Guess Who

Year: 2005

Grade: B-

Country: USA

Director: Sullivan

Review

clearly the film borrows quite a bit from meet the parents and guess who’s coming to dinner. but you don’t generally go to a film like this to watch something original. the chemistry between kutcher and mac is actually pretty good…something i never thought i’d say. it certainly has some weak moments in the writing and in the directing. when the sister comes home, for example, and sees kutcher for the first time we get a long shot of her reaction: “ooh, are we being audited or something?!” in the preview, though, we get a close up of her reaction, which works much better because the actress does a good job with it. errors of judgment like that and in some of the music choices and elsewhere do detract from the film. really, though, you have to expect those sorts of things considering the fact that it’s a weak genre film designed mostly to cater to a younger demographic. all things considered, i found it to be an enjoyable enough film with a few really funny moments. it’s hard to grade a film like this because it’s has to be judged on a different scale.
