Guess Who's Coming Reaction

 In Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, John Prentice falls in love with Joey Drayton. This movie is about a black man who falls in love with a white woman before interracial marriages were accepted. 

My reaction to this movie was that the reactions were expected from the parents. In this time period, there were interracial marriages, but it was not widely accepted by society yet. Joey Drayton brings John Prentice back to her house without parents notice, and her parents were extremely shocked. The mother was hesitant at first, but she ended up accepting their relationship. The dad was not at all happy with their relationship. 

Over the period of the movie, John Prentice and Joey Drayton move extremely fast in their relationship. They had been together for 11 days and planned to get married already. It was love at first sight, but society would be hesitant to accept them.

I really enjoyed the ending to this movie. John Prentice's parents fly into town for dinner quickly after some calls on the phone. Once again, the mother is hesitant, but the father is completely against it. Both of the mothers ended up convincing the fathers to accept that they are in love and are ready to take on the difficulties of being married to each other. In the last scene, Mr. Drayton walks in to reject the marriage and end everything. Instead, it takes a turn in events. Mr. Drayton accepts John and Joey's relationship and everyone is happy.
