The Lovebirds

Feels like a rough-cut – an unfinished movie. Bits of this are good and funny. But there are also moments that feel stale and clearly unnecessary. Why not trim them out? It’s as though the filmmakers were told the movie would no longer be coming out in theaters and just rush to finish it for Netflix. No market research will be allowed! There’s plenty of dramatic surprises and plenty of zingers. It could have been like Game Night, a comedy/thriller that gets more insane by the minute. But despite some laughs and manic energy, it lands roughly.
