Netflix fans rip into 'pathetic' CGI kiss in Jonah Hill's You People after 'zero chemistry' with Lau
NETFLIX fans have ripped into the 'pathetic' CGI kiss in Jonah Hill's You People after 'zero chemistry' with Lauren London.
The 39-year-old actor stars in the romcom as Ezra Cohen, a thirty-five-year-old broker and podcaster, who falls into an unlikely relationship with fashion designer Amira Mohammed.
Amira is played by Lauren, 38, and the couple bond despite their differences as a white, Jewish male and a black, Muslim woman.
However, some fans have been left shocked to learn that a kissing scene between the actors towards the end of the movie was created by CGI.
Cast member Andrew Schulz told Charlamagne Tha God during an episode of Brilliant Idiots: "I don’t know if I should share this here, but in the final scene of You People, they don’t even kiss. It’s CGI.
"I’m there; I’m watching the wedding, and I see them going for the kiss, and their faces are like this far.

“[I thought] oh, they’re probably going to cut right there, but if you see the movie, you can see their faces come close, and then you can see their faces morph a little bit into a fake kiss."
It left Netflix viewers slamming the movie and scene in question, with one writing on Twitter: "Their chemistry was so lacking in the movie. But to pay for computer-generated imagery (CGI)?!
"A fade to black moment would have been more believable. Rom-Coms shouldn’t be this hard to make."
Another added: "The fact that Lauren London and Jonah Hill didn’t kiss and they used #CGI is wild #YouPeople."

A third tweeted: "I came here to see if someone noticed the CGI kiss, too!! Super weird!! #youpeople."
Meanwhile others couldn't get over the lack of on-screen chemistry between the pair.
One viewer wrote: "Wow Lauren London and Jonah Hill have ZERO chemistry in “You People”, it’s actually cringe worthy!"
Another added: "I was super excited about #YouPeople. A cast that is unmatched. But it just didn't click.
"Jonah Hill and Lauren London had zero chemistry on screen. I just couldn't see it. I wanted to feel it but him hugging her when they decided to be in love threw me off. I got zero passion."
You People is available on Netflix now.
