Guess Who

Guess Who is a 2005 American comedy film directed by Kevin Rodney Sullivan. A loose remake of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, a 1967 film about a black man meeting the parents of his white fiancée. This film instead focuses on a white man meeting his black fiancée's parents. The film stars Bernie Mac, Ashton Kutcher, and Zoë Saldaña. The majority of the film was filmed in Cranford, New Jersey. Plot Theresa Jones takes her boyfriend, Simon Green, to her parents' home to meet them on their 25th wedding anniversary, planning to reveal that the couple are engaged. However, Theresa has neglected to mention that Simon is white. Theresa's father, Percy, dislikes Simon almost immediately not only because of his race, but also because he lies to him about being on the NASCAR pit crew for Jeff Gordon, not realizing that Percy is one of Gordon's biggest fans. Percy also happens to stumble on Simon jokingly wearing Theresa's lingerie while the couple is playing around in her childhood bedroom. None of this helps endear Simon to Percy. After catching Theresa and Simon in the bedroom, Percy tries to force Simon into a hotel, but all the hotels in town are booked. Instead, Percy allows Simon to sleep in his basement on the couch, where Percy also sleeps so he can keep an eye on him.
