eelyJun 25, 2015Yes, it plays like a Public Service Announcement for Middle America ca. 1967, but it is a beautifully acted Public Service Announcement. No, it hasn't dated that well, but when Tracy gives the speech at the end, and there's Katherine Hepburn looking on, eyes overflowing…

Spoiler: They never actually eat dinner in this film.
DanielleFeb 20, 2017Both times someone said "guess who's coming to dinner" the answer was NOt Sidney Poitier. What an absolute plot twist.
KYKJan 7, 2024No joke, the buildup to Katharine Hepburn seeing Sidney Poitier for the first time is the most stressed out I’ve been watching a movie in like a year

just thought i'd share some information i've learnt because the heartbreaking fact that tracy was dying during filming makes this classic, particularly the ending speech, even more memorable. since they knew how ill tracy was, they wrote two scripts for the film, one with…
GemmaAug 9, 2020To deny the cozy, gratifying, and refreshing aura of this film seems fairly dismissive. '60s cinema has a distinct studio system color palette that both sets it apart from other eras of filmmaking and hooks the viewer in with its sense of warmth and amiability. “Guess…

this has aged somewhat poorly in a lot of respects but bigoted old asshats putting up a veneer of liberalism will probably never not be relevant
Samantha Stone likedGuess Who's Coming to DinnerVery much an “of its time” film, but that’s a good thing in this instance. It highlights how far we’ve come while also reminding us of some issues that we see time and time again. For a lot of people, it’s easy to be open-minded in theory, but the true test of character is how you act when it…
Loren dislikedGuess Who's Coming to DinnerBruh this was buns and such a bad storyline. Totally get the interracial relationship was not heard of at this time and respect the movie taking a positive stance on it, but it’s so unrealistic with how fast they started dating and acting was not good 💀💀💀
- Sixten Hultqvist lovedGuess Who's Coming to Dinner
Väldigt bra, väldigt mysig. Asbra skådisar, Sidney Poitier, Katharine Houghton, Katharine Hepburn och alla andra. Bra manus, rolig ofta och seriös när den ska vara det. Har åldrats förvånansvärt bra. 4/5 ⭐️
Platypus Lord likedGuess Who's Coming to Dinner👍👍 Great story! The performances are peak (My first Poitier and K. Hepburn movie). I always laugh in hindsight about the ice cream scene being in this movie.
Mary likedGuess Who's Coming to DinnerI liked the story, but it seemed kinda slow during certain scenes and I was ready for it to be over. I think it’s a lot longer than it needs to be.

Important dialogue on love and racism. Poitier, Hepburn and Houghton play well. Tracy ends with a fantastic monologue and transformation.

It would be easy to tear the plot to shreds and catch Kramer in the act of copping out. But why? On its own terms, this film is a joy to see, an evening of superb entertainment.

A most delightfully acted and gracefully entertaining film, fashioned much in the manner of a stage drawing-room comedy, that seems to be about something much more serious and challenging than it actually is.
