Funny enough for me to keep me entertained.

When I saw Kumail Nanjianis name in the cast I knew I would have a good time watching this comedy. I don't know if I can see him in anything else than a comedy and that's fine. He just has that kind of funny face. Stuber was the last movie I enjoyed from him and now it will be The Lovebirds. Don't expect anything too serious though, it's just a mild rom-com with a little crime investigation to spice it up, but there are enough funny moments to keep you entertained. The two main characters are played by Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani, and it works good. The Lovebirds isn't great cinema, but it doesn't pretend to be, it's just a good moment of easy comedy, a genre that we all need at some point.

Not Exactly Original, but still Fun

Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani make for an instantly believable couple. The first moments of "The Lovebirds" establish that these two have obvious chemistry, they seem like a real couple (maybe even one that you know),and most importantly, they're undeniably likable. The entire success of the movie hinges upon the actors' ability to be charming and witty and enjoyable as a duo. If they do not play off each other in a fun and funny way, no viewer is going to want to hang out with them for 90 minutes.

Fortunately, these two have chemistry in spades. It's their genuine connection and Michael Showalter's directing flair that keep the movie tumbling along in a semi-coherent direction despite a plot with holes large enough to fit a small yacht.

In the ilk of fellow couples comedies like "Date Night" and "Game Night," "The Lovebirds" takes place over the course of a single day - at least, aside from the opening scene depicting the couple fully engulfed in the early honeymoon stage of their relationship. Jump ahead four years and we see the two of them suddenly arguing about the most frivolous of hypotheticals. The one we witness happens to be about how well they would fare as contestants on The Amazing Race. It's a funny and seemingly ridiculous conversation since they certainly will not ever find themselves involved in such circumstances. But then they witness a murder, flee the scene, evade the police, and believe that they need to investigate the situation themselves to prove their innocence. From there, they are forced to follow a set of enigmatic clues leading them in a desperate dash from one destination to the next. It's their very own amazing race to avoid prison.

Each scene rolls rapidly into the next and the banter crackles with just as much energy. The filmmakers hope the pacing and humor will provide enough joy that viewers will not stop laughing long enough to scrutinize the feasibility of the story. It mostly works out fine, thanks to the co-stars.

By the time the ride rolls to halt, there are enough unanswered questions and jokes left untold for a sequel. If the opportunity for a second round should ultimately arise, most would happily accept. Count me in for "The Lovebirds 2."

Journey together

I understand if you watch this and don't like it. Tastes differ and that is more than ok. What I don't get is, calling this boring. You can call this a full range of things, but boring? Interesting choice to describe, but ultimately you'll lose my respect and your opinion may be void to me. The movie starts off like a romantic comedy and it really looked like it for some time. If it continued like that, I'd understand if you thought or felt this was boring. But it didn't ... it changes pace and goes places I didn't expect it to go.

Then again, I never watch trailers, so I guess if you watch the trailer and then the movie, maybe you are able to think or feel this is boring. Don't blame the movie though, that really gives it its best shot. Not to mention the very charismatic leads. Both of which are great. Now overall the comedy is silly and even when there is "danger" there is always a whiff of lightness to it. Now that might be something you may really have issues with - be aware of that, if you consider watching this. It can be great fun, if it is your cup of tea!
