THE LOVEBIRDS – MOVIE REVIEW


Together, Kumail Nanijani and Issa Rae make an unforgettable duo as Jibran and Leilani, the once-perfect couple at the heart of THE LOVEBIRDS. After an unforeseen accident changes the trajectory of their relationship, the duo is sent careening through New Orleans on a madcap adventure where they are stalked by a mysterious gunman, kidnapped by a demented senator’s wife and nearly initiated into an underground sex cult (not to mention Jibran’s unpleasant encounter with the hind end of a horse). Through it all, the constantly bickering couple must find a way to set aside their differences if they hope to survive—and avoid serious jail time.
