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.

What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

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

Wes L. Nov 19 Not too many laughs and the acting at times just was pretty bad. A very forgettable movie. 4.1/10 See more Brian D Nov 13 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 See more Belle P. @Belle.P Oct 16 I honestly hated the main female character. She was whiny and needed to grow up.

Rated PG-13 for Sex-Related Humor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $68,000,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Red T 07/31/2023 It's disappointing because this concept could work if the dialogue was more witty, the plot had more underlying commentary, and the setting was during a different time. It feels like in 2005 especially that we're past this and feels out of place. Everything about this more importantly is just fundamentally ok but nothing special at all. Nothing pops cinematically, the camerawork is so basic, the music is boring and forgettable, and everyone is doing enough to be passable. Problem is no one has that much chemistry or charm. But the worst handicap is the humor is unfunny and service level humor with occasional out of place slap stick. It's the kind of humor you'd expect to find on BlackJokes.com, not in a major motion picture and it's not delivered in a witty way at all. And this ends up making you not care much at all about the main characters either. Add to it that it feels like stuff just happens when they meet the first time, don't like each other and secrets get revealed but it doesn't add anything to the plot of that make sense or add depth. They still don't like each other with or without the secrets all the same. I can't recommend this to anyone besides super die hard Kutcher fans because even though he's nothing special this is probably one of his "better" performances but that's not saying much.
