The film is predictable and its humor is tension free.

Surpasses expectation.

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.

I say sometimes that scripts get rewritten too much. I don’t know if this one got rewritten too much or not enough, but I wish they had given it another go and tried to strike a more consistent tone.

[The] interracial intimacy is so lightweight, dismissive, and flat that this toothless comedy loses its edginess...turns into another arbitrary salt-and-pepper buddy romp

Guess what - it's bad!

Light and fluffy, Guess Who is a mildly entertaining movie that could have been more had its makers been a little braver.

Messing with a classic movie can be dangerous business, which is probably one of the reasons why 'Guess Who' achieves only a modicum of success.

Theresa schools Simon: "Telling black jokes is never a good idea."
03/25/05
The timing of nearly every gag is just half a beat off, and that half-beat is a killer.
03/25/05
Let's just say that, on the charge of comedic intentions, the cinematic jury is still out.
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
Closer in spirit to Meet the Parents than Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, this comedy further confirms – for those who care – that Ashton Kutcher is no Ben Stiller.
