Guess Who

An implausible, wildly protracted setup that drags on forever before reaching a payoff that barely registers.

Mildly amusing.

To say it’s better than it has any right to be gives the original too much credit and the remake not enough.

So mild and thin that it doesn’t inspire much of a reaction at all. With one exception - a dinner table scene that is by far the most me...

Guess who sings tired old tune.

A disappointing retread of a bunch of better movies.

Just doesn’t have the same zing.

If Guess Who were either a whole lot funnier, or a whole lot less funny, it would be a far better film.

If only as much thought went into the script for this listless comedy as its marketing calculus.

By film’s end, you realize you’ve sat through an effective rip-off of «Meet the Parents.»

It’s the audience that gets punk’d in this crass and sloppy comic recycling.

The makers of Guess Who appear to have given more thought to targeting an audience than building a believable movie.

Guess Who, with its PG-13 putdowns, turns into the kind of love story that Hollywood feels most comfortable with: a buddy movie, salt-and-pepp...

Despite the sluggish opening, Kutcher and Bernie Mac ensure that this predictably plotted comedy of preposterous misunderstandings is occasionally...

The verdict? Could have been worse. Yes, it’s a slightly hollow endorsement, but Guess Who is probably worth your matinee/pub-theater do...

A pleasant but tepid comedy.

A succession of tired race jokes made worse by the bad comedic timing of the bland, under-talented Ashton Kutcher.

The movie will please those looking for easy physical comedy.

Director Kevin Rodney Sullivan milks the film’s one joke for all it’s worth – which isn’t much – before settling into t...

Guess what? It’s almost bearable.

Might provide a much-needed fix for Mac’s most ardent fans, but they’ll have to wait for a star vehicle that fully exploits t...

It has its share of eye-rolling moments, but at its heart there’s a decent story.

The super-duper whiteness of Ashton Kutcher is funny. Just not funny enough.

A palatable film. It offers a few solid laughs and will provoke some smiles.
