''The Lovebirds'' is a 2020 RomCom starring Creator/IssaRae and Creator/KumailNanjiani, and directed by Creator/MichaelShowalter.
Leilani (Rae) and Jibran (Nanjiani) are a New Orleans-based couple who's relationship is on its last legs. On the way to a friend's party, one of their frequent arguments becomes too spiteful, and they mutually agree to end their relationship. Just at that moment, their car injures a bicyclist, "Bicycle", who refuses aid and bikes away. Their car is then immediately commandeered (with them inside) by a mysterious mustached-man claiming to be a police officer. "Mustache" subsequently uses their car to murder the cyclist before fleeing the scene. Realizing that the police are unlikely to believe their story and will most likely blame them, Leilani and Jibran decide to go on the run while trying to track down Mustache.
Creator/ParamountPictures originally produced the film and had it scheduled for a wide release on April 3, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic closing theaters worldwide, the film rights were sold to Creator/{{Netflix}}, which released the film digitally on May 22, 2020.
