It's not the normal "welcoming black family meeting the racist white family", it's the "attempting-to-be-overly-empathetic white family meeting the resistant black family, with the father being a bigot." It also doubles down on the comedic absurdity by making the white family Jewish and the black family Muslim followers of Louis-lmfao-Farrakhan.

The family dinner comments had me giggling.

I'll give it a shot because it looked like a comedic take from a more honest look.

Good cast. Fun uncomfortable dialogue between extreme black people and extreme white people.

Julia Louis Dreyfuss is hilarious to me. VEEP was great. Miss that show. Not sure how funny Eddie will be in this movie. Haven't found him really funny since Beverly Hills Cop movies.

Also remember, movies aren't made for us old people. Entertainment is mainly for younger generations.

Yeah. The core of this isn't like Guess Who or something. It's a Muslim/Jewish coupling, which has more legs than a White/Black. There's some potential here, and Hill handles awkward humor better than most.
