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, weve come along way since interracial romance was such a hot-button issue in Stanley Kramers earnest 1967 drama Guess Whos Coming To Dinner, and nobodys going to mistake Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac (in this updated semi-remake) with the original films Sidney Poitier and Spencer Tracy. And thats fine, because Guess Who--from the director of Barbershop 2--doesnt pretend to be anything more than a slick, entertaining vehicle for domestic farce with the racial roles reversed. Kutchers romance with an African-American beauty (Zo Sandaa) causes sparks to fly when hes introduced to her father (Bernie Mac). What ensues is basically an interracial buddy comedy thats as uninspired as it is easy to watch, and theres a dinner-table scene thats refreshingly provocative in this movies otherwise tamely cautious context. We can all be thankful that humanity has matured a little since the racial tensions of the late 60s, but Hollywoods progress (and Kutchers career) remains subject to debate. --Jeff Shannon
Description
When Theresa (Zoe Saldana) brings fiance Simon Green (Ashton Kutcher) home for her parents 25th wedding anniversary, shes neglected to mention one tiny detail - hes white. Determined to break his daughters 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 Simons 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 doesnt always know best.

Sweet movie. It helped me get through a bad time when my dad was in the hospital. I had to come home to an empty house - sad and worried - and mostly, so very alone. It was at night and those feelings are amplified at nighttime. A friend had sent me "Guess Who" and due to the negative reviews it received, I had thought I would not like it, so I had postponed watching it. I put it in the dvd player earlier that day and as I stood in the house trying to decided what to do - whether to go to a motel to spend the night or not - I remembered that I had put "Guess Who" in the dvd player earilier that day and had liked the voices of the lead characters for the few minutes it played in the background. I pressed "Play" and the voices of this loving family, though in conflict through much of the movie, calmed me enough for me to know that I could spend the night at home by myself.
Good Family Comedy

With 13 siblings, I have learned that everyone has their own tastes when it comes to family movies. "Guess Who" is a film that will appeal to all ages, offer some laughs and teach a good lesson all at the same time. Wonderful acting on all actors parts.

Simon Green and Theresa Jones are a normal couple. They are going home to visit her parents and her father Percy (played by the late great Bernie Mac) does not like the fact that his daughter is dating a white man.
Percy soon finds himself investigating Simon and finds out that Simon had recently lost his job, which Simon had neglected to tell Theresa. Percy also has stress because the reason why Theresa came home was because Percy and his wife are renewing their vows and he is having a hard time with his vows.
Do Percy and Simon work out their differences? Watch Guess who
