Guess
10/06: Despite the indications that it's a family movie, Guess Who is littered with many profane words and graphic conversations about sex.

It has numerous subplots, leaving me feeling incomplete. Also, the characters are not fully developed. Thus, I'm not clear as to what Simon does for a living or why he quit his job. There's no follow-up of the situation between Jamal and Simon.

A lot of time has been wasted in dealing with race before everybody gives up on it. Thereafter, the movie is better which has comedic elements, but they're never laugh-out funny.

All in all, Guess Who has neither the originality nor the creativity of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, hence the truncated title.
