"The Lovebirds"

"A long days journey into a crazy night" is how I'd describe this movie. A couple, played by Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiari, witness a murder on their way to a dinner party. Then all hell breaks loose. They're pursued by the police and the murderer. It reminded me a little of "After Hours" in that, just when you think things can't get any crazier, they do. I though the dialogue was extremely well done and the two leads had incredible chemistry. They play of each other perfectly and you have to pay close attention to get all their funny comments. Often, they're speaking over each other and you're tempted to back up the movie and replay the scene. I hope the two work together on more films.
4 out of 5 stars
