Movie Reviews of Guess Who
Movie Review: Destined to become a "classic, possibly the defining, Bernie Mac movie."
Summary: 5 Stars
Sweet movie. It helped me get through a bad time when my dad was in the hospital. I had to come home to an empty house - sad and worried - and mostly, so very alone. It was at night and those feelings are amplified at nighttime. A friend had sent me "Guess Who" and due to the negative reviews it received, I had thought I would not like it, so I had postponed watching it. I put it in the dvd player earlier that day and as I stood in the house trying to decided what to do - whether to go to a motel to spend the night or not - I remembered that I had put "Guess Who" in the dvd player earilier that day and had liked the voices of the lead characters for the few minutes it played in the background. I pressed "Play" and the voices of this loving family, though in conflict through much of the movie, calmed me enough for me to know that I could spend the night at home by myself.Movie Review: "FUN, FUN, FUN!!!"
Summary: 5 Stars
"Guess Who" is an excellent and funny comedy about an African/American man who discovers that his beloved daughter is much in love with a white boy. Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher, who play the father and the girl's love interest, have wonderful chemistry as each try to prove to the other they are looking out for the girl's best interest.
This is really one of my favorite Ashton films as the script is beautifully directed and the leads give standout performances.
Like many Ashton Kutcher romantic comedies "Guess Who" (loosley based on the 1967 film "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?") was an enormous success garnering over $100,000,000 at the box office.
The DVD includes deleted scenes, gag reel, commentary by the film's director, and the featurette "Love is the Melody: The Making of Guess Who".
Movie Review: GREAT!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was very funny and heartwarming, as well being well acted and plotted. Apparently there are a lot of people with no sense of humor and no heart, because the other reviews were less than complimentary, to say the least.
I genuinely enjoyed this movie, and unlike a lot of comedies, will probably see it again. Good music too! Hmmmm, a "black" movie without a single rap tune. (It CAN be done!) I guess the problem for the critics is that it had a good ending, nobody got tortured and killed, nobody lost everything or went into drug rehab, and nobody tripped and set the house on fire or caught their pecker in a zipper. This was down to earth, humanly funny and real, and surprisingly poignant at times. Watch it with someone you love.
Movie Review: Funny
Summary: 5 Stars
If I am the only person in this world who enjoyed this movie, then so be it! I thought it was hilarious, well-acted, touching, romantic and thought-provoking. It was a comedy, folks - so lighten up a little. It was not supposed to be a social commentary like the original Sidney Poitier film of the sixties.
I don't think interracial relationships are as shocking as they once were, so Bernie Mac gave a believable performance as a Black father who was not exactly thrilled with his daughter dating outside of her race.
I love Ashton Kutcher - especially in PUNK'D. Give him a break! And laugh a little - it can't hurt.
Movie Review: Excellent Comedy in the Vein of "Meet the Parents" and "Win A Date with Tad Hamilton"
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful film! Ashton Kutcher is his usual bumbling awkward self, Bernie is flat out hilarious, and the rest of the cast does a wonderful job supporting the story. If you enjoy romantic comedies with an ornery edge then this is your film.
A NOTE TO CHRISTIAN VIEWERS
This film has brief sexual references, some moderate language, and implied intemacy before marriage. Although not commendeble in any film, this elements are kept to a minimum, and are still much milder than most of what hollywood puts out nowadays.
