According to Le Parisien:
“Is it this cliché character that makes the second part of the film dive? Surely a little but above all, after the humorous nuggets at the start, the script runs out of steam, unable to find a balance between good big comedy and too serious political satire and Off topic. And the improbable and agreed end comes like a hair in the soup. Too bad.”

According to Télé Loisirs:
“Do not throw any more: You People, which begins in obscenity and ends in marshmallow, is only worth, at best, for its heterogeneous and sympathetic cast. Too bad this one was misled. “

According to Empire:
“It fails to shed rom-com codes, but You People is funny and relevant in its claim that origins aren’t a dividing factor in a relationship. As evil step-parents, Eddie Murphy and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are undeniably the highlights of this film.”
