Theresa (Zoe Saldana) is a young woman who is about to introduce her fiancé to her father, Percy Jones (Bernie Mac). Percy is eager to meet his African-American daughter's businessman beau, but is shocked to learn that she is engaged to Simon Green (Ashton Kutcher), a white man. Staying with the Joneses to celebrate Percy and his wife's 25th wedding anniversary, the accident-prone Simon makes a terrible first impression and faces an uphill battle to win over his future father-in-law.

Critics Consensus

Despite the chemistry of its stars, Guess Who, a loose remake of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, lacks the political relevance of the original.

It is, after all, a comedy. Unfortunately, the movie forgets this toward the end.

In 1967, the answer was an unqualified yes, and in 2005, the answer is still, an only slightly less qualified, yes.

Not too many laughs and the acting at times just was pretty bad. A very forgettable movie. 4.1/10

46%. 11/12/25. Hadn't seen rating. Don't know why I liked this movie as a kid. As someone who likes Ashton Kutchar and his humor, I'm not sure I laughed at all during this film. Didn't bring out the best in him or Bernie, for whatever reason. Never rewatch since plot sucks and little to no comedy. 0/5 rewatch

I honestly hated the main female character. She was whiny and needed to grow up.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
