The film features an ensemble cast that includes Hill, Lauren London, David Duchovny, Nia Long, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Eddie Murphy.

Its plot focuses on an interracial and interreligious couple, namely a secular Jewish man from the liberal elite and a black nationalist Nation of Islam woman with antisemitic parents, and how their families reckon with modern love amid culture clashes, societal expectations, and generational differences.

The film received mixed reviews from critics and drew accusations of missing the mark as a satire and instead trivializing and perpetuating Black antisemitism, limousine liberalism, White guilt, and Jewish self-hatred.

His rich, progressive Limousine liberal parents Shelley and Arnold patronizingy boast that they are accepting and supportive of everyone, mentioning Ezra's lesbian sister Liza.

Meanwhile, Shelley takes Amira out for a spa day, but she continually shows her cluelessness and obliviousness to her many violations of unwritten social rules of black culture.

The night suffers from more embarrassments, with Shelley inadvertently making a racist remark during a party game and accidentally ripping off a guest’s wig.

Three months later, Ezra gives a heartbroken soliloquy over his podcast, saying that black and white people can never truly understand the other's culture or experiences, no matter how deeply they love each other or how hard they try.

Shelley promises to get to know Amira as a human being, rather than continuing to view her as a radical chic trophy to show off to other members of the liberal elite.

Ezra and Amira accept their apologies and enter the retail store to find it set up for their wedding, with everyone including friends, family, and a rabbi and NOI minister assembled.

The website's consensus reads: "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.

"[15] Christian Zilko of Indiewire graded the film a B+ and concluded that it "ends up being more of a feel-good rom-com and love letter to Los Angeles than a truly biting satire.

"[21] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote that it "sinks under the weight of its obviousness and a consistently heavy-handed approach, despite the sometimes stylish and well-paced direction from Kenya Barris and an incredibly talented cast.

"[22] Meanwhile Allisson Josephs of Jew in the City identified a number of traditional antisemitic tropes recycled by the film, going so far as to claim that "Kenya Barris is clearly a [Louis] Farrakhan fan.
