Guess Who
In this updated version of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?", Percy Jones (Bernie Mac) is taking no chances with his daughter Theresa’s (Zoë Saldaña) future. Even before he meets Simon Green, her latest boyfriend, Percy has him checked out. On paper, he passes with flying colors -- great job, good investments and a promising future. Not like the other losers she's dated in the past.
But there’s one thing the credit report didn't tell him. Simon Green (Ashton Kutcher) is white. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Unless, of course, Simon wants to marry his daughter.
Which he does.

This movie was basically "Meet the Parents" but with a racial undertone that was the basis for all of the jokes. It took into account many stereotypes associated with both colours.
It was funny in parts, but the ending was predictable and while each actor tries their best, it is hard to carry this movie on racist stereotypes.Funny...but.... - Quadcats
Well worth the rent. We did laugh throughout this flick. Not one to own though.
To sum this movie up simply it is the racially charged version of "Meet the Parents". Very similar crossovers between the two movies. Both good in their own right though.
The characters were all well played and enjoyable to watch. Definitely a good movie to put in and have a few laughs too.
A good zip rental.Pretty Funny.. - tallen
Bernie Mac is definitely the man in this movie. His jokes, his facial expressions and his actions will be what definitely grabs your attention. Bernie Mac's daugther finally introduces her white boyfriend to her over protective dad who has a hard time accepting the fact that his future son in law may be a white man. Of course there are many stereotypes in the movie but this expressions in the movie are what we deal with in everyday life. I like the fact that the movie wasn't dumb funny but proper funny and this movie I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a good laugh.
