Following on from the teaser, which landed last month, we now have the full trailer for Jonah Hill/Kenya Barris comedy You People, in which Hill's character is looking to marry Eddie Murphy's character's daughter and… well, let's just say there's a family culture clash brewing. Have a look…
The story (scripted by Hill and Barris, with the latter directing) kicks off when Ezra Cohen (Hill) accidentally gets into Amira Mohammed’s (Lauren London) car one day, mistakenly convinced that she’s his ride-share.
Once she’s gotten over the shock and accepts his offer of a date, the two quickly bond over a shared love of sneakers and music. Soon, it’s clear that they’ve finally found that special someone. So special, in fact, that it’s time to think about merging their families. Enter Ezra’s progressive and semi-woke Jewish parents (Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Duchovny) and Amira’s unyielding yet concerned Muslim parents (Murphy and Nia Long). The one thing they have in common? The ability to mercilessly interfere with their children’s lives.
While Duchovny and Louis-Dreyfus weren't in the teaser, they're in full flow here, giving off mildly Get Out vibes in how they greet Amira and then sparking real tension with Murphy and Long over religion.
We'll see how it all turns out when the comedy arrives on Netflix on the 27th of this month.
