From our review:

There’s this bizarre notion that good comedy is offensive, when in actual fact it’s empathetic. With a purpose to make somebody snort and do it constantly, it’s needed to know one thing about them first. For this reason the impulse behind a movie like You Individuals could be a good one, as comedy could make a variety of hay out of the misunderstandings individuals have about each other as they bumble towards understanding. You Individuals, nonetheless, is usually concerned with ignorance, and as such it will get outdated quick. As a result of essentially the most offensive comedy isn’t ignorant or bigoted, it’s merely boring.
