The interracial rom-com, loosely based on Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, is loaded with social themes that will explore racial stereotypes in America with a comedic twist. “black-ish” creator Kenya Barris and Jonah Hill, who stars in the film, teamed up to write the script for Barris’ feature directorial debut.
The film follows a heavily tattooed white Jewish man, Ezra (played by Jonah Hill), who falls in love with Amira (played by Lauren London), a Black woman whose father (played by Eddie Murphy) identifies as Muslim, and the friction between their families.
You People also stars Mike Epps, Lala Anthony, Yung Miami Emily Arlook, Deon Cole, David Duchovny, Sam Jay, Elliott Gould, Travis Bennett, Molly Gordon, Rhea Perlman, Andrea Savage, Bryan Greenberg, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
While on the promo trail…
Lauren London stopped by the clubhouse to chop it up with Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” with “Real Housewives of Potomac” star Candiace Dillard Bassett. She dished on her favorite memory from starring in Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot” music video, where she ended up casting half of her friends and family back when she was the assistant to the director.
She also revealed that she smoked weed with Snoop before, and Candiace said she felt an immediate contact high when she sat in front of Snoop at the “Power” premiere. Peep the clip above.
Making her rounds on the promo trail…
The 38-year-old actress stopped by “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where she talked about finding out that her son, Kameron (whom she shares with rapper Lil Wayne), is a huge Jimmy Fallon fan. She also shared a funny story about meeting her co-star, Jonah Hill, for the first time in real life.
“When we first met, we met, like – I think we had a meeting like a couple of weeks before we shot. And he had this big van parked in the valet and I’m like trying to get in, I’m honkin’ like, ‘who is blocking?’”
”And he comes out, like, ‘I think I’m supposed to meet you today.’ And I’m like, ‘oh, you are. How you doin’?’ Jonah is really my homeboy in real life. I love me some Jonah Hill.”
