Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae’s ‘The Lovebirds<\/em><\/strong>‘ is not your average rom-com, it’s a murder mystery. Is this something\u00a0along the lines of Nancy Drew meets Hugh Grant?<\/p>\n

The Eternals<\/em><\/strong> actor shared the trailer for the film in a tweet.<\/p>\n

Issa Rae’s tweet really built up that mystery, captioned;<\/p>\n

“Every happy couple has one moment that defines their relationship.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the trailer, it all starts off as a regular rom-com and in the midst of Kumail’s character saying ‘I love you<\/em>‘, things take a turn for the worst.<\/p>\n

The Lovebirds<\/em><\/strong> isn’t so lovey-dovey when a ‘mysterious cop’ interrupts them before Issa’s character can say those three words back.<\/p>\n

That cop then uses their car with them sitting inside and runs over a cyclist, sucking them into a murder mystery. Yeah, I don’t think he’s really a cop now.<\/p>\n

Soon they’re on the lamb, in a dinner role-playing how to turn themselves in, which might mean dying in a ‘police encounter’.<\/p>\n

They opt for an alternative choice, to find the killer and clear their names.<\/p>\n

In a wild and hilarious ride,\u00a0they end up getting swept into the corruption of a secret society of powerful people.<\/p>\n

An Interracial Love Story?<\/h3>\n

According to Rae,<\/a> the movie was initially written with white actors in mind. That would have made this film much like Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston’s ‘Murder Mystery<\/em><\/strong>‘.<\/p>\n

Later the filmmakers opted to go for an inter-racial couple.<\/p>\n

“It’s not a story about race but we wanted to acknowledge our race and the fact that we’re an interracial couple.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s exciting to see a South Asian and African-American interracial couple. The last time we can recall that distinctly happening was in Mississippi Masala<\/em><\/strong>. The film cast\u00a0<\/span>Sarita Choudhury as ‘Mina’ and Denzel Washington as ‘Demetrius’.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When Mina’s family moved to the United States as immigrants running away from war, she meets Demetrius. A genuine ‘I’m in love with my best friend’ kind of romance blossoms between the two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tragically Mina’s family is opposed to this. Yet despite opposition from both their families over the racial differences, love conquers all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Directed by Michael Showalter, The Lovebirds<\/strong> cast Kumail Nanjiani, uniting the two on set after they teamed up on The Big Sick<\/em><\/strong>. Meanwhile, Issa Rae was last seen in Insecure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We’re looking forward to seeing her on the cinematic screen.<\/p>\n

The Lovebirds<\/em><\/strong> release date is April 3rd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
