Review of You People

You People (2023)
1/10
I would like that 2 hours back
30 January 2023
After seeing the big names in the cast I hoped this would be a comedy worth watching. Instead, it is a cringeworthy attempt to be funny and most of the big named actors are not a major part of the movie. In the real world we are living in a hugely devisive world and it continues to get worse. It is Dem vs. Rep, LGBT....vs Straight, any ethnic group vs. White, libs vs. Conservatives, etc. This movie tries to find humor in some aspects of our real world specifically black vs. White and it is just not funny. Eddie Murphy used to be a really funny comedian and actor with movies like Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America, Trading Places, etc.but that was 40 years ago. Of course writing has a great deal to do with the success of a movie too. Jonah Hill really missed the mark on this one. Many of the attempts at humor were just uncomfortable moments and not funny. The ending tries to be warm and fuzzy to make up for the rest of the film and while that is nice. It would have been better if the writing was better. I would not suggest investing your time in this film.
