Video Review – The Lovebirds (2020)

May 22, 2020 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno on the new Netflix movie, The Lovebirds…

Nailing the perfect romantic comedy is no easy task. Finding that balance between making us love the couple at the center of the film, and provide comedic hijinks can be a struggle for most, but not The Lovebirds. Join our critic EJ Moreno as he dives into the latest from Netflix, a laugh-out-loud comedy starring two of the best working today. Seriously, if you weren’t on the Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani bandwagon before Lovebirds, you will be after this hilarious romp.

Watch the review below, and be sure to head on over to our YouTube channel for more videos and exclusive content…

A couple (Issa Rae & Kumail Nanjiani) experiences a defining moment in their relationship when they are unintentionally embroiled in a bizarre crime. 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 night.

The Lovebirds is out on May 22nd, only on Netflix!
