Dos tórtolos

The best thing about this film is the witty dialogue and the repore between the two leads. It reminded me a bit of the old Thin Man films. It's a pleasant escape from these dark times and offers some much needed laughter.

This is a fun Friday night at home with your loved one and a bowl of popcorn.

This is pretty by the numbers, but everyone involved is clearly having a great time so just hop on and join the ride.

Some of it is even relatable. Issa and Kumail at first seem like an awkward pairing, but once the story skips 4 years they just have a great chemistry that keeps you hooked for the fun but brief 86 minutes.

An argumentative couple on the brink of ending their relationship, hits a cyclist with their car who doesn't get injured. Later they r approached by a cop who uses their car to pursue the same cyclist n rather than arresting the cyclist, the cop kills him with the couple's car. The couple flee the scene aft witnessing the murder. The husband wants them to turn themselves in, but the wife argues that their unbelievable story and racial profiling will ensure they are blamed for the crime. They try to pursue the matter n solve the mystery to clear their names. Well this may seem very similar to Date Night but this film has enuff funny moments, good pacing n lovely chemistry n acting. Coincidentally this is the second Kumail Nanjiani film aft Stuber I saw within a short period n both r very funny n light films to check out during this lockdown.

I thought the trailer was kind of bad so I was pleasantly surprised by how funny the movie was. Gotta give credit to Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae. I was a fan of Kumail from Silicon Valley and The Big Sick, but I had yet to see anything Issa Rae is in. Now I really want to watch Insecure. The film is also self aware, it's only around 90 minutes so it doesn't waste any time. Overall, solid comedy but I'm glad I watched it on Netflix rather than in a theater.

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!
