Plot: On the brink of breaking up, a couple (Issa Rae & Kumail Nanjiani) experiences a defining moment in their relationship when they unintentionally embroiled in a murder mystery. As their journey to clear their names takes them from one extreme and hilarious circumstance to the next, they must figure out how they, and their relationship, can survive the mischief night!
My Movie Review: The movie is funnier than expected the mishap make this work it's about a couple whose relationship is put to the test when a crime upends their visit to a friend's house:) The Lovebirds is a little hard to rate as the film equally has stuff I liked and disliked jokes are hit-and-miss not the best that we've seen Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani but enjoyable at most:) Driving one evening to a dinner party, they have other argument and realize their relationship is over then they crash into murderous criminal situation run off involving an occult secret society! Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae are both good and have decent chemistry but the film lets them down with its poor, bland, and lazily-written script. There are few minutes with genuine laughs but ultimately, 'The Lovebirds' just felt tired by the end of its actually short run the amazing race footage make look cheap and final fight scene is less thrilling than it should be quite off putting! Saving it is the crisis activates the stars' comedic chops and provides the film with its best bits:)
Critics Consensus: If the breezily enjoyable The Lovebirds feels like a little less than the sum of its parts, it's still an enjoyable showcase for the talents of its well-matched stars. Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani display expert timing as the unhappy couple caught up a deadly criminal case. It is unlikely to be remembered as anything more than a diversionary lark. But it does stand as a testament to the ways in which the right actors can elevate even the most lackluster of material. An innocuous and lightweight but likable and funny screwball crime comedy. Even if you can sort of guess where things are going much of the time, it is still fun to watch them get there. The Lovebirds might have underwhelmed in a movie theater but works just fine in the very different circumstances in which it has been unveiled. Here's the thing this movie isn't very good. In fact it's forgettable and not that funny. I just finished it an hour ago and it's starting to drift from my memory already. They work well romantically, in my opinion...the love scenes are sweet and believable, sweet while it lasts though...they even argue like a real couple...for real:)
