(1 - 37) of 37 OFCS Rating: 47% Rotten Page   1   "Messing with a classic movie can be dangerous business, which is probably one of the reasons why 'Guess Who' achieves only a modicum of success."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 3.5/5 "the radiant chemistry between Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher keeps the movie afloat"   Filmcritic.com   Blake French 1/5 "The absolute lack of cultural identity on the part of any of the characters -- black or white -- is what left me with a bad aftertaste."   Freeze Dried Movies   Brian Juergens C "Can a film feature Ashton Kutcher parading around in women’s lingerie and a teary-eyed Zoe Saldana recalling her interracial dating struggles and still be taken seriously?"   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Theresa schools Simon: "Telling black jokes is never a good idea.""   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2/4 "Mac comes close to single-handedly saving 'Guess Who' from its own clichés."   Kansas City Star   Dan Lybarger 1/5 "A rule: any time you see the movie’s stars racing in go-karts, it’s because the script ran out of funny things to do."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "...it's the ingratiating performances that keep Guess Who at a level of pleasant diversion, despite an overlong running time..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2.5/4 "When so few comedies these days are actually funny, Guess Who is an entertaining and diverting way to spend 105 minutes for audiences starved for laughs."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C+ "Mac and Kutcher are the saving graces of what is otherwise a poorly written, misguided rehash of a movie."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C+ "It's funny enough, and surprisingly well-written in individual scenes, but why, in the end, does it strive for so little?"   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "[The] interracial intimacy is so lightweight, dismissive, and flat that this toothless comedy loses its edginess...turns into another arbitrary salt-and-pepper buddy romp"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B- "No classic, but Mac and Kutcher prove a surprisingly winning team, and considering today's comedies, you could do a lot worse."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "It offers a few solid laughs and will provoke some smiles, but there's too much of a tendency to go for obvious, largely unfunny humor when something more subtle would have satisfied."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "its treatment of race resides comfortably at the sitcom level, where it's safe to laugh about difference and then console ourselves with eventual inclusiveness"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/5 "Modernized take on a classic has a few laughs -- and, more importantly, a heart in the right place."   Netflix   James Rocchi 7/10 "Light on its feet while being sly about how it dances around the social issue at hand."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 7/10 "...I found myself laughing pretty consistently the whole way through..."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo "Every subtle moment becomes a platform for something even more outrageous, forcing us to abandon all hope that Guess Who will be anything more than another obnoxious comedy."   Light Views   John Larsen 3/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3.5/5 "Rather than being like Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, this is more like Meet the Parents, and the Parents are Black."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C+ "Balance out the few highs and many, scatological lows of "Meet the Parents" and you've got "Guess Who," a movie whose mild brand of comedy is floated by an enjoyable ensemble."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford C+ "While Guess Who gets some mileage out of its black and white issues, it’s more focused on being the interracial romantic comedy answer to Meet the Parents."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 3/4 "I don’t think Guess Who is a very good movie about its subject...but it works pretty well as a piece of light entertainment."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- "No one does choleric better than Bernie Mac and it is always fun to see him get steamed."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "Forgoes its predecessor’s moralizing in favor of Meet the Parents-style conflict."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "A respectable enough comedy."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3/5 "If you never even begin to compare this film to the classic that inspired it ... then it's a perfectly enjoyable bit of fluffy farce."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 2/5 "Here's a comedy premised on racial unease, and it's too timid to uncork actual racial humor."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C "In the first place, the film doesn't aim high enough. In the second place, it falls short of that unambitious goal."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C+ "[Guess Who uses the personal chemistry between Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher...to create an amusing little film that has the feel of an extended TV sitcom."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3/4 "The film does pop off some huge belly laughs before the formula gets the better of it."   Charlotte Weekly   Sean O'Connell "The timing of nearly every gag is just half a beat off, and that half-beat is a killer."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 6/10 "A bland, awkward, occasionally amusing comedy"   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 3/4 "Surpasses expectation."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 6/10 Read review   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel Read review   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel  (1 - 37) of 37 OFCS Rating: 47% Rotten Page   1
