Biggest Swing

Sharp decline from the comedic NASCAR lie sequence to the formulaic romantic drama of the breakup, dropping 2.8 points

Guess Who starts strong with Bernie Mac's comedic performance as the racist father providing genuine laughs in the first act. However, the film loses steam significantly in the middle as the predictable romantic drama takes over and the lack of chemistry between the leads becomes apparent. While it recovers somewhat with the feel-good ending, most reviewers found it a mediocre, formulaic comedy that fails to live up to its premise or original source material.
