Reviews for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
An earnest liberal outing that today seems passive, tame and condescending, but still watchable because of the performances of Tracy, Hepburn and Poitier.

A most delightfully acted and gracefully entertaining film.

As an opus on race relations, Dinner certainly seems a bit daring, but it's just not standing the test of time terribly well.

Billed in 1967 as Hollywood's first film about interracial marriage, the film begs one question: What mother in her right mind will object to Sidney Poitier as a fiance to her daughter, being handsome, renowned pro (up for Nobel prize) and a gentleman

Tracy looks tired in this draggy production; he died soon afterward, and it's infuriating to watch him sweat to inject fire into such pap.

There are wonderful performances here, as you'd expect from Hepburn and Tracy, and there's no question that the film is well intentioned. Yet it's also hamfisted and self-congratulatory in the most galling way.

A disaster on all counts -- its time, if it ever had one, has definitely passed.

Top CriticA wishy-washy, sanctimonious plea for tolerance, directed with Kramer's customary verbosity and stodginess.
