This trailer is SFW, unless you make it weird by moaning over the unapologetic sex appeal of this rom-com’s dynamic duo.
Here’s the official plot synopsis for The Lovebirds:
A couple (Issa Rae & Kumail Nanjiani) experiences a defining moment in their relationship when they are unintentionally embroiled in a murder mystery.
