Guess Who (2005) 5/10

Starring : Bernie Mac, Ashton Kutcher, Zoe Saldana, Judith Scott
Director : Kevin Rodney Sullivan
Running Time : 106 mins

When Percy Jones (Mac) discovers that his daughter Theresa (Saldana) is dating a white guy, Simon Green (Kutcher), all of his racist instincts rise to the surface and he takes an instant disliking to the guy. In his eyes no man is suitable for his daughter, and definitely no white man.

This had its moments, but generally it just didn’t work as well as I’d hoped, mainly because it annoys me that racism towards white people seems to be acceptable in the modern age. It was a nice touch that Mac couldn’t dance and he had to be taught by Kutcher, when white people are generally considered to have no rhythm, but there just wasn’t enough good humour to make this bearable for almost two hours. Skip it unless you’re a huge fan of Mac or Kutcher.
