The classic rom-com is given a non-traditional spin in “The Lovebirds,” now streaming on Netflix. The honeymoon is over for couple Leilani (Issa Rae) and Jibran (Kumail Nanjiani), who’ve decided to split up after a couple of years together. Seconds after breaking up in their car on the way to a party, a strange man runs out in front of them and Jibran accidentally hits him. A cop suddenly commandeers their vehicle and runs down the man, killing him. Crazy things happen, and the two become unintentionally embroiled in a murder mystery.

The story is fun, even if there isn’t much to it. The pair, who flee the scene and run from the cops because they are afraid of being blamed for the murder, have a series of misadventures as they race through New Orleans attempting to solve the crime. Since the film stars an African-American and Pakistani-American, it touches on social issues that reflect the different reactions that two people of color have to the situation versus how two white characters would likely behave if faced with the same predicament. It’s a fresh, modern take on a formulaic narrative.

The jokes are mostly funny and the leads have a terrific chemistry, even if their delivery is full of over-the-top gestures and line readings that play to the balcony. The blending of a romantic comedy with a mystery / adventure story is fun, but this movie probably would’ve felt like even more of a letdown if it had been released in theaters.

“The Lovebirds” isn’t great, but it provides mindless escapism that works as a home streaming flick, and is entertaining because of its very likeable, charismatic comedic leads.

If you’ve been following me for long enough, you know I’m not the biggest fan of rom-coms, particularly when the film is almost exclusive to this genre. The Lovebirds mixes up the latter with a crime-mystery plot, so I was surprisingly interested in watching this Netflix (ex-Paramount) flick. I don’t have a definite opinion on Kumail Nanjiani as an actor since I’ve only seen The Big Sick, a film I admire, but I don’t really share the love that many people have for it. I do like his stand-up routines, though. And it’s the first time I see Issa Rae on screen, so … what do I think about them?

They’re undoubtedly the best part of this movie. It might be expected for some people, but I genuinely didn’t know how this pair would work together. Kumail and Issa share impeccable chemistry, carrying the whole story on their shoulders, especially when the entertainment level starts to decrease due to the generic, dull narrative. Their comedic range and timing are really great, but the script only allows for occasionally good jokes. Issa gives the strongest performance out of the two, by far. She’s able to balance her comedic and dramatic expressions quite well, something I can’t really write about Kumail.

I’m not going to lie: the two fantastic lead performances and scattered laughs here and there aren’t enough to hold my interest. The screenplay is packed with the genre’s formulaic plot points, ridiculous narrative/character decisions, and cringe-worthy dialogues. This last issue becomes worse as time goes by. There’s a specific type of scene repeated throughout the film in an annoying quantity. It’s one of those tiresome, hard to understand, truly irritating dialogues where they’re talking over each other for comedy’s sake, acting like fools, and it just doesn’t work for me.

The plot on itself is hilarious, and not in a good way. To be clear, Michael Showalter does an excellent job of establishing the lighthearted tone, making one of those movies where the viewer isn’t supposed to take things too seriously. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this, but there has to be a limit to how much the viewer needs to simply accept and go with it. I watched the film with the right mentality, but some character decisions are baffling. I don’t really have that much to write.

The main characters have clear personalities and motivations. Their relationship has a well-developed arc. Technically, it doesn’t have anything remarkable, but it also doesn’t possess any faults. It’s as cliche as hundreds of other rom-coms with the difference that it features two POC protagonists. Not trying to diminish this fact in any way, but diversity isn’t automatically a sign of a “good movie”, as much as people try to insinuate it. To be completely honest, it contributes very little to nothing when it comes to making a film better or worse unless it’s a movie that actually develops the diversity thematic. The Lovebirds could have a heterosexual relationship between two white people or a homosexual one with two POC characters or anything else… With this screenplay and jokes, it would feature the exact same problems.

All in all, The Lovebirds boasts two wonderful performances from Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae, but the latter steals the spotlight. They push through the film’s issues with phenomenal chemistry and do their best to overcome their script’s limitations. Despite a few good jokes, Michael Showalter’s flick doesn’t do enough to separate itself from other existent rom-coms. Diversity doesn’t instantly transform a movie into a “good film”, especially when the narrative is packed with the genre’s repetitive plot points, cliches, and silly character’s decisions. Some dialogues are genuinely cringe-worthy, and even eye-rolling at some points. However, I admit that I’m not the best person to recommend this movie or not. The humor didn’t work for me, but it can easily be extremely efficient for someone else. Therefore, if rom-coms are “your thing”, I won’t oppose to giving this film a chance.

Rating: C

Ultimately just boring
I was hopeful, going in to The Lovebirds, because I’d read reviews praising the chemistry and likeability of the leads. That they are likeable is true enough, and there are a couple of jokes in there somewhere too but the plot is weak and, for a short feature film, it dragged like hell. I thought it was about 25 minutes longer than it was. The best bits are when they couple are just talking about their problems. They could have made a modern Before Sunrise, but instead they made a bellow average murder mystery. Shame.

This is a fun romantic comedy to kill some time but may be a movie you only need to see once
The Love Birds (2020) is a movie the Mrs and I were excited to see upon its release. The storyline focuses on a struggling couple whose relationship is about to end when one final bad experience causes them to put their heads together and try to work their way out of a bad situation. A random man jumps into their car claiming to be a police officer then uses the car to kill someone leading to them being blamed for the murder. Instead of going to the police they work together to try and find the killer. This move is directed by Michael Showalter (The Baxter) and stars Issa Rae (Insecure) and Kumail Nanjiani (Stuber). The storyline is as you’d expect for this genre, a bit cheesy, unpredictable and inconsistent. There are some funny one-liners and sequences; however, the dynamic/chemistry between the main characters didn’t seem to be there. Their engagement felt a little forced and unnatural at times. It didn’t take away from some of their zingers being funny, but took away from many of the scenes feeling authentic. Overall, this is a fun romantic comedy to kill some time but may be a movie you only need to see once. I’d score it a 5.5-6/10.
