Review of The Lovebirds (2020) by Rcavey92212 — 11 Jul 2020

I remember seeing this trailer in theaters. I couldn't wait for it, it looked so hilarious. I'm a big fan of the brilliant Issa Rae because of HBO's awesome series Insecure. I'm also a fan of sexy Kumail Nanjiani (Stuber) I find his humor clever. Of course coronavirus happened and theaters closed and it looked like I would have to wait a while. Lucky for me Netflix picked it up and released it on my birthday. I went in with decent expectations and I was mostly satisfied. The movie centers around the two actors whose relationship is falling apart.

Suddenly they find themselves on the run after a supposed cop commanders his car and runs down a man. Fearful they will be blamed for the murder they flee and than try and solve the crime as they run from the increasing group of criminals and cops. The movie is funny and the actors deliver solid performances. But the material could have used a bit more development and because of that it feels a bit stunted. That being said it's still an enjoyable flick, it's just not very memorable.
