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.
