You People

a review by Nathan

You People is a painfully average movie. Very average performances mixed with a bad script. The whole story felt as if they were checking off scenarios from a social issues list. I am all for telling these types of stories about race and sexuality, but the message is so blatant that it takes precedent over the plot. It results in a very manufactured experience. Despite my issues with the story, the movie was just not that funny. There were times I did laugh, I can admit, but that will happen with the amount of jokes they were spitting out. I didn’t really have a connection with main two characters either. Overall, just a very forgettable movie that is a disappointment with the talent involved.

Score: 45% Verdict: Poor
