<div class="text-justify">

**It surprises me that a person as pretentious and select with the roles that he accepts as Jonah Hill decided to be part of such a mediocre project, and one should not spend too many minutes watching "You People" to understand that not even his presence alongside the most excellent Eddie Murphy save what would be one of Netflix's most uncomfortable and conformist experiments in recent months.**

Directed by Kenya Barris, You People could be defined as an edgy romcom where a young Jewish man and a black girl (Played by Lauren London) decide to forge a relationship despite cultural differences and the problems that this entails for their families. If you ask me, this is not the worst idea in the world, and in fact, there is a lot of narrative potential in a premise like that.

Unfortunately, in the end we have nothing more than a film obsessed with self-flagellation, using accelerated dialogues and full of forced references to popular culture with the intention of hiding its own mediocrity, lacking a clear focus and with a comedic rhythm that (for the most part of occasions) leaves a lot to be desired.

As someone who is obsessed with the culture of street wear and hip hop, I appreciate the recurrent use of clothing, music and memes as elements that exist to reflect the personality of its protagonists, something that usually "You People "He knows how to execute decently, however, if we clear all these objects from the film it will be quite obvious that the substance is rather thin.

Starting from a disastrous meet cute and going through a large cast of characters unpleasant to the point where they could be considered unrealistic, You People is a boring and generic exploration of two cultures that undoubtedly have much more to offer.


The only thing that stands out in my opinion is the last half hour, giving Murphy some space to shine from a more "dramatic" perspective and taking advantage of the undeniable chemistry that exists between Hill and Lauren London.

**You People barely knows how to justify its almost two hours duration, it might get you a couple of laughs, but I feel that there are many more enjoyable alternatives in the genre. It honestly feels like a Twitter argument between two people who are racist and don't realize it.**

**Me sorprende que una persona tan pretenciosa y selecta con los roles que acepta como Jonah Hill decidiera formar parte de un proyecto tan mediocre, y es que uno no debe pasar demasiados minutos viendo "You People" para comprender que ni siquiera su presencia junto al excelentísimo Eddie Murphy salvan lo que vendría siendo uno de los experimentos más incómodos y conformistas de Netflix en estos últimos meses.**

Dirigida por Kenya Barris, You People podría definirse como una romcom edgy en dónde un joven judío y una chica negra (Interpretada por Lauren London) deciden forjar una relación a pesar de las diferencias culturales y los problemas que esto supone para las familias de ambos, si me preguntan a mi, está no es la peor idea del mundo, y de hecho, existe muchísimo potencial narrativo en una premisa cómo esa. 

Lastimosamente, al final no tenemos más que una película obsesionada con autflagelarse, empleando diálogos acelerados y llenos de referencias a la cultura popular forzadas con la intención de ocultar su propia mediocridad, carentes de un enfoque claro y con un ritmo comedico que (en la mayoría de ocasiones) deja mucho que desear. 

Cómo alguien que se encuentra obsesionado con la cultura del street wear y hip hop aprecio el uso recurrente de las prendas de vestir, la música y los memes como elementos que existen para reflejar la personalidad de sus protagonistas, algo que por lo general "You People" sabe ejecutar decentemente, no obstante, si despejamos todos estos objetos del filme será bastante obvio que la sustancia es más bien escasa. 

Partiendo desde un meet cute desastroso y pasando por una gran plantilla de personajes desagradables a tal punto en que podríamos considerarlos poco realistas, You People es una exploración aburrida y genérica a dos culturas que sin duda tienen mucho más que ofrecer. 


Lo único destacable en mi opinión es la última media hora, dándole un poco de espacio a Murphy para brillar desde una óptica más "dramática" y aprovechando la innegable química que existe entre Hill y Lauren London.

**You People apenas sabe justificar sus casi dos horas de duración, podrá sacarte un par de risas, pero siento que existen muchas alternativas en el género más disfrutables. Honestamente, se siente como una discusión en Twitter entre dos personas que son racistas y no se dan cuenta.**

Yo aún no la he terminado de ver, pero la verdad me ha parecido algo graciosa e interesante, sobretodo por la mezcla de las culturas, a mi me encanto ese choque que tienen ambos padres, sobretodo el que interpreta Eddie para mi es primera vez que lo veo en un personaje tan serio algo completamente nuevo para mi y es lo que más gracia me causo de todo, si tal vez no sea la mejor película de todas y aún no se como termina, pero hasta los momentos me ha parecido agradable y hasta quiero saber que final le dan. Saludos.

Creo que disfrutarás al final, es lo mejor de toda la película. 

Eddie es uno de sus mejores aspectos, es una pena que a veces su personaje sea tan agrio, aún así, hay un par de aspectos buenos.

Veo que está película no es bueno al menos en tu opinión. Tendría que verla para ver qué tal y dar una opinión más certera. Me parece correcto cuando hablamos también de film que no son lo que esperemos, no siempre se debe hablar de lo bueno, sino también, de las películas que no son de nuestro agrado.

Gracias por compartir tu opinión sobre esta película.

¡Saludos!

LOL. Your review was pretty brutal, but I enjoyed this slightly light-hearted conclusion. Despite the negative review, this actually makes me want to watch it in the same way you would stare with mouth agape at a trainwreck.
