    I’d seen the PSH clips for years but never the whole movie. Just stick to the clips.

    You People

    ★½

    You People seems determined to solve one specific problem, but by making every scene a point of contention with no resolution, it becomes impossible to feel anything meaningful has changed by the end. There’s good improv by Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy (yet not nearly enough substance or screentime for the latter), but too much of this movie is cringe-by-design. Like the bachelor party for Hill’s character, the whole experience feels completely and unnecessarily joyless.

    ★★★★

    Zendaya was great, but did Josh O’Connor get enough shine for this? Also, give the Oscar to Trent and Atticus already.
