Featured review
some potential for comedic duo
Leilani (Issa Rae) and Jibran (Kumail Nanjiani) are new lovebirds in New Orleans. Four years later, they're fighting about everything from marriage to The Amazing Race. They agree to break up when suddenly Jibran drives over a bicyclist. It's the start of a ridiculous murder mystery while they go on the run from the cops.
First, I wouldn't do what they did. It's just stupid to run away like that. I would just wait for the cops and demand for a lawyer. At least, drive away in your own car. Obviously, the cops will track the car back to you. I guess Lyft is a little funny but it's no excuse to do something that stupid. Then I wonder if it's less awkward to not breakup before the incident. I understand the idea of them falling back in love but the breakup makes the relationship too angry. The two actors have enough bite that they don't need the anger to spice things up. I like the actors and I want to like these character more than I actually do. Another needed change is a traffic camera picture for the interrogation room. The twist is obvious but the picture is the missing piece in setting it up. This comedic duo holds some good potential but they need more loving chemistry to solidify a good coupling.
