Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

A remake of Guess who's coming to dinner, but this time, it's hilarious because Ashton Kutcher is the minority!! Oh the hilarity of racial tension.....Theresa takes her boyfriend, Simon home to meet her parents on the occasion of her parents' 25th wedding anniversary, planning to reveal that they are engaged. However, what Theresa has also left out is that Simon is white......Actually it's not as bad as you'd think because Mac and Kutcher have great chemistry in the film. And the the fact that Theresa's boyfriend is White is nothing more than a parlour trick, distracting the viewer.The film is nothing more than the age old problem that fathers have when their daughters grow up, hoping that the man they marry will provide for them, and be able to step up when the going gets tough.And although some of the humour does ebb towards cultural references (the dinner scene is the lowlight of the film), it's charming enough just to get by with Mac getting on at Kutcher throughout the film.It's never going to be anything else but a background film, but there are a few funny moments.RIP Bernie Mac.

Guess Who (2005): Dir: Kevin Rodney Sullivan / Cast: Ashton Kutcher, Bernie Mac, Zoe Saldana, Judith Scott, Hal Williams: Expectations are surpassed in this routine comedy that takes the theme from Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and reverses it when a young black woman brings her white fiancée home to meet her folks. Simple setup works with a structure that is sitcom within its limited sets. Director Kevin Rodney Sullivan toys with modern culture. He does a terrific job at taking the situation from the 1967 film and reversing the odds. Where it goes wrong is the screenplay taking these themes and turning them into a situation sitcom where it relies on the leads to carry it. Ashton Kutcher plays off the nervousness of racial tension. He also quit his high profile job without informing his fiancée. Bernie Mac is hilarious as the father-in-law who suspects Kutcher as a fake and takes precautions. Despite their chemistry they are dealing with predictable formula. Zoe Saldana plays Kutcher's fiancée who is basically there to be pulled in two directions, get angry, then demand resolution. Judith Scott plays mother-in-law who is at best when she is cautioning Mac otherwise the role is standard issue. The film that apparently inspired this mishap was not a comedy and certainly hit harder with its theme. Who would have guessed that the remake would disappoint? Score: 4 / 10

Of course this movie is mostly being blasted because it was released so shortly after the success of "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers", which uses the exact some concept. Only difference with this movie is that it's about an interracial couple. But also when you look beyond this and ignore the fact that this movie is basically the interracial version of "Meet the Parents", it just isn't a great movie because for a comedy its surely lacking. Basically Bernie Mac was the only reason that I still found this movie to be an enjoyable one to watch. Perhaps biggest problem is that the movie is too predictable. No not just with its story, I mean basically everyone already knows in advance how this movie is going to end but also comical wise the movie is too predictable. They surely didn't came up with a whole lot of original moments and because everything happens in such a predictable manner, the comedy also just doesn't always work out.The movie could had been a better one, had it handled its subject of an interracial relationship better. That way the movie could perhaps had send out a message but it doesn't really does so now. The movie doesn't take away any stereotypes, instead it only sort of confirms them and it happily does so, in order to provide the movie with racial-typed humor. Somehow I have the feeling that it perhaps could had worked out better had the guy been black and the girl white and so her parents, who they are visiting, as was the case in the original movie this movie got based on; "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", staring Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier and Katharine Hepburn, which was also a drama rather than a comedy. Even though I haven't seen that movie yet I still am sure of it that that movie its theme worked out better, perhaps also because it was a '60's movie when interracial relationships obviously were still a bigger issue. Seriously, when I take a black girl or Asian or whatever home one of these my parents surely won't make a big issue out of it at all. So isn't this a movie a bit too outdated already with its theme and only relevant had it been made about 40 years ago? That is if the film-makers intentions were to take away the stereotypes and reluctances and intolerability of people towards interracial relationship but I have the idea that the film-makers simply dropped this idea and intentions and went for a simple full-blood comedy instead. I haven't seen Bernie Mac in an awful lot of movies, also since he started out pretty late white his acting career but so far I have always liked him in his comical roles. He plays it serious and sarcastic rather than over-the-top funny which makes him such a great and hilarious actor in my opinion. It's also mostly his movie in my opinion and Asthon Kutcher gets pushed more to the background by him, even though Ashton Kutcher surely ain't a bad actor either, no matter what other people always say about him.A comedy you can surely do without but when you decide to watch it you'll still be most likely lightly entertained by it.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Heres an idea for this kind of movie- instead of the guy who's about to meet his girlfriends parents being a spineless wimp who really wants to be accepted by his future in laws, how about a movie where the guy actually has enough courage to stand up for himself, and tell his future father in law that hes not gonna put up with stuff like being hooked up to a lie detector or sleeping in the same bed with him? Another question- how come none of the characters like Bernie Mac's from this movie have ever been accused of incest ? For most of this movie Simon Green is such a pushover that he really does not make a sympathetic character. Bernie Mac basically just plays the same arrogant character he always does.
