Excellent examination of the genuine and personal issues surrounding race relations in spite of people's ideological devotion to liberalism and equality. Strong performances by Hepburn, Tracy and Poitier in particular, with a brilliant closing monologue which tugged at the heartstrings in all the right ways. While its final message is clear and sentimental, I'd much rather this, with its historical contextual importance, than anything similar made recently.

Spencer Tracy pretty much wins this whole film. Well acted period drama that no doubt has some relevance today.

Gngh. Feels out of date and unnecessary today. The dramedy is awkward, and the soundtrack is awful. Although, seeing old man Tracy is fun.

A fine investigation of people with unwanted subconscious prejudices.

Classic.

Slow piece of white liberal indulgence. It probably looks a little better now than it did during The Summer of Love, but it is still slow. It's a shame this is Tracy's last film.

Despite the unrealistic dialogues, uneven script and outdated direction, "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" is an interesting and ultimately worthwile film due to the good cast, some funny bits and a few nice lines that epitomize its essence.

So the engaged couple has known each other for two weeks, he's 37 and she's 23, but the concern is that he's black and she's white. Totally reasonable. I loved this way more than I had expected to. The early racism is cringe-worthy but also somehow delightful. The later fragmentation of the group provides some really insightful analysis. In The Heat Of The Night and Guess Who's Coming To Dinner is an incredible one-two punch by Poitier. I highly recommend them both.

please when you rate this movie, mind the circumstances of usa at that time. not technically but morally, this movie is a hard, cold, scareless fist to the face. simply superb.

GWCTD's problem is that it's kind of a boring movie. It's a dialogue driven piece that lacks anything truly captivating to draw you in. Maybe in 1967 the interracial marriage aspect was shocking enough that it kept the movie going, but I don't think it's aged very well. A fine film and a piece history, but overall it's just alright.

Boring but the ending is meaningful

This is a difficult film for me to rate. It revolves around a conflict that is today almost nonsensical, and the entire film is a series of conversations about it, which (in my opinion) made it a very boring film. Much of Joanna's dialogue is forced and hopelessly naive, and I felt the movie ran far too long. The only parts of the film I truly enjoyed were the verbal smackdowns visited upon Helen and Dr. Prentice's father by Katharine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier, respectively.

One frequently sophomoric sentimental screenplay buoyed up by a glorious bow-out performance by the deservedly legendary screen team.

The film comes out and makes an uproar for having Sidney Poitier, who was critically acclaimed. Then the racist old white man gets nominated for Best Actor. Sucks to be black.
