QUICK TAKE:
Comedy: A white Jewish podcaster and a black Muslim costume designer hope that their polarizing parents don't end up dooming their new romantic relationship.
PLOT:

In a typical rom-com sort of "meet cute" way, L.A.-based broker Ezra (JONAH HILL) ends up accidentally meeting costume designer Amira (LAUREN LONDON) and the two hit it off. They quickly become a couple, much to the surprise of Ezra's podcast partner, Mo (SAM JAY), who doesn't believe white and black people can truly be harmonious due to long-ingrained cultural differences.

That's put to the test when Ezra introduces Amira to his out-of-touch Jewish parents, Shelley (JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS) and Arnold (DAVID DUCHOVNY), and she later introduces him to her Muslim parents, Akbar (EDDIE MURPHY) and Fatima (NIA LONG).

The latter aren't happy with their black daughter dating a white guy, and his parents try too hard to show Amira that they're hip with all things related to black culture and the being black experience in general. All of which results in the young couple trying to figure out how to deal with all of that, including the mounting pressure it puts on their relationship.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
