The main reason why I enjoyed this movie when I watched it nearly 8 years ago was probably the fact that I had no idea back then of the existence of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner and hence I hadn't watched it yet. Good for the makers of Guess Who that apparently they didn't even conceive the idea of making this remake also a drama (it would have been a pathetic mess), and instead they opted for making a lighthearted romantic comedy that, though downright predictable and silly, is actually hilarious in some parts, mainly due to the charisma of the late Bernie Mac.

When I first saw this, I never heard of Guess Who's Coming To Dinner nor that this was a remake of the film. Without knowing that, I enjoyed this the first time around but after seeing Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, this is a bit more mediocre with each viewing. I guess it's a guilty pleasure for me since I like the chemistry between the whole cast, especially amongst the leads. This film ignores the serious drama of the original and goes for straight up comedy, which is for the best. Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac (at the time at least) were much better comedians than actors and this uses their talents for full potential. The script, though lacks the wit and originality of the original, has some very funny moments and I give it credit for switching races instead of being a shot for shot remake. Like the original, this is still a entertaining film, for me at least.
