Review of The Lovebirds (2020) by Professorfett — 06 Jun 2020
The Lovebirds a movie you normally would have to pay to see in theaters went straight to Netflix due to recent events. I can say for a Netflix movie it isn't terrible. I know that is glowing praise, but if I were to pay to see this in theaters I would be less then generous to it.
The Lovebirds is a romantic comedy where if you watch the trailer you have seen all the jokes basically. That is a huge problem that trailer had me thinking that this film was going to be a side splitting good time.
Instead I got a passable comedy. I do mean it is passable due to the fact you will laugh at some of the jokes... but not many. The plot focuses on a couple who end up being accessories to a murder from a guy claiming to be a cop, and the comedy ensues.
Some may find Kumail Nanjiani annoying due to how he is complaining the entire film. It didn't bother me, but be warned he is the exact character he was in Stuber. Issa Rae playing (his girlfriend) actually has the best jokes in the movie.
These two are likable just the movie isn't that funny. If you have Netflix by all means still check it out for a movie you for the most part spend no money on it is worth that.
