Thank you all so much for watching, giving your opinions and sharing your perspectives! Appreciate it a ton. But most of all thank you for keeping it respectful in this comment section ❤️
And thank you for the back and forth
It seems Hollywood wants to change culture again

Great video I watched this movie a couple of weeks I’m a long time fan of Eddie Murphy from way back when I was a kid and he was just a cast member on Saturday Night Live so I was kinda stoked to watch this movie and actually I really didn’t have a problem with Eddie but this movie gave me douche chills from the beginning till the end it was like they were trying way too hard push some kind of message
Beautiful face, Love the natural😍🤔
I agreeeee, the wig-pulling-off trope is SO tired :(
To be honest every black girl fight I see wigs are flying everywhere.
"Something New" is a good example of a movie that examined the two individual's feelings vs family approval.
Yeah, that movie did interracial relations right!
I enjoyed it because at the end Love conquers all❤
I love love that movie!
Yes!! I love Something New!! I'm gonna watch it on valentine's day lol
I love that movie, the leads have good chemistry and anything involving beautiful gardens will have my approval.
I’m Greek and my big fat Greek wedding is still absolutely hilarious to me. My husband is Caribbean and we can both relate to the movie. Especially when I introduced him to my big fat Greek family.
Love your channel! You are beautiful! Keep it up! ❤
My big fat Greek family really reminds me of my latino in-laws lol
@@SpicyPlur Haha! 😆
Here’s a good lesson: Whenever you see a star-studded cast, let that be a red flag to you!🚩🚩🚩
It’s nothing but a marketing tool to reel viewers in.
Maybe you’re right! Never payed attention to that!
If you see a red label title it’s going to be bad or it’s just comedy
Yup! 100%
Not always. In a Martin Scorsese movie you’re going to have all a-lost stars giving amazing performances. But we only have one Scorsese so I guess that’s not saying much 🫠
Now that I think about it that's true
As a white man married to a black woman we were excited for this movie. As it began to unfold I really began to hate this movie. I found people were either totally ignorant or just assholes. My wife totally agreed with me.
Watch guess who is you haven’t ! same concept but a better movie by a mile
Lovebirds is the first movie I have seen where being interracial was secondary to the storyline. It also had two pocs .. Black and Indian Love 💕. I wish it got waay more credit !
I’ve put it on my watch list!
And it was funny !!! 😂🥰
I actually stopped watching the movie half way through bc I was exhausted. I felt like I needed to rest and recharge before I watched the rest of it
It really was though to sit through…
Same here, tried 3 times. People who I like also like the movie, but I just haven't finished it.
I stopped it 8 times. But I got through it in the end.
I didn’t make it half way 10 minutes top
Me too
Kenya Barris is known for making a lot of "black" shows for white gaze. Enough said.
Deep
Seems about right.
Nailed it
Kenya is the j3ws favorite type of black dude. Lol dudes like kenya is why the black community Is so behind in America. So quick to sell out your people to j3ws
I just loved how they once again used a biracial woman to portray a woman who had two dark skinned parents, but their son is dark skinned and unambiguously black ☺️ /s
Yeah, it just looked strange to me.
Facts. I didnt realize she was the "black" daughter at first.
As someone who is dark skinned I never considered Nia Long "dark skinned" but black does come in all colors and it's not uncommon for some children to be different shades than their parents
They actually tried to “explain” that in the movie. There’s a scene when Eddie Murphy’s character is telling Nia Long that it was her white grandfather who “lightened up” the coffee in his babies. 😂
@@thedissilent2548 LOL, they just had to throw that in there, didn't they.
I completely agree, Sagid! It was a struggle to watch this movie and it just made zero sense. I thought your review was really refreshing because you really broke down how far backwards we went with this - it was a mess and so over dramatized. thank you for your great video! new sub ❤
Wow thank you! I just saw you’ve done a video about it as well. Loved it thank you so much for the love❤️
I remember watching this movie, and as someone who has been in multiple interracial relationships (I am a South Asian man), it was just so, fucking, jarring. Your point about the movie not being focused on the actual people in the relationship rang so true I felt, I've been trying to find the words for it and I think this video really summed up my feelings on the whole movie.
Let's face it. People in Hollywood don't have the guts to produce the kinds of films we want to see more of. That's why 'Jungle Fever ' and 'Get Out' are praised by many. Because Spike and Jordan have Guts.
Get out was awesome.
Oh yeah.. they definitely needs some new material !!
