Critics Reviews Average Grade:   B-
Source Brief Review Grade*
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie
"...Guess Who isn't very smart and it isn't very funny. In fact, it isn't much of anything." more... D  
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
"...glib in the same way that Meet the Parents was." more... B-
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"...if the movie had spent more time walking that tightrope between the acceptable and the offensive, between what we have in common and what divides us, it would have been more daring." more... B  
Chicago Tribune
Allison Benedikt
"Kutcher is no Jackie Mason. Nor is he leading-man material." more... C+
E! Online "...if you don't come looking for social commentary in this watered-down modernization, you might still leave with a smile on your face." more... B+
Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
"...a certified crowd-tickler..." more... A  
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
"It's the audience that gets punk'd in this crass and sloppy comic recycling of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner..." more... C  
New York Times
A.O. Scott
"...mild and thin..." more... C-
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"...a fairly typical, unremarkable comedy that is worth seeing primarily for the performances of Mac and Saldana." more... B-
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
"Guess what? It's almost bearable." more... C+
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"...all in fun and succeeds on its own terms." more... B  
Seattle Post-Intelligencer

USA Today
Claudia Puig
"...just a succession of tired race jokes made worse by the bad comedic timing of the bland, under-talented Ashton Kutcher." more... C
