This is kind of a remake from the 1967 picture "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," starring Sidney Poitier and Spencer Tracy. However, this time around, the skin pigments have changed and some comedy has been added…kind of.

"Guess Who?" stars Ashton Kutcher (TV's That 70's Show) and Bernie Mac (Mr. 3000) as the father and soon-to-be-son-in-law. Simon (Kutcher), a stock broker who quits his job suddenly, and Theresa, portrayed by Zoe Saldana (Center Stage), are going to her parents' second marriage where they intend to announced their engagement. However, Theresa hasn't told her parents Simon is a white boy.

Once there, Theresa's father Percy (Mac) does everything he can to make Simon look bad in the eyes of Theresa, and get under Simon's skin. Eventually, both men screw up with their respective females and have to rely on each other to come out of it clean.

Kutcher does ample in yet another silly comedic role. However, as he himself has stated in talk shows promoting "Guess Who?," he is NOT Sidney Poitier. Mac was everything the producers and director hired him for; sharp-tongued delivery of funny lines and a BUNCH of attitude.

However, this new version, penned by three different screenwriters, seemed to take way too long finding its new legs. The picture didn't actually become funny until half way through the second act. Act Three is also filled with quite a few warm moments with plenty to say about couples from different backgrounds.

The picture also has a handful of very strong scenes, like a dinner table scene where Percy continues to pressure Simon into sharing every "black" joke he knows, until he finally offends everyone, looking the racist fool. The scene was completely embarrassing and hit pretty hard.

For the most part, I wasn't impressed with this new rendition of the 1967 notorious classic. However, back then, a picture like "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" was needed socially, whereas this one was only created to make a high concept comedy and not a major social statement.

You may like "Guess Who?" You may not. I laughed a few times, but overall, I didn't jump up screaming "Encore!"

My biggest problem with this movie was Bernie Mac. I fell he played the character of the over-protective father to hard. Mac was supposed to play a sarcastic father who wasn't happy with his daughter being in love with a white man. He should have played this with a hint of humor and playfulness. Instead Mac plays it with a vindictiveness that makes his character appear to be a racist against white people. Because of his choice of playing his character this way, the first hour of the movie is very boring and un-funny.

Kutcher was quite enjoyable and had nailed his character correctly. His attempts to make the family happy were constantly a struggle between being very funny and very painful. There were times when you felt sorry for his character and you could see that the father was setting him up to be the bad guy. He kept the movie going in the first painful hour and I was surprised at his acting ability. Before I have never been a fan of his movies and did not like his TV show, "That 70's show." But, for know I will continue to see his movies.

The screenwriters, David Ronn, Jay Scherick, and Peter Tolan, redeemed themselves by adding the knee-football scene in the movie. Every guy who has played sports has played knee-football in the living room of their parent's house. Great call to add this to their movie. But beyond that, I don't know if these guys knew whether or not they were writing a comedy, dramedy, or drama. There are times that the movie is funny, but because Mac's character Percy was so vindictive and mean, a lot of the time there were moments of awkwardness that made me, the audience member, feel uncomfortable. This movie is on par with the other movies these three have done. I wish they would have chosen a way to go with this movie and stuck with instead of going back and forth.

Overall the movie is very ho-hum. I wish Bernie Mac would have played his character like Cedrick the Entertainer had played his character in the movie "Be Cool." That would have been funnier and believable and have made the movie more enjoyable. Kutcher redeems this movie, only barely, and if there is nothing else you want to see, go ahead and see it, but don't expect much.
