I don't understand why they're calling this a remake. If anything it looks like more of a ripoff of "Meet the Parents" than "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" (though maybe I missed Kramer's hijinks-filled director's cut of "Dinner"), and I can't really believe there was any need to credit the original film.

I also can't believe it's for marketing purposes. After all, anyone who considers "Dinner" a good film is probably sharp enough to stay away from an Ashton Kutcher movie. So what's the point? Sometimes Hollywood confuses me.
