie is basically the interracial version of "Meet the Parents", it just isn't a great movie because for a comedy its surely lacking. Basically Bernie Mac was the only reason that I still found this movie to be an enjoyable one to watch. Perhaps biggest problem is that the movie is too predictable. No not just with its story, I mean basically everyone already knows in advance how this movie is going to end but also comical wise the movie is too predictable. They surely didn't came up with a whole lot of original moments and because everything happens in such a predictable manner, the comedy also just doesn't always work out.The movie could had been a better one, had it handled its subject of an interracial relationship better. That way the movie could perhaps had send out a message but it doesn't really does so now. The movie doesn't take away any stereotypes, instead it only sort of confirms them and it happily does so, in order to provide the movie with racial-typed humor. Somehow I have the feeling that it perhaps could had worked out better had the guy been black and the girl white and so her parents, who they are visiting, as was the case in the original movie this movie got based on; "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", staring Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier and Katharine Hepburn, which was also a drama rather than a comedy. Even though I haven't seen that movie yet I still am sure of it that that movie its theme worked out better, perhaps also because it was a '60's movie when interracial relationships obviously were still a bigger issue. Seriously, when I take a black girl or Asian or whatever home one of these my parents surely won't make a big issue out of it at all. So isn't this a movie a bit too outdated already with its theme and only relevant had it been made about 40 years ago? That is if the film-makers intentions were to take away the stereotypes and reluctances and intolerability of people towards interracial relationship but I have the idea that the film-makers simply dropped this idea and intentions and went for a simple full-blood comedy instead. I haven't seen Bernie Mac in an awful lot of movies, also since he started out pretty late white his acting career but so far I have always liked him in his comical roles. He plays it serious and sarcastic rather than over-the-top funny which makes him such a great and hilarious actor in my opinion. It's also mostly his movie in my opinion and Asthon Kutcher gets pushed more to the background by him, even though Ashton Kutcher surely ain't a bad actor either, no matter what other people always say about him.A comedy you can surely do without but when you decide to watch it you'll still be most likely lightly entertained by it.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

akronactor Heres an idea for this kind of movie- instead of the guy who's about to meet his girlfriends parents being a spineless wimp who really wants to be accepted by his future in laws, how about a movie where the guy actually has enough courage to stand up for himself, and tell his future father in law that hes not gonna put up with stuff like being hooked up to a lie detector or sleeping in the same bed with him? Another question- how come none of the characters like Bernie Mac's from this movie have ever been accused of incest ? For most of this movie Simon Green is such a pushover that he really does not make a sympathetic character. Bernie Mac basically just plays the same arrogant character he always does.
