What happens

You People is a 2023 American romantic comedy film directed by Kenya Barris, which he co-wrote with Jonah Hill. 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. Set in the Los Angeles area, the two millennials meet by chance and go into uncharted waters in their dating lives. Critics have analyzed the film as a modern-day retelling of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), but in which clashes over African American–Jewish relations are even more pointed. You People was released in select theaters on January 20, 2023, before its Netflix streaming release on January 27. It was the first time Barris directed a feature film. The film received mixed reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
