A mixture of "Meet the Parents" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" Guess Who is just funny enough. Starring Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher, "Guess Who" tells the story of Simon Green (Kutcher) as he drives home with his girlfriend Theresa (Zoe Saladana) to meet her family. Of course she has to mention to anyone, especially missed her father (Bernie Mac) is that her new boyfriend is white.
The film could have been a disaster. It had the potential in all the stereotypes we fall have come to expect from black and white comedy, "Bringing Down the House" and "Miss Congeniality 2" are two of the worst in recent memory. Granted, it's a little of this is here: Kutcher's character is in black jokes say to dinner with Theresa's family that she is intolerant racist grandfather, and Mac's character lies about his daughter, the friend of an employee incited to describe it instead as a black man named Jamal, who lives in Atlanta, plays> Basketball and went to Howard University. Apart from these examples, "Guess Who" is able, through the obvious pitfalls rise and race is a film that is pretty funny, some insightful and surprisingly endearing.
The downside of the film is an attempt not fall in racist stereotypes that it's a little too far in the opposite direction. Kutcher's character is the kid from the broken home, left with the single mother and father, who, when he was two. Percy is the upper classSnob with a love of NASCAR. I know the film was trying to make a point that all black people do not become poor or from broken families and all the white people do not racially suburban snobs, but sometimes I felt like the movie they do not even know what they wanted to sell. It felt as if they scream "Hey look, really look like no, people can be black wealthy, successful, and other sports such as basketball and football then," at the top of the lung.
Other then that "Guess Who" is not a bad way to spend two hours of your life. There is little chemistry between Kutcher and Bernie Mac are Saladana but Kutcher and the display lights up and shows some of the best on-screen chemistry is, especially for two people who are not involved romantically. Scenes in which they play football in the door and drunk are priceless, and a sequence where they face a house full of women angry at their significant others is come home funny> Sweet and very credible.
All in all, "Guess Who" is worth six dollars. It will not get nominated for an Oscar or at the forefront of improving relations between the races, but it's not a bad way to spend an afternoon. She laughs enough to interest you, and it is a film that can appeal to both sexes, you will be a time and each be satisfied.
