You People ends with a romantic moment between leads Jonah Hill and Lauren London, but one member of the Netflix movie’s team claims it was never actually filmed.
During a conversation on the latest episode of podcast The Brilliant Idiots, co-hosts Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz discussed director Kenya Barris’ film, which centers on interracial couple Ezra Cohen (Hill) and Amira Mohammed (London) dealing with their families’ complicated reactions to the relationship. Schulz plays Ezra’s cousin Avi in You People, which was released last month and also stars Eddie Murphy, Nia Long, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny.
After podcast guest Nyla Symone mentioned agreeing with recent social media commentary suggesting that Hill and London don’t make a believable couple, Schulz stated that the stars never actually filmed Ezra and Amira’s wedding-altar kiss, which takes place about a minute before the end credits start rolling. According to Schulz,...

Netflix’s You People hasn’t garnered the strongest reviews overall, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t discussion going on surrounding the rom-com. The focus of the conversation surrounds a kiss between stars Jonah Hill and Lauren London…or should we say alleged kiss, as You People appears to have digitally manipulated it to only make it appear that Hill and London smooched.
According to You People supporter Andrew Schulz, the kiss between Hill and London at the end of the movie wasn’t real at all, but computer-generated. “The final scene, they don’t even kiss. It’s CGI! Swear to God.” Schulz recalled the filming of the scene. “I’m there, I’m watching the wedding and I see them go in for the first and their faces stop like this far,” he said, gesturing his hands less than a foot apart. “And I’m like,...

A new couple and their families reckon with modern love amid culture clashes, societal expectations and generational differences.
Well, folks, it seems as if we’ve finally reached the mediocre corner of January in the form of Kenya Barris‘ You People, a buddy comedy that fails to deliver the laughs for the most part, and instead, feels like an over-extended commercial for tourism in Los Angeles.
Seriously – the way nearly every scene transitions is insanely hilarious in all the wrong ways. We watch a flashy edit reel of various different spots in the city and it’s genuinely crazy to think about the fact that nobody at the studio wanted to change that up even a little bit. That got incredibly annoying incredibly quickly.

Plot: A new couple and their families find themselves examining modern love and family dynamics amidst clashing cultures, societal expectations and generational differences in this comedy from Kenya Barris.
Review: Last year, Kenya Barris wrote Disney’s remake of Cheaper By The Dozen, updating the family dynamic to be a multi-ethnic brood including stepchildren and half-siblings. The comedy didn’t strike quite the same chord as Barris’ successful sitcom black-ish, but it did showcase the changing look of what 21st-century families look like. Now, Barris’ feature directorial debut, You People, takes a more mature look at race and anti-semitism from a humorous vantage. With Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy taking top-billing, You People is a sweetly funny update of Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner? for the next generation, even though it is not a direct remake of that classic film. Full of comedy and genuine romance, You People works well...

There’s an alternate timeline where You People, the feature directorial debut of Kenya Barris (black-ish), is the next great romantic comedy. There’s another version where it’s a biting satire that delves into the strain parents can inflict on their grown children. There’s an even more distant option, where it’s a sharp critique on race relations that both entertains and tackles the hard truths around cancel culture, privilege and faith. While the film clearly wants to be all of those options, it ends up buckling under...

Many celebrities got their start on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. Some may not remember, but both Eddie Murphy and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss were once cast members on the late-night comedy skit show. The two now star together in the Netflix movie You People.
The last time Murphy and Louis-Dreyfuss were seen on-screen together was in 1984, during Murphy’s final season on SNL.
What is ‘You People’?
You People is a romantic comedy released on Netflix January 27, 2023.
The film is directed by Kenya Barris (creator of Black-ish), who is also a co-writer along with Jonah Hill.
Hill also stars as Ezra Cohen, a Jewish guy who falls in love with the woman of his dreams, Amira Mohammad (played by Lauren London), who happens to be black. The couple become engaged, and cultures clash when they meet each other’s families.

“You People,” Kenya Barris’ feature directorial debut for Netflix, is laden with good intentions: Collaborating with Jonah Hill as a co-writer and star for this new comedy makes sense when one considers that both men are Los Angeles natives celebrated for their comedic flair and also devotees of hip-hop culture. Add to that the reunion of co-stars Eddie Murphy and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, both comic giants who came up together on “SNL” in the 1980s, and expectations run high.
But good intentions aren’t enough to float what is essentially a hip-hop–tinged, LA-centric comedic update of “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner.” It’s a concept that has seen a few iterations over the years — most notably 2005’s “Guess Who,” starring Bernie Mac, Ashton Kutcher, and Zoe Saldana — and “You People” also draws some inspiration from “Meet The Parents,” with faith-based differences providing most of the tension.

