The director's reason for making the film? "I have a 12-and-a-half-year-old daughter who's beautiful, and I'm sure she's going to come home one day with some Lithuanian, Samoan, punk-rock drummer dude, and I thought if I did this movie I'd be able to work out my issues before that day comes."
The movie bears a strong resemblance, even taking its title from the title of the 1967 "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner". In the original, young white girl (Katharine Houghton) brings a black man (Sidney Poitier) home to meet her parents.
At an estimated cost of $100,000, digital effects were used to remove Ashton Kutcher's red Kaballah bracelet in every scene in which he appeared.
