Even with a fantastic comedic cast, youpeoplenetflix feels more like a series of sketches than an actual film. Our review:
Kenya Barris made a name for himself by creating black-ish, a surprisingly nuanced look at what it's like to be Black in America, explored through the prism of a broadcast network sitcom. For eight seasons, Barris’s show was able to tackle difficult topics like police brutality, the 2016 presidential election, and racism within the span of a little over twenty minutes delicately and with insight.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Hill stars as Ezra Cohen, a podcast host about Black culture, who meets Amira and the two quickly fall in love. After six months of dating, Ezra decides he's going to pop the question, and asks Amira's father Akbar Mohammed and mother Fatima .
This also extends to the cast, especially the supporting characters. For example, Rhea Perlman, Rob Huebel, Nelson Franklin, and even Elliott Gould make appearances without any real purpose—to the point that it feels like a ton must've been cut out of the film, and these random cameos are all that remains of these moments. This feels especially egregious in one scene where Akbar takes Ezra to a barbershop, where Anthony Anderson is one of the barbers.