Whose "we"?
@@buzzytrombone4353 Regular folk.
The behavior of both sides didn't feel real. The setting is Los Angeles; which is a diverse city. Interracial dating in LA is very, very common.
2 things: After seeing Coming 2 America, I gave Eddie the side eye… And that’s a whole other conversation for another day. And once I saw the preview with him jumping in her car thinking it was an Uber, I was like No thank You. Nothing about that preview made me think I really wanna see this movie.
It’s weird how most interracial relationships of importance are portrayed as black and white but there’s black and Asian Asian and white Latino and Asian. African and Asian. I’m black but I want to see more cultural diversity in a films which would be a more accurate reflection of real life.
exactly!!! Like how would and Italian and a Latino relationship look? Asian and Black? Asian and Latino? Im sure they have some interesting stories, that have never been told or perspectives we dont consider. IDK why those are so untouched
I agree. I think it’s always black and white because it’s the most polarizing. Especially in American society with white being the most privileged and black being the most marginalized and disenfranchised. Seems like it’s for shock value more than anything else.
@@sophiaosiris446 agreed.!! I think it’ll get less polarizing if we shed light on other cultural combos.
Especially considering black men are the most open to dating outside their own race 🤷♀️
@@SpicyPlur you sound a little bitter?
Girl, this is one of those movies where Im reminded that actors have bills like everyone else and will just take ridiculous, inauthentic, soulless work to take care of expenses and make ends meet 🤷🏾♀️ your review tho: 💯💯💯
Thank you Sagid for saying interracial relationships do not have to include a white person. If done smart, I'd love to see a story about other races and cultures dealing with relationships. Movies like that should have happened a long time ago. Sad that it's 2023 and they are only still just possibilities.
Lovebirds was a great example of this. Issa rae and Kamail nanjiani.
And while I don't like tyler Perry, I liked 2009 I can do bad all by myself, as kid becuase it was probably the only time I saw a Latino man and black woman as a couple. Even if it's not a great movie.
There's so much potential but it's literally a movie a year.
Watch Namaste Wahalla! Nollywood and Bollywood crossover love story!
@@Confettifun omg that movie was adorable! 🥰
My younger brother is light skinned and my baby sis is dark skinned and our parents are Darker then Eddie murphy I don't know where you live I'm assuming Narnia but two dark skinned parents can have a light skinned child it not uncommon
@@johnindigo5477 lol I was just watching I Can Do Bad All By Myself last night and remembering how when I was a kid I mostly liked the movie because they showed a black woman and Latino male relationship and to me that was unseen
je bent echt heel goed! Ik kom van jullie podcast
My thing was the daughter didn't feel like she was genuinely invested in the relationship
It was like she was forced into it
This movie made me so uncomfy, I was cringing the whole time. I wanted to see what other people were saying about it and that’s how I found your video! You brought to words all the things I was feeling about this movie. Also, unrelated but absolutely relevant, you’re gorgeous 😊
Fantastic review. Indeed, how the hell did we go from Get Out to this nonsense? Very happy the algorithm brought me to your channel.
Subbed!
I know it’s just a movie but it gave a stereotypical look at interfaith, interracial and inter ethnicity relationships. Most people/families are not that ignorant to other race or cultures. I am in a inter ethnicity marriage as my husband is Puerto Rican. Both our families were very accepting of us. I felt this movie was just scrabbling and lazy with the whole concept and it felt rushed. It had so much potential to do a new take on interracial relationships but it fell flat.
"families are not that ignorant to other race or cultures"..........👀
Im also in an interracial marriage with a Latino and have the same experience as you. Both of our families are very accepting and respectful. This movie left us feeling weird at the end of it because it was, I hate to say it, but racist. Plus my black family is so much more open minded than what they showed black families to be.
@@DawneeNorthern The scene where Murphy’s character is just talking about Farrakhan being a great man while his Jewish dinner hosts sit across from him is just low class and offensive. It’s like if a white person gushes over David Duke as a guest at dinner hosted by black people. Farrakhan calls Jewish people satanists and termites. There’s no coming back from that. The father is a straight up bigot and you’re supposed to accept the fact at the end all is forgiven and their son and his daughter have any shot at all with this man in their life?
I’m not even Jewish and the entire premise of this movie seemed laughably implausible.
It was like a minstrel show. Who were the writers..
@@kevinc8955 Farrakhan is right
Great review! This Channel will blow up
Yo that Iraqi Irish wedding clip was fire!!!!
