This movie doesn't look like a complete and total ripoff of Meet the Parents.

Actually, Guess Who is a "remake" of the 1967 film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? (More of a "re-invention" since this will be more comedic than the original...)

The original had Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn as parents whose attitudes are challenged when their daughter begins dating a black man, played by Sidney Poitier.

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. :thumbup:

This new version will have Ashton Kutcher playing a man marrying a black woman whose father (Bernie Mac) is having difficulty coming to terms with the marriage.

Just saw it, and I thought it was incredibly funny. Reminded me of Meet the Parents, but I found myself laughing for most of this movie. :thumbup:

I recently watched this. I was expecting it to be garbage, so I was pleasantly surprised that is was mildly funny.

Ashton Kutcher refused to take off his Kabbalah bracelet during shooting, $100,000 was spent to edit the bracelet out, however, in some shots, particularly the breakfast scene, it can clearly be seen.

What's the deal with that?
