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 Says

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.

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.

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.

2.5/5

A film with several clichés, predictability, and some out-of-place jokes, but which nevertheless allows for an entertaining time with interesting characters and a few gags that work. [Full Review in Spanish]

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

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.
