However, the police put that concern to bed, telling Jibran and Leilani that they were clearly never suspects and that they’ve been tracking the mysterious cult for weeks. Ultimately, the detectives send them home with a police escort, asking them to come back in the morning and provide their statements. Unfortunately, their escort is the stranger who hijacked their car at the beginning of the film. He is a cop, but he’s a corrupt cop, and for the second time that night, they’re tied up and held hostage.
Earlier in the film, Jibran and Leilani had wondered why cars still have cigarette lighters instead of outlets, and in this crucial moment, the lighter turns out to be their savior. By commandeering the lighter while their captor is out of the car, the two manage to escape and bring him to justice.
After a terrifying, harrowing night, Jibran and Leilani start to reconsider their breakup, wondering why they ever even split in the first place. Realizing they don’t actually want to part ways, the two reunite, and one year later, they’ve embarked on a new adventure together. After their argument at the beginning of the film, the two finally make it onto The Amazing Race, and they’re about to win a leg in London when they come up against Jibran’s newly found worst nightmare… horses.
If you’re looking for a fun romp with two charming, hilarious leads, look no further than The Lovebirds, which is streaming on Netflix now.
