In 1967, the now-classic comedy Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?
broke new ground with its daring take on inter-racial relationships.
The film starred legendary Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn as
the white and affluent parents of a young woman who was bringing
her fiance, a black doctor (Sidney Poitier), to meet her parents
for the first time.

Fast forward to 2005, where a lousy remake called Guess Who?
has turned the tables. Here, a white financial consultant (played
by twinky Ashton Kutcher) goes to meet the African-American parents
(Bernie Mac and Judith Scott) of his fiancee (Zoe Saldana) and meets
similar resistance from his prospective in-laws.

That inter-racial relationships have become common these days is
one thing. That Guess Who? is contrived, yawn-inducing
and unfunny is another. The black Dad's fierce objections to the
impending marriage feel hopelessly fake — especially since
many products of inter-racial marriages from Alicia Keys to Beyonce
Knowles to Halle Berry are gracing magazine covers these days.

On top of that, there are plenty of cheap homophobic jokes that
we don't find particularly funny.
