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

I really enjoyed this film - watched it with my partner and found it hilarious. Not to be taken too seriously! The dynamic between the main two is sweet and funny.

I found it funny and interesting throughout. Of course it had many stupid parts and can be considered cheesy comedy, but maybe I like such dunno. Plus it wasn't completely predictable

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly thought I was tuning in for 1 hour and 27 minutes of pure stupidity and nonsense when I pressed the play button for "The Lovebirds". I was kind of wrong. To be completely honest, I actually enjoyed this film. The screenplay was decent. I thought the jokes weren't too cheesy; I actually found them funny. The chemistry between Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae wasn't the worst. I definitely enjoyed Issa Rae's hilarious performance! Yes, part of the movie is completely absurd (especially the part where they were gullible enough to trust a sketchy-a*s man who claimed he was police and then they just SAT THERE AND WATCHED HIM RUN OVER SOME POOR DUDE LIKE WHAT IN THE WORLD??). But, I just found it entertaining, enjoyable, funny, thrilling even. (not the murder part btw lol).

I'm honestly glad "The Lovebirds" didn't premiere in theaters because it would've flopped financially FOR SURE.… Expand

I loved it! Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiami had a quirky energy and chemistry that was delightful to watch unfold. It isn’t Casablanca or The Princess Bride, but it is entertaining and a fun and fanciful distraction from the real world.
