I'm going to speak frankly.As a person who is by no means a leftist or a liberal, I found this film to be very moving. Most people who review the film I assume are liberals, so I guess I offer a different perspective. For me, this is a sad film. It is sad because the vision of America that the liberals Tracy and Hepburn's characters have here just did not pan out. The moment when Poitier's character says "you see yourself as a colored man, but I see myself as a man" shows just what sort of society these people imagined we would have, and it's tragic that history did not turn out that way. From the vantage point of 2017, race relations are worse than ever before. With SJWs, Affirmative Action, crime in the inner cities, anti-white racism, immigration problems etc, the vision that race would no longer matter just simply did not pan out. As whites today this film can only make us sad. It's tragic. I almost wish things did turn out that way, that race in America could have become a nonfactor and that none of the crazy problems we face today exist, but they do. And so viewing this film in retrospect, it seems so innocent and naive in a tragic way. Beautifully filmed with a San Francisco location and a lovely soundtrack, this is by all means a tremendous film, and I probably like it a little more than snotty liberals who probably can find this or that reason to view this film which to me seems progressive as "reactionary."

" . . . will your dead weight be off our backs!" Sidney Poitier pointedly challenges the Trumpster Cohort, with their Deplorably Racist "Birther" Lies which allowed Red Commie KGB Chief Vlad "The Mad Russian" Putin to Rig the 2016 Election in about 3,000 backwater U.S. Counties still stuck in the Stone Age emotionally. GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER closely parallels Barack Obama's Hawaiian Origins between a White Mom and a Black Daddy, with this exact combination of Romantic Setting and Breeding sure to produce a U.S. President, DINNER confidently (and accurately) predicts in so many words about 20 minutes into this movie. With one foot in the grave (he died before DINNER could be served to the American Public), Spencer Tracy forecasts that there will STILL be 100 million American Neanderthals Ruling the Roost in Our Homeland 50 years following his after DINNER speech. Obviously, Poitier is far too optimistic in his quote made at the top here. The Racist Confederate Traitor Descendants and their Fellow Traveler Ilk MUST either self-deport or be removed ASAP North to Canada for a Seven-Generation Cooling Off Period, AFTER surrendering ALL of their ill-gotten weapons, real estate, and other assets, the pool of which will be divvied up for Reparations and to settle the National Debt, for which they're 99% responsible.

I like Sidney Poitier and I think he is a great actor but the direction he got for this movie was the worst. The plot is simple stilted and contrived. Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn act like they are has been's. This is like a one scene high school stage play. Very boring. This is not a classic time enduring play. It was out dated when it was produced. The most famous scene where Sidney Poitier faces off dad, Spencer Tracy, is so over acted, dramatised that and staged it looses reality. Actually the worst Act in a three act high school play. Dumb and dumber. I could go on and on but the movie isn't worth it and the Screen Actors' Guild should be ashamed of the movie.

All I can say about this movie is that it is alright. Its well made and well acted throughout the movie and pretty entertaining. This movie is about a black man trying to marry a white woman. Because of this this movie has historical significance and a really meaningful meaning. This was an entertaining enough movie to recommend to others but it is nothing majorly special where I would tell someone that they have to go out and see it. I would also say its more of a one time watch because I don't think that it is worth watching more then once. Even though this is historically significant I still wouldn't say its something you need to go rush and see unless you're really into that kind of history.
