Critics Consensus

You People has an outstanding cast and plenty of comedic potential -- both mostly wasted on a picture that dithers between social commentary and romantic comedy without fully committing to either.

Audience Consensus

A cringe comedy that's mostly just cringe, You People runs in repetitive circles and rarely gives its very funny stars anything deserving of their talents.

Lauren London is delightful and funny. Jonah is clever and funny as usual. Eddie is funny as always. I love to see him in roles we are not used to. love the proof matter and the discussion it provokes. appreciated seeing these perspectives on the big screen discussed in a healthy way.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

If people in LA Actually talk like they do in this movie. I hope a tsunami destroys that pretentious and god awful city. Complete trash.

Great cast wasted on a terrible script. I suppose this was a modern day ripoff of Look Who's Coming to Dinner. Not funny. Not witty. Not entertaining. Don't waste your time.

Carried at times by Julia Luis-Dreyfus and Eddie Murphy. Overall it's too predictable.

It's so funny. I don't know if it'll change race relations, but it'll make you laugh.

Now, there are enough thoughtful screen examinations of racial politics along with normalized visions of inclusive casting to make "You People" stand out as a gormless throwback.

Chicago Reader

The film is much more interested in social embarrassment cringe and gags than it is in any sort of close examination of how racism affects interracial couples.

Wastes a talented cast on unbelievable characters that are always trying to score political points. A real missed opportunity

Because Everyone Else Has One (blog)

Any yet, there's just something unbearably sanctimonious about this film; a sense of self-righteousness about its racial attitudes that is tone-deaf at best and genuinely, alarmingly hypocritical, at worst.

Rated: 0/10

Matinee With Matt

"You People" has a lot going for it and is one of the funnier movies that Netflix has in its current catalog of new content. It also feels genuine, with the Los Angeles background making for a different take on a city mostly stereotyped for glitz.