Right!!!!
Why not a west Africa and an african American
Now I would LIVE for that!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰
@@fromlissawithlove lets goooo but you know the powers that be ain't tryin to do that cuz we may Unite🤣🤣😏😏😉😉
Had to turn it off 26 mins in sadly I really wanted the movie to be good since Eddie was back. I agree with your points love the review.
I feel you, but Kenya Barris is a one-trick pony. He's not (yet) a movie director, but he's the flavor of the moment and keeps getting opportunities despite the phukk shit. Had Jordan Peele directed this, it would've AT LEAST been funny and cinematic. And I imagine that the casting would've been better, too. No way Jonah Hill's parents would look like those two people (such a weird choice by Kenya) or Eddie and Nia having a kid that looks like Lauren London. Just bad storytelling all around.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 i agree with absolutely all of this
Well, it is stated that Nia Long's character had a whyte grandfather in the film.
Besides, varieties in skin tones may prevails amongst some African and Afro-descended families.
Despite Lauren being biracial in real life, she absolutely did look like Nia’s child in this movie lmao.
Girls Trip, Shaft and Barbershop says otherwise. You wrote all of that without knowing what you were talking about.
First of all, chile...Jordan Peele would never debase himself for a movie like this! lmao The gag is he at least engages with the audience in his movies in a way that respects its intelligence, meanwhile Kenya's movies be saying water is wet and the sky isn't always blue and expects people to go up for it. He has the industry's backing behind him and chooses to make films like this, like it's so bizarre to me, not to mention why does the racial background always have to be a component? Why not weight or size? Why not disability? Why not educational background? Literally anything else but the same old Jim Crow sh*t.
My sentiments exactly.
Thank you so much for making this video I agree so much.
So true
Well said
💯
I agree 100 percent
it’s like when you get an uber and they put on “that radio statiion”
I couldn't even watch the whole movie. I was over it at the scene of the first date.
I was so excited to see Andrew Shulz his is one of my favorite comedians.
The dancers at that Irish-iraqui wedding were hard!!
You’re video is smart!! I Love it!! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you! 🤗
You're smart ( and beautiful too)
6:02 was a golden take, that I don't think we have ever seen on screen
Completely agree 👍🏽
My big, fat Greek wedding is one of my favorite movies of ALL TIME.
Now that situation made sense😂
Love that movie.
Omg that movie was soooo good
Mississippi Masala with Denzel Washinton and Sharita Choudhury is SO good, such a classic. Interracial couple without a white person.
Haven’t seen that one! Put it on my too watch list thanks for the tip❤️
First video of yours I’ve seen and MA’AM you’re are drop dead gorgeous. 😩
Thank youuu! X
I like the hair cut. Give a tutorial on wearing your 👑💄👠.💈
3:04 the show Mo (also on Netflix) features an interracial couple between a Hispanic woman and an Arab man. I didn’t realize how novel it was to see it in a mainstream show. It was refreshing.
Trueee
I watched this movie with a stank face the entire time. All my friends kept saying how they can relate to Laura Londons experience and I myself have never had the experience of a white woman walking up to me talking about police brutality. My friends became upset but that’s NEVER been my experience.
Never heard of it until now
The Big Sick was pretty good
I watched my big fat greek wedding recently. And it is still that movie! Funny and fresh even now.
The chemistry was off amongst the couple’s. Too many shot changes to include the extremely long list of A listers. The movie was not funny. Produced by Kenya Barris enough said why the film was 🗑
Im South African and we have a movie called wahala wasala and it's about a Nigerian girl, and an Indian man falling inlove
I watched it when it came out on Netflix 2 years ago. Good movie
@@Indigolily80 it was nice to see that, because most of the time we get black and white couples and it's getting old.
I think it was underwhelming for sure ,but I do think it was funny and good .it wasn’t suppose to be a cultural reset it was suppose to be a rom com and it did what it was suppose to do yes it had a powerful topic attached to it but for people like me who haven’t ever experienced something like this this was a good introduction
I'd like to see a movie with two families of different races/cultures sitting together eating without any tension, respecting each other for their similarities rather than differences.. there can still be wacky moments and goofy mishaps without bringing up differences, being overly ignorant or perpetuating stereotypes.. represent real families that only care about the happiness of the ones they love.
You were completely right, i was so excited to see You People and so disappointed when I did.
also in thr story of introducing the characters it was so much more abour Ezra and only a short snippet about some ex business for Amira
THE BEST review on this movie that I've seen on youtube.
