طيور الحب

This is a fun Friday night at home with your loved one and a bowl of popcorn. This is pretty by the numbers, but everyone involved is clearly having a great time so just hop on and join the ride. Some of it is even relatable. Issa and Kumail at first seem like an awkward pairing, but once the story skips 4 years they just have a great chemistry that keeps you hooked for the fun but brief 86 minutes.

If you've seen "Date Night", you've seen this movie. so, no spoilers. If you haven't seen it, don't read this. Couple headed out for a nice evening, their relationship at a standstill (break-up vs boredom), get involved in a crime, and rather than go to the police, it's off to solve the crime themselves. Same blackmailing scheme, same cop involvement, same climax at the waterfront, same kind black woman cop who knows they're not involved. I love the actors, and a couple of their remarks are funny, but if this HAD been released in theaters, it would have bombed the first weekend, and we'd never hear of it again. The quarantine might be the best thing to happen to it, since people will watch based on the actors' likability.
