Guess Who is a 2005 American comedy film about race relations directed by Kevin Rodney Sullivan. It is a loose remake of the 1967 film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, in the form of a romantic comedy. While that film covered interracial romance (of an African-American man with a white woman) in a serious, dramatic fashion, this film covered the topic (of a white man with an African-American woman) in a light, farcical manner. The film stars Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher.
