March 25, 2005 | In "Guess Who," directed
by Kevin Rodney Sullivan ("Barbershop 2"),
Ashton Kutcher plays an incomprehensibly sweet hotshot
stockbroker named Simon who's secretly engaged to his
stunning artist girlfriend, Theresa (Zoë Saldaña).
But Theresa's parents, Percy (Bernie Mac), a bank loan
officer, and Marilyn (Judith Scott), a school principal,
don't know that Simon is white. When Theresa brings
Simon home to the affluent New Jersey homestead, he
faces not only the usual "Are you good enough for
my daughter?" scrutiny -- served up by one intimidating
daddy -- but also nagging feelings of inadequacy for
not being the "right" color. more..
Review By Vince
Leo :
A remake (of sorts) of the 1967 classic comedy,
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, except with the races
reversed. While the original film had the breaking of
racial stereotypes in mind, this updated version has
it more in mind to have fun with them for the sake of
the comedy. As Black/white relationships aren't nearly
as taboo today as they were in the 1960s, the social
commentary of the original is mostly absent here, although
it does depict some of the difficulties that are still
prevalent for interracial couples, especially for parents
who have always envisioned the type of man they want
their daughters to marry. More..