This video popped up in my recommendations and I'm so glad it was! You made a lot of great points. - a new subscriber
Movie had some funny moments but overall was just painful to watch. I felt physical pain from the overwhelming cringe.
When I first saw the trailer I thought it looked good, but within the first 15 minutes or so I was already second guessing it and it got uncomfortable quick.
On a side note, I was glad to see Lauren London, even if the movie fell flat. I can’t imagine what her life has been over the past few years so it was really cool to see her on the screen and even in the quick shots of her laughing during the blooper reel they dropped. Much love and support to her and her family.
Yes, the extreme stereotypes was a bit painful 👎. We must stop classifying people as groups and simply go with how an individual treats you ☮️🌎
3:01 ❤
I watched this last night!!! I was like what did I just watch!!!
very weak return of eddie and jonah
💔 indeed
Yeah, it honestly was. The only thing It made me realize from them is that Eddie is still aging great and Jonah has aged like sh!t.
Your review was interesting. I have not watched the movie (to be honest I had not heard about it yet), but being French I know a french comedy of the sort came out 10 years ago, and the humor wasn't the most sophisticated either. I have been in an intercultural relationship myself, and it definitely makes you realize real differences and sometimes confronting world views, so an interesting subject for a story. Hearing your opinion about the movie made me want to watch it myself, as people can react differently to such a type of humor, but I enjoyed your serene approach.
Feeling a connection here as French and being in an interracial relationship. I enjoyed the movie. Let this movie be a first and open the door for new visions.
Same here!
40 Red Led Lights, you can wear any color you like!! (TRON) CTFU
Not gonna lie I didn't even know this movie existed. I think you raised some interesting points in the video. With that said the film industry is basically just stagnant water with a tap that sometimes drips.
LOVED that last sentence about the film industry. I totally agree!!! It is just remake, reboot, prequel nonsense (with only a few of those working) and then the occasional original idea or book adaptation (that is a hit or at least interesting because it is a different concept).
There are many books that would make good movies and limited series. There are film creatives fresh out of school or on the web. Yet, we get the 25th version of the same movie.
I was going to watch the movie on one of those free movie apps, but watched the trailer on TH-cam first and immediately found it " cringey". Your video was right underneath it. After watching your vid, I don't think I'm going to waste my time. Thanks for the heads up. 👍
After 20mins I was bored and felt like torture watching it but I tried because of the actors but I stopped before an hour... it was uninteresting
Exactly totally agree
Trust when I finished the movie and found out Kenya Barris directed it (didn't notice till end credits) I was like STOP GIVING HIM PLATFORMS. Kenya is like Tyler Perry, constantly putting black people in an outdated box and dehumanizing box.
Absolutely loved the movie! I loved Jonah Hill and Lauren London.
Great video. Very well done. I just finished watching this and I thought it was just horrible. Both families do their communities a total disservice and that may have worked if it was hilarious, but it isn’t. So you’re left with these very unlikeable people trying to become educated on a subject that the two lead characters already were. Finally, the means by which the families become educated is just so tacked on and rushed at the end, that what really should be the substantive lesson is completely lost.
Excellent review.
I am Jewish and do not identify as white. My ancestors were from tribes in from the Middle East. This wasn't addressed at all along with many other Jewish tropes. The ending was ridiculous and as a couple they had zero chemistry.
What tribes from the middle of what that didn't exist until 1901?
@@MangoSlade. bro you never heard of the 12 tribes of Israel?
@@bellacuadra6503 You never heard of the 12 tribes of Ishmael & what's your point?
Yes you ppl make Ws look bad then claim you're not a W. Classic trickery
I don't identify as whoite but I live high on the hog in apartheid South Africa, protected by Whoite supremacy and also practicing it too. Can u explain this to us black folk?
Obsessed with Nia Long I wanted to see more of her
I happen to be a multiracial person whose family backgrounds are multi-faith, who’s dated men of various races/ethnicities. For face value, I think the movie was trying to point out that nothing has really changed when it comes to this topic within the United States. For whatever reason we are still experiencing a lot of issues when it comes to interracial relationships between black and white people. I will always appreciate “Jungle Fever” because it made us have conversations that were necessary on my college campus. I have never seen a movie made in the US regarding people of other races besides black and white when it comes to this issue that addresses the topic directly. “You People” was kind of slow in spots. I was just hoping that perhaps they left a lot of substance on the cutting room floor. If that is what happened that is unfortunate.