We are now nearly sixty years removed from the culture-clash drama "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner," in which the interracial romance between a Black man and a white woman comes under the microscope primarily courtesy of the white woman's parents. But the potential tensions of an interracial romance haven't dissipated too much in the 2020s — if the new Netflix film "You People" is any indication, the tensions have only increased. Though "You People" goes beyond the "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner"-style setup fairly quickly, it's also intended to explore whether or not interracial romances can work now, especially if the parents of those involved are able to get over their own stereotypes and biases. Parts of "You People" inspire big laughs, but parts of it fall flat and/or end up feeling a bit like a mixed-media lecture.

Sitcom mastermind Kenya Barris knows his way around the witty rat-a-tat, as a writer and an occasional director. At the helm of his first feature, the Black-ish creator choreographs a who’s who of comic talent and lets them shine — key among them Eddie Murphy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jonah Hill, who shares screenwriting credit with Barris. In their L.A. story, the 35-year-old son of affluent white Jews and the daughter of affluent Black Muslims fall in love. Let the comedy of discomfort begin.
You People revels in tipping sacred cows (the Holocaust, slavery, liberals, Black Lives Matter), and yet it fits quite comfortably within a time-tested rom-com formula. The Netflix comedy, receiving a limited theatrical release a week before its Jan. 27 streaming debut, abounds with well-etched characters, a good number of them lovably annoying or just plain ridiculous. It comes on like gangbusters and keeps generating belly laughs well past the halfway point,...

Netflix’s list of films premiering on the streaming service in 2023 isn’t nearly as long as their ambitious 2022 film slate. Yet even with a slimmed-down slate, the lineup of movies arriving this year is impressive and checks off nearly every genre.
The streamer will be dipping back into familiar territory with sequels to Murder Mystery and Extraction. Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon, Sam Esmail’s Leave the World Behind, and David Yates’ The Pain Hustlers will premiere this year, as will the film continuation of Luther starring Idris Elba. And two romantic comedies with big-name casts made their way into the lineup: Your Place or Mine (Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon) and A Family Affair.
Netflix’s announcement of their 2023 film slate was accompanied by a trailer showcasing 16 titles including You People, The Mother, Heart of Stone, The Killer, and Leo.

Following on from the teaser, which landed last month, we now have the full trailer for Jonah Hill/Kenya Barris comedy You People, in which Hill's character is looking to marry Eddie Murphy's character's daughter and… well, let's just say there's a family culture clash brewing. Have a look…
The story kicks off when Ezra Cohen (Hill) accidentally gets into Amira Mohammed’s (Lauren London) car one day, mistakenly convinced that she’s his ride-share.
Once she’s gotten over the shock and accepts his offer of a date, the two quickly bond over a shared love of sneakers and music. Soon, it’s clear that they’ve finally found that special someone.

Whether you go into the trailer without knowing a thing about it or simply listen to it with your eyes closed, it won't be hard to figure out whose mind is behind Netflix's upcoming original film, "You People." Kenya Barris' fingerprints are all over this project, which fits in neatly with the rest of his resume. Not unlike "Black-ish," "Grown-ish," "Mixed-ish," "BlackAF," and 2022's "Cheaper By The Dozen," Barris' directorial feature debut will explore the struggles of family dynamics and clashing cultures via a modern-day multiracial relationship. This time, the drama is shared between two different families on the verge of becoming one.
When Ezra Cohen (Jonah Hill) and Amira Mohammed (Lauren London) fall in love, they have no choice but to introduce their families and pray that nothing goes terribly wrong. But where's the fun in things going well? The tagline of "You People" speaks for itself: "Opposites attract,...

Netflix has dropped the full trailer for You People, its upcoming Kenya Barris comedy starring and co-written by Jonah Hill.
The three-minute teaser for Barris’ directorial debut delivers a fuller look at Hill’s character, Ezra Cohen, and his effort to find love, and more specifically, woo Lauren London’s Amira Mohammed in Los Angeles. At the top of the trailer, Ezra reveals to his friend (played by Sam Jay) his desperation to find partnership amid feeling “alone, on a building, dangling my legs off wondering what it’s like to feel companionship.”
“I don’t think I’ve heard of a man ever who wanted to be in a relationship so badly besides Drake,” says Jay.
Enter Amira, who — following an airport rideshare mix-up in which Ezra mistakes her for his actual Uber driver — causes Hill’s character to reveal that he’s “never felt so understood by somebody in my entire life.

Co-written and produced by Barris and Hill, the film follows a new couple, Ezra Cohen and Amira Mohammed, played by Hill and London respectively, who meet after he accidentally gets into her car. While initially shocked by his request for a date, the two quickly bond and consider taking their relationship to a more serious level.
But to do that, they’ll have to contend with their families’ clashing cultures, societal expectations and generational differences, including Cohen’s “progressive and semi-woke Jewish parents (Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny),” per the film’s description, and “Amira’s unyielding yet concerned Muslim parents” played by Murphy and Long.
