Netflix’s new comedy ‘You People’ features some comedic icons all on one screen.
Who would’ve thought the comedic pairing of Eddie Murphy, Julia-Louis Dreyfus and Jonah Hill, was something we absolutely needed.
Kenya Barris and Jonah Hill script a Rom-Com that tackles race in a satirical manner and we are here for it.
The movie is based on Jonah Hill’s character, Ezra Cohen, who is searching for love. The trailer hilariously compares Hill to “Views” Drake which means he is on the hunt for love by all means necessary. Cohen runs into Amira Mohammed played by Lauren London, he meets her by accidentally jumping into her car mistaking her for his Uber driver.
Long story short, they date, they get engaged, and now to the good part, meeting the parents!
The official press release notes:
“When a rideshare mix-up in LA brings Ezra Cohen (Jonah Hill) and Amira Mohammed (Lauren London) together, the two find themselves connecting over a shared love of streetwear and music. As they fall in love, their relationship is tested by their respective families: Ezra’s progressive and semi-woke parents (Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny) and Amira’s unyielding yet concerned parents (Eddie Murphy and Nia Long) who inject themselves into their lives mercilessly. Kenya Barris’ feature film directorial debut is a modern love story set amidst clashing cultures and interfaith relationships.”
On January 27th, You People will be available on Netflix.
