Touches You

Fantastic!

Admirable film.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Kutcher plays a merchant banker taken by his African-American fiancé to meet the parents ahead of their engagement announcement only to discover that her parents are unaware that he is white. Bernie Mac is the intimidating but essentially well-meaning father who initially discredits Kutcher for his lack of sporting prowess but gradually builds a mutual respect for his noble morality in spite of several embarrassing indiscretions.Inept picture is conceived on the basis of a one-joke premise that starts poorly and never recovers. This misfiring remake of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" borrows more than a little from "Meet the Parents" in its attempt to blend interracial social commentary with sentimental romance. Kutcher doesn't register on the laugh-ometer (he never recovers from the elevator scene, an absolute howler), and Mac makes maximum mileage out of his piercing glare and bulky frame, but it's a gag that quickly runs thin.The situations are contrived (the cross-dressing, sex act gag is a prime example of the weak set-ups) and most of the jokes fail at the punchline. Hal Williams as Mac's cantankerous father is perhaps the funniest aspect of this film, and the scene in which Kutcher digs his proverbial grave at the dinner table is for the most part very amusing, but it's a brief respite from the disappointment. If "Ebony & Ivory" soundtrack gags still pass for humour, then I recant - otherwise, this remake should be retrospectively aborted.

Heres an idea for this kind of movie- instead of the guy who's about to meet his girlfriends parents being a spineless wimp who really wants to be accepted by his future in laws, how about a movie where the guy actually has enough courage to stand up for himself, and tell his future father in law that hes not gonna put up with stuff like being hooked up to a lie detector or sleeping in the same bed with him? Another question- how come none of the characters like Bernie Mac's from this movie have ever been accused of incest ? For most of this movie Simon Green is such a pushover that he really does not make a sympathetic character. Bernie Mac basically just plays the same arrogant character he always does.

I have seen recently on television the film Guess Who and immediately I thought this is a remake of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner so I checked on the internet and I was right it is a remake of that great classic film which had a great cast. How can you replace Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Sidney Pontier these are great actors that are irreplaceable what is wrong with Hollywood can't they make anything new anymore why do they try to remake great classics you just can't remake these films today as the acting today is not that good and the overall production is not of the standard of the Golden Age of Films. I do not know how these remakes get finance to make them because they are not as good or better than the old classic's. Please Hollywood stop trying to remake the past.

Theresa (Zoe Saldana) is becoming very close to her boyfriend, Simon (Ashton Kutcher). They live in Manhattan, where Simon is a rising businessman, and an engagement between the two of them may be forthcoming. However, Simon has never met Theresa's folks. But, an introduction is about to occur, as Theresa is taking Simon home for the weekend, where her parents are hosting a big party to celebrate their anniversary. There is one small glitch. Simon is a Caucasian and Theresa is an African-American and the young woman's parents have not been told about this detail. Needless to say, Theresa's father, Percy (Bernie Mac), mother and sister are surprised to meet Simon face to face. As such, Percy has his misgivings and insists that the young couple can not occupy the same room. In addition to that, after Simon is installed in the basement bedroom, Percy makes it clear that he will sleep WITH Simon to make certain that there is no midnight rendez-vous. Oh, boy! In truth, everyone is so stressed about the party arrangements and the family's reactions to Simon that the celebration almost gets cancelled. Will everyone learn to love one another? This is a slight but very sweet film, loosely based on the classic Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. It's sad that, almost 40 years later, the film's premise is still relevant but it is. To the writers' credit, the movie does not shy away from truth and meaning, although the plot is somewhat thin. But, it is the film's cast that is the movie's greatest asset. Mac is a very humorous and likable star and so is Kutcher. Get those two together and you have a dynamic duo of comedy, helping to overcome any of the movie's weaker elements. The rest of the players, including Saldana, are also very worthy. As for the film's costumes, sets, and production values, they are quite nice indeed. If you love romantic comedies or are fans of Mac or Kutcher, get yourself a copy of this one. It's this viewer's guess that you will be very pleased with the final result.
