Really smart, funny rom com about a white Jew (Jonah Hill) who falls in love with a black woman (Lauren London). Jonah Hill is an engaging lead - everyone is good actually though the X factor comes from Eddie Murphy as his father in law, with Sam Jay, who is sensational, coming a close second as Hill's podcasting mate.
This has received some snippy reviews - I don't get it. Maybe it is a little too long, and the wedding planner riff is OTT. David Duchovny maybe miscast (his performance is fine, just felt miscast.)
I thought it was hilarious, and some of it was brilliant. Elliot Gould does a lot of extra-ing. Bryan Greenberg is Hill's mate but has no lines, is that right?
