Movie #1944 ........................."Lovebirds" (streaming netflix)

Movie #1944 "Lovebirds" (netflix streaming)" --- well, this was recommended to us and I'm glad it was because it really turns the rom-com genre on its head --- very silly, awkward, but charming in its own way --- we had guests and they laughed out loud and much of this film, just because it was so goofy.  Maybe if I just told you the premise, then you could decide.  Two people have a relationship , and it is waning down, and just when they are talking about breaking up, they are involved in a crime, and they spend the rest of the film trying to get out of the situations the crime has put them into.  If you are looking for something very different, but funny and you are willing to suspend your belief somewhat, check this out.  Very entertaining.   I'd give it 4 stars out  of 5.

"LOVEBIRDS"    2020    1 hour and 27 mins     rated R

A fizzling romance.  A shocking crime.  A ridiculous plan.  They can't even figure out their relationship.    How will they solve a murder?  
Director:  Michael Showalter
Actors:  Issa Rae, Kumail Nanjiani
quirky, non reverent