Much love sister
I couldn’t finish it. I tried twice. I just wanted to support 😅
I didn't see a trailer for this, I swear based on the pictures I thought this was a gay romance between Eddie Murphy and Jonah Hill. I am not joking
The caption: I agree.
I liked this movie, and I’m a POC before anyone assumes otherwise. It was definitely OTT and exaggerated, and tbh the black family were annoying, but at the end of the day it’s a comedy, not to be taken seriously. It made me laugh and it was enjoyable. Glad I decided to watch as I was almost put off by the feedback.
I'm Jewish and this movie made me feel so uncomfortable, like every scene I was like "how much more are they going to embarrass themselves and insult the other people in the room"
The 2010 movie Kites is about an Indian man falling in love with a Latina. It's not exactly realistic lol but what romance movie is
I knew it was going to suck from the trailer! I don't see how people couldn't see what type of movie this was going to be from the trailer.
It does suck! I had to turn it off. Couldn't finish it. It was painful and exhausting to watch.
I support this video 👍 Txs!
Not a Tyler Perry fan but one of his movies had a black woman and a latino guy. I appreciated some aspects of it since my husband is latino lol. Movie had some pretty terrible moments though. Our wedding was intercultural in that we had interracial ceremonies, the officiant was bilingual, and a mariachi band performed September by EW&F lol.
This is why my big fat greek wedding was soo good.
You make me wanna see it!
Do it! Don’t let my review stop you!
Finally, somebody came out with the truth! The cringeness factor in this flick was up to 1000 with completely forgettable and shallow performances not to mention the script...one of the worst dialogues I have ever seen in an A-list movie! This movie portrays exactly what's wrong with the American film industry: pick a controversial theme like interracial relationships (in which I hate this term, since I'm Brazilian and we don't have such terms in our vocabulary), fill it up to the brink with useless and super cringeworthy elements from the woke police and the train wreck is done! Such mediocre times we are living and unfortunately it's rubbing on the entertainment industry as well...
Thank you for this review! I have yet to hear anything good about this movie, so when I watch it I’ll just turn the intellectual, analytical , linear equation “Solve for X” built side of my brain off 🤣🤣.
And when you said the part of there being more than just “black and white” I wanted to freaking CHEER. Because I ALWAYS SAY this, but because my husband is Black North American like myself I don’t have a “voice” in this conversation. Even though, he’s from DC, I’m Gullah Geechee-hell that’s a story right there 😂 But I digress….
There are people who are of different faiths, different tribes, different racial blends whom they and their children Im sure would LOVE representation, but to no avail.
Probably one of the few of these “Guess Whose Coming To Dinner” type of films that I like is Alex and Ani. It’s about a Greek Orthodox guy who falls in love with a Lebanese woman who is Muslim. It’s a cute little rom com that I think is worth a watch.
Again, we’re almost at 8 BILLION and I think we are all collectively tired of having ONLY chocolate and vanilla ice cream at the ONLY ice cream parlor in town 😏 Just saying.
(Super off topic, you are absolutely stunning btw! 🥰)
Lovebirds was really good!
Notice how the DSBW gets humiliated by getting her wig snatched.
I’ll also say it again, my brain still cannot comprehend how two black parents (Nia Long + Eddie Murphy) procreated a biracial child (Lauren London).
Trueeeeee!
My brain is malfunctioning. How did Nia Long (brown skin BW) & Eddie Murphy (dark-skin bm) procreate and make a biracial child in Lauren London.
They should have got Issa Rae
This is an amazing review! Great Job.
Appreciate it thank you for watching ❤️
I only watched it for Laura London to be honest she kept me into the movie beyond that I do agree with you
I've never found Lauren to be a good actress but I found her actually good here, and I'm so sad this was the script she got, because she was really working and u could tell. I felt like she really was prepared and she held her own against some very good actors and actresses. But also they literally played around with Nia, Eddie, David and Julia as well
Until we pass this generation and the baby boomers it will ALWAYS be about acceptance of the families because that’s the mindset of those born in the 50s & 60s. I feel that maybe in the next 15-20 years it may be heading more in the right direction.
This was like a Tyler Perry script written for Kevin Hart
I could not finish that movie.
This movie targets the micro aggressions that still exist from those who consider themselves woke. I think a lot of people missed that message.
I just finished watching the filmand....'mama, that was garbage.' Your video however, articulated exactly what was wrong with it.
Sorry that you didn't like it me and my friend loved it!!
