You People starts off sweet & charming, albeit a tad smug but then it gets dull and the satire winds up being a parody. What could have shown a sequences of mishaps becomes annoying parents being rude and narrow minded to each other. No one seems to be understanding and the humor misses most beats. I was excited for this as i enjoy Jonah Hill as a writer and i have enjoyed most of Kenya Barris' screenplays so i expected a wittier script and more provocative film. Instead the film felt very 00s, just with better political undertones, but still ends in a very formulaic & contrived way.
