Reviews for Guess Who
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
Guess Who is a pleasant surprise. Ashton Kutcher’s at his most endearing and Bernie Mac is the best he’s been in a feature film.
03/23/05
I don’t think Guess Who is a very good movie about its subject...but it works pretty well as a piece of light entertainment.

Wait a sec, are those sirens? *BAD IDEA POLICE HERE, PULL OVER!
03/24/05
Twenty minutes in, we know where the movie is going and, as a result, it loses momentum in the final half-hour.
03/24/05
Top Critic...closer to Meet the Parents than its nominal precursor, but we might take that as a sign of social progress
03/27/05
Guess Who isn't very smart and it isn't very funny. In fact, it isn't much of anything.

Top CriticGuess Who is a movie that plays the race card for gentle laughs ...

The makers of Guess Who appear to have given more thought to targeting an audience than building a believable movie.

Is it a compliment to say that "Guess Who" is better than "Booty Call?" More compelling than "Texas Rangers?" Superior to "B*A*P*S?" Guess not.

The laughs are few and far between.

If you're looking for a meaningful consideration of the intricacies that come with introducing your white boyfriend to your black family, you're probably eating nachos at the wrong multiplex.

If Sullivan wasn't so reliant on plot gimmicks, Guess Who might have been a full-course meal instead of finger food.
04/13/05
It is, in a real sense, a more honest film than its precursor.
03/25/05
Director Kevin Rodney Sullivan and writers David Ronn, Jay Scherick and Peter Tolan seed the comedy with reminders that ebony and ivory won't be livin' in perfect harmony, especially if they let the outside world interfere with them.
03/25/05
The film does pop off some huge belly laughs before the formula gets the better of it.
04/04/05
Guess Who works efficiently on its chosen level.
