By Angelica Jade Bastien (65) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 25 May 2020

This is a film designed to be watched while performing a menial task — folding the laundry or washing dishes…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Brian Shaer (6) for Film Threat (5,156) on 24 May 2020

The film’s structural frenzy lends itself to lots of comic riffing from the leads that often results in hilarious one-liners…

If only they had ended their relationship at the apartment before getting into the car and going to the party…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Davrosdaleks1 (175) on 24 May 2020

Lovebirds, is about a couple (Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani) whom after being mistaken for the culprits of a murder go chasing after the real…

Big fan of Kumail Nanjiani in general, which is why I watched the movie…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Stream2Bigscree (201) on 23 May 2020

There is a typical comedy that seems to come out every summer that involves a couple in a rut, a strange turn of events, and its all resolved…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Oldaintdead (1) on 23 May 2020

The Lovebirds is ridiculous, but funny. No sensible humans would act like these two act, but if they'd been sensible there would be no movie…

Issa Rae & Kumail Nanjiani play a couple who are about to break up, when an accident turns into murder and sends them on the run…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 22 May 2020

Desperation loses out to resignation in The Lovebirds, a flailing couple-on-the-lam comedy that pairs up Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani, with…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Oliver Jones (215) for Observer (1,042) on 22 May 2020

It would be easy to put the blame here on the two stars; expect a lot of misguided chatter about Nanjiani and Rae’s lack of chemistry…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Tropicaces (322) on 22 May 2020

I love Issa Rae, but she and Nanjiani can only do so much with a script that runs out of jokes at the halfway mark…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Sturmhardt (12) on 22 May 2020

I like stupid comedies but this one just wasn't very funny. It was okay but really on the lower end. Watch only if you are REALLY bored…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Geometrical (6) on 22 May 2020

Not the best that we've seen Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani, but enjoyable nonetheless…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 21 May 2020

Thanks to the sure-handed, fast-paced work and creative framing by director Michael Showalter (an alum of “The State” who helmed the Nanjiani-starring…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Matt Zoller Seitz (637) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 21 May 2020

This is subtly acted by both leads, especially when the characters fall silent and you see shades of doubt and sadness flicker across their faces…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Time (1,811) on 21 May 2020

These two are both a little mad, and they’re made for each other; it takes this absurd mystery to make them see it…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Mark Olsen (451) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 21 May 2020

Rae and Nanjiani have a quicksilver chemistry, flashing from playful banter to genuine, hurtful arguing in an instant…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Helen O'hara (407) for Empire (3,446) on 21 May 2020

The plot is insubstantial in the extreme, but Rae and Nanjiani are so cool, and their loose, free-flowing improv so winning, that you probably…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Brian Lowry (913) for CNN (497) on 21 May 2020

Watching Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani riff off each other is intermittently fun, but that's all there is to recommend The Lovebirds, a dark,…

Review of The Lovebirds (2020)

By Steve Pond (235) for TheWrap (3,203) on 21 May 2020

Nanjiani and Rae are funny and likable people who try very hard to bring some life to this enterprise, but the action is too preposterous for…
