New on DVD: Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani are Lovebirds on the run
Tribune Content Agency
A movie about a normal couple that find themselves at the center of a murder mystery tops the DVD releases for the week of June 8. The Lovebirds : Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani star as Leilani and Jibran, a couple on the rocks after years of dating who have their lives upended while driving one day. Their car is commandeered and used to commit a vehicular homicide, setting them on a dangerous journey to clear their names of the murder.
The film reunites Nanjiani with director Michael Showalter, who also helmed the actor s breakout hit, The Big Sick. As with that previous outing, Showalter is unflashy, efficient and willing to let the performers fully take the spotlight, says Los Angeles Times critic Mark Olsen in his Lovebirds review.

This time, there would be checks and balances instead of just an exasperated speech by Captain Donald Cragen (Dann Florek) or solemn head shake from Detective (now Captain) Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay).
