What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite the chemistry of its stars, Guess Who, a loose remake of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, lacks the political relevance of the original.

Utter rubbish. Terrible acting. An insult on the original.

A very forgettable movie. 4.1/10 See more Brian D @Brianwd2 Nov 13 46%. 11/12/25. Hadn't seen rating. Don't know why I liked this movie as a kid. As someone who likes Ashton Kutchar and his humor, I'm not sure I laughed at all during this film. Didn't bring out the best in him or Bernie, for whatever reason. Never rewatch since plot sucks and little to no comedy. 0/5 rewatch See more Belle P. @Belle.P Oct 16 I honestly hated the main female character. She was whiny and needed to grow up.
