there is a replacement where is the timeline youfeature directorial debut Kenya Barris (dark) is the next great romantic comedy. There’s another version where it’s a biting satire that delves into the strain parents can put on their grown children. It’s a sharp critique of race relations that entertains and addresses harsh truths about cancel culture, privilege, and faith. I’m sorry… well, Fine.
Directed by Barris and co-written by the lead actor Jonah Hill, you We pride ourselves on adding a modern twist guess who’s coming to dinnerHill stars as Angeleno Sneakerhead and Jewish son Ezra Cohen. He desperately dreams of becoming a full-time culture his podcaster with his best friend Mo while working a job in finance that he hates (Sam Jay). Ezra accidentally gets Amira Mohammed’s (Lauren London) car for his rideshare, the two embarked on a whirlwind romance filled with differences that threatened to tear their relationship apart.
you It’s funny sometimes in spite of itself. Hill exudes his signature self-deprecating charisma, turning pathetic lines into a hilarious kind of deadpan passivity. The meet-cute in the middle is playful, awkward, and not jaded, but closer to being adorable. Eddie Murphy Landing a lot of dialogue that softens the hostile side of his character, Julia Louis-Dreyfus Virtually steal the whole damn thing as Ezra’s well-meaning and overbearing Jewish mother Sherry Cohen. The one-off characters are also played by talented comedians, inviting the stars to laugh. David Duchovny, Mike Epps, Deon Cole, Molly Gordon, Anthony Anderson, Kim Whitley and others. However, I can’t decide whether this movie is a love story or a social commentary, and in the end it doesn’t work out either way.
Hill and London’s unconvincing coupling has little to do with the interracial aspect of their relationship. you It squeezes the couple’s relationship into a short montage of long dates, matching sneakers, and ties together LA’s hip-hop culture (London is the former partner of the late LA hip-hop icon Nipsey Hussle). and there is teeth Some chemistry often fade under the collective incompatibility of family members.
All of Ezra’s emotions and thought processes play out on screen, while Amira is given very few agents, lines, or emotions other than frustration. London’s Absence Amira and Sherry over Ezra’s joke about love for cocaine at boys’ weekend treats Amira like a Jewish mother who dresses up like a shiny new black Barbie It becomes even more apparent when it gets more screen time than the true conflict between. Because despite her limited line, London still manages to shine.
If you‘s sole goal was to deliver a two-hour movie with some light laughter. It could be considered a success. You can’t leave Hill, Murphy, and Louis-Dreyfus at the dinner table without laughing. But in trying to address dozens of questions about race, privilege, interracial relationships, and interfaith families, you It devolves into a clumsy act of juggling and ends up abandoning all these important topics in favor of surface-level solutions. Everyone wakes up and thinks they’re watching any number of videos Barris has made. H is TV series.
you It argues more for the separation of useless families than for mutual understanding between different cultures. And even with all the timely jokes about vaccines and Kanye West, this movie can only rehash old arguments and throw them away for a sense of family they didn’t get. New Air Put on his Jordans, like in an old racing movie. If you’re looking for a comedic take on the world we live in now, this might not be the movie for you.
