This film, a satirical romantic comedy by Kenya Barris, explores racial, cultural, and familial conflicts in contemporary America. The film centers on Amira, a Black costume designer, and Ezra, a Jewish podcaster, as their relationship clashes with the expectations of their families, portrayed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Eddie Murphy. The film explores generational gaps and cultural tension while echoing classics like Guess Who's Coming to Dinner with a blend of biting humor and unpleasant confrontations. This film is a daring, if flawed, look at love and identity in today's society because of the story's heart, which is given by strong performances and clever exchanges.
