Are 'The Lovebirds' Worth 1-1/2 Hours Of Your Time?

Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani co-star in 'The Lovebirds'

DETROIT (WWJ) - What do you think of when you hear the word lovebirds? If you're like a lot of people, you probably think about two people who are always making googly-eyes at one another, and who are always being touchy-feely.  

In the newly-released movie 'The Lovebirds', when they first get together, young couple, Leilani and Jibran (played by Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani) are just like that; they just can't seem to get enough of one another.  But, my how things change four years later.  They're still a couple, but their relationship isn't quite so happy anymore. 

You can hear my complete review by listening to the podcast below.
