"The People We Hate" is an apt title because both the film and every character in it is abhorrent.
This sham of a 'movie' is essentially a 90 minute infomercial for Prime. Not because it tries to sell Amazon products (although it does contain a 3 minute Taco Bell commercial near the end), but because it is filler manufactured for people to "watch" while they play candy-crush on their phone, thereby inflating Prime's viewership stats. The 'plot' is convoluted non-sense, the characters are manikins, the situations/sets/costumes are not remotely plausible, and the dialogue seems to have been written by half-distracted teenage fanfic 'writers' from LA.
There is no artistic merit, no creativity, no humor, no attention to detail, no tension, no romance, no reason for this formula of a movie to exist outside of selling ad-space. I refuse to believe anyone involved in this project thought they were producing anything of value. It seems to me Amazon asked for the lowest cost marketable 90 minute filler and those involved used that as an excuse to pick up a no-effort paycheck.
