You People sounds preachy, doesn’t it? Trust me, it’s not. What it really is is a master class on wedge issues and our shared humanity, delivered by comedians who know that laughter can be at once a bitter pill and the best medicine. Read full review

It’s a film that fits perfectly within the confines of a romantic comedy even while it swaps out every familiar element and explores brand-new dimensions in the process. Read full review

The movie is much better when it relaxes its death grip on screenwriter-y punchlines and slapstick cringe and just allows its cavalcade of stars to act like actual, you know, people. Read full review

Right up until an ending straight out of a mediocre rom-com from the early 2000s, You People never feels like more than a series of stitched-together scenes making some legitimate but obvious points about racial differences. Read full review

With a smooth overlay of LA sights and sounds, and a side of blueprints stolen from “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” and “Meet the Fockers,” “You People” ends up a lot less insightfully funny than “Black-ish.” Read full review

The first third of the picture is promising, if frequently excruciating. But the points are painfully laboured and the jokes run out of steam. Read full review

The truth is, “You People” is too confused to be offensive — too inconsequential to merit that level of engagement. But it’s certainly disappointing, virtually from its opening minutes. Read full review

The movie was very interesting to say the least it added very cultural clarity upon what interracial relationships are facing and what most are afraid of speaking upon. I absolutely enjoyed the movie really loved it.

Really enjoyed this. Genuine chemistry between Jonah Hill and Lauren London. Evie Murphy was awesome in a straight role as the dad. It also has a great message on love and letting go of the race bs.

Was expecting more comedy considering all the talented comedic actors in this movie, but the themes and predictible story got old fast. And that's coming from a Liberal Democrat! (If you didn't vote for Joe, you will probably hate this movie instead of just finding it mediocre.)

Could not take the racism(s) of this movie. Jonah Hill, the writer, disguises his insulting and racist writing with the veils of comedy and multiculturalism. The comedy is exploitative and not original. With this and Fauda, Netflix is in bed with racism.

Nothing but another racial/political/gender brainwashing attempt hidden in a poorly written and directed movie. There was definitely potential here, considering the cast, but they chose to spew out garbage instead of reviving their careers with a good movie.

You would struggle finding another movie released in the past 100 years that took as harsh a stand against interracial relationships as this one. Unfortunately that's not even the worst part of it. The film spends much of its time blaming Jewish people for the struggles of black America.You would struggle finding another movie released in the past 100 years that took as harsh a stand against interracial relationships as this one. Unfortunately that's not even the worst part of it. The film spends much of its time blaming Jewish people for the struggles of black America. Their accomplishments are written off as products of nepotism and the Holocaust is ridiculed. The creators could make jokes about genocide, but luckily one item was off limits, hair. The whole thing was unfunny and difficult to watch. Honestly, I wouldn't want to meet the person who could like this movie.… Expand

I couldn’t get through it.

First 10 minutes wasn’t too bad until it became a horribly cringe, race obsessed bore fest.

Got sick of it within 30 minutes, race baiting, anti-white rubbish.
