I agree with just about everything you said. But in fairness to this movie, it really was an edgier topic at that time than Brokeback mountain is for this time. I think both movies have their merits but I love that Guess who's coming to diner was able to be so well rounded. It was after all a terrific comedy and yet such a cutting and broad sweeping comentary of the times. the performances were superb. i really felt for all the characters. It was also such a smart movie and they avoided so many obvious trappings of stereotypes and cliches. While i respect Brokeback mountain I wish it had more. There was a certain sameness to it from start to finish. I really love movies that run the gamut of human emotions. Guess who's coming to diner gushes with personality. A wonderful movie.
