What Parents Need to Know
About Guess Who
Parents need to know that this movie has some sexual humor, including jokes about masturbation, cross-dressing, and gays. A character asks "What's the sex like?" and there is some discussion of what white men's sex organs look like. There is humor about racism, including a list of racist terms for white people. A great deal is made of the fact that Simon and Percy share a bed (as a way of making sure that Simon and Theresa don't sleep together) and end up cuddling.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether any of them can remember a time when it was actually illegal in some states for people of different races to get married. They could read the Supreme Court decision that invalidated those laws as unconstitutional. It's shocking today to realize that the laws were in place until that decision was issued in 1967, the same year as the original Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. The very-apt name of the landmark case is Loving v. Virginia.
Families who see this movie could talk about the jokes Simon told. Which made fun of white people and which made fun of black people? They could also talk about their own family reactions to marriages that cross racial, religious, or other kinds of lines.

Lots of Sex Talk (not for kids)
I was quite disgusted with the dirty sex talk in this film, which included penis sizes and masturbation. I definately wouldn't let my kids watch this film. There were some humorous parts, and a good message about learning to see past racial differences, but the sexual inuendos just ruined it for me.

funny movie
it was a funny movie, ashton kutcher and bernie mac make a great team. Some parts kids under 13 shouldnt see like when he puts on her underwear, or some of the jokes. I didnt like the racial comments they had, they made ashton tell racial jokes and then got mad at him.

Ausome movie for 11 year olds and up! For boys and girls!
It is a great movie for 11 year olds. It is very funny. The jokes in it relate to old songs and old movies for instance it says the lyrics to a old B2K song. Aston Kutcher and Bernie Mac make a great team! GREAT MOVIE!

Almost Very Good
A decent flick that would have been better if a risk or two had been taken. My kids liked it. Both Ashton and Bernie are endearing. All in all, a likeable movie.
