  Good, well paced comedy
  
  Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher are perfectly cast here as the protective black father and the cautious white son-in-law to be.

  Not a patch on the original
  
  An OK film which was really neither a comedy or a drama. It was watchable but not recommendable. Compared to the original 'Guess who's coming to dinner... read more »

  Unfunny, casual racism abound.
  
  Awful.
  
  Meet the Parents, if they were racist.

  Guess Who (2005)
  
  Laughed all the way through it, a really lighthearted touch on a heavy subject with excellent performances all round. Enjoy!

  Not much guessing, really
  
  At first, with the overwrought mugging and grimacing and general overacting, I thought this well-intentioned if soft-centred film was aimed at 15-year-olds.read more »
