Um Crime para Dois

It's a fun, easy watch with a couple good laughs sprinkled in. It's one of those movies we've all seen dozens of times, and there's a certain mindless comfort that comes with movies like this.

As long as you aren't looking for anything groundbreaking, and don't take it too seriously, this is an enjoyable popcorn movie.

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.

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!

This film is very hit or miss. At times it can be really funny. For example one of the first scenes of the leads as a couple in their apartment is great. I think it really gets how couples are and how they argue about trivial things and they make it really funny.

But the film can get bogged down by the jokes that don't land and can kinda make you cringe slightly.

Issa Rea is great and probably my favourite part of the movie. Most of her lines land and don't get me wrong Kumail is really good to but some of his line do fall flat.

The plot is also kinda predictable and basic but it doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

I also noticed that Netflix basically did zero promotion for this movie which I found strange but Iv have kind of come to expect that from Netflix.

So it's an easy watch and you'll get a few laughs I'd say give it a watch

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.
