| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderMac and Kutcher are the saving graces of what is otherwise a poorly written, misguided rehash of a movie. |
| San Antonio Express-NewsLarry RatliffI'm not ashamed to say that Ashton Kutcher made me laugh in Guess Who. OK, maybe I'm a little ashamed. But it was so unexpected I couldn't help myself. |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowThe movie's sweetness, wit and charm go beyond its can't-we-all-just-get-along premise. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Clifford[Guess Who uses the personal chemistry between Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher...to create an amusing little film that has the feel of an extended TV sitcom. |

| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. Smith'If there was any doubt that Bernie Mac is a movie star, "Guess Who" erases it.' |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThis is his (Kutcher) most relaxed and sensitive work on film. |
