There are moments when it seems Kutcher might look right into the camera and say, 'Ready to see me walk right into another impossibly stupid faux pas?'

Reviews for Guess Who
A bland rom-com that seems afraid of its own subject matter.
03/01/07
1st third is sharp, funny, well edited & directed. But, contrivances accumulate one after the other.
03/22/05
Its cast is appealing, its script is often clever and imaginative, and it leaves us in much the same place as the Kramer classic: hopeful that race will someday cease to be a major issue in American life.
03/24/05
Theresa has neglected to tell said parents that Simon is just about the whitest boy alive, an omission that causes what passes for comedy to occur when her dad finds out.
03/25/05
Top CriticThe makers of Guess Who appear to have given more thought to targeting an audience than building a believable movie.
03/27/05
Romantic fantasies of idealized materialism that have been marketed to white viewers for decades are now being peddled to upwardly mobile African-Americans. Is this progress?
03/25/05
I'm not opposed to drawing from the well of movies past. But to remake one with such a dated and specific point of view, one that relies on the interracial relationship as hot button, is both lazy and uncomfortably nostalgic.
03/24/05
Top CriticIt offers a few solid laughs and will provoke some smiles, but there's too much of a tendency to go for obvious, largely unfunny humor when something more subtle would have satisfied.
03/22/05
Top CriticAfter setting the stage with insultingly shopworn plot contrivances, Guess Who finds its comedy footing by playfully dancing along the edge of political incorrectness.
03/23/05
Guess Who owes more to Meet the Parents than it does Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.
03/25/05
A funny, if sometimes uneven (and uncomfortable) comedy.
03/25/05
Just as Meet the Parents begat Meet the Fockers, if Guess Who turns out to be a hit, expect a sequel, Meet the Honkies, somewhere down the line.
03/23/05
A warm movie that's well cast and funny enough as it works through passive-aggressiveness to aggressive-aggressiveness and finally the acceptance of family.
03/25/05
Rather than being like Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, this is more like Meet the Parents, and the Parents are Black.
03/25/05
Surpasses expectation.
03/28/05
Light on its feet while being sly about how it dances around the social issue at hand.
03/24/05
Balance out the few highs and many, scatological lows of "Meet the Parents" and you've got "Guess Who," a movie whose mild brand of comedy is floated by an enjoyable ensemble.
03/25/05
[Guess Who uses the personal chemistry between Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher...to create an amusing little film that has the feel of an extended TV sitcom.
03/24/05
If you never even begin to compare this film to the classic that inspired it ... then it's a perfectly enjoyable bit of fluffy farce.
