Review of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
16 December 2010
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was another comedic film, that represented what the 60's were about. The film expanded the limits of script content. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner shows the relationship between different ethnicity's, similar to the movie Do The Right Thing; another great film of the 60's. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner feels a little fake at times, and often like it's filmed on a stage. The mother and father take on typical roles, the father is stubborn and careful with who his daughter marries, but her mother is more able to understand that her daughter is in love. The substance of the film shows that it is okay to be in an interracial couple. This was very controversial at the time, but films with this kind of controversy often become classic films, as this one did, and retain their popularity for decades.
