We chat with YouPeople stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus (officialjld) and David Duchovny about Kenya Barris' collaborative directing process and how they relate to their characters:
You People is a star-studded new approach to the romantic comedy genre. The movie follows Ezra, who dreams of love and his podcast becoming wildly popular. A chance meeting with Amira seems to be the start of his dreams coming true as the young couple falls in love and eventually becomes engaged, but troubles arise when they introduce their parents. Although the couple has a solid foundation and great love for one another, the external pressures may prove too much as the wedding date approaches.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Yes. David and I, we'd never worked together before. But when we met on this film, I felt as if we'd known each other a long time, and we immediately connected. We both have kids roughly the same age and...Julia Louis-Dreyfus: A lot younger. You know, we're very badly cast, but let's just say it up front because we're way too young for it.Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Yeah. It's the elephant in the room, so we just want to get that out of the way.
There's that dinner scene, which was hilarious. Every actor elevated that moment and the comedic timing was tremendous, but it was a real conversation. How much of that was on the page, and how much of that was in the moment? David Duchovny: I just feel really comfortable with Kenya. I don't know if laidback is the term, but he's very relaxed on the surface. I'm sure he's got a million things on his mind, but you didn't feel hurried to nail it. It was really exploratory and kind of working on improv through things as he's directing you through an improv, pitching you ideas, pitching you lines, things like that. So I really loved that aspect of working with Kenya.
