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.

Reviews for Guess Who
I laughed at the interplay and think anyone should enjoy this fun film.
04/14/05
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
While Guess Who gets some mileage out of its black and white issues, it’s more focused on being the interracial romantic comedy answer to Meet the Parents.
04/13/05
Oh well, Bernie. There’s always "Ocean’s 13" to look forward to.
04/08/05
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.
04/07/05
To say that the whole question of race in this movie is only skin- deep is an insult to the strength and elasticity of skin.
04/06/05
The film does pop off some huge belly laughs before the formula gets the better of it.
04/04/05
its treatment of race resides comfortably at the sitcom level, where it's safe to laugh about difference and then console ourselves with eventual inclusiveness
04/03/05
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?'
04/03/05
Mac and Kutcher have proved themselves better comics than actors, but both give charming, subtle performances here.

Top CriticHad Mac and Kutcher not had such great chemistry together, this wouldn’t have worked...

Guess Who is a movie that plays the race card for gentle laughs ...
04/01/05
Well, guess what? “Guess Who” isn’t a remake…at least, not of “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.” It’s more like “Meet the Fockers” with themes about bigotry and honesty.
03/31/05
A creative misstep that will likely pay off commercially.
03/31/05
The film is content to poke gentle fun, not try to blaze any trails, unlike its much more illustrious predecessor.
03/31/05
The absolute lack of cultural identity on the part of any of the characters -- black or white -- is what left me with a bad aftertaste.
03/31/05
The filmmakers seem to have forgotten that even today, the most memorable battles have two fronts. And they usually don’t involve a man wearing a woman’s underwear.
03/30/05
There are some weak stabs at deriving humor from the white guy trying to fit into the black family... More often, [it's] of the "suspicious dad/nervous boyfriend" variety.
03/30/05
A respectable enough comedy.
