What raises this above director Paul Murphy's genial debut, Second Hand Wedding (2003), are the delightful performances of Hawkins and Darby. Go to Full Review Alex Behan The Post NZ 07/02/2021
While it doesn't take any big risks, it manages enough laughs to keep it moving, with a diverse cast, lots of Queen songs and even a good, old-fashioned overly competitive pub quiz. What's not to like? Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com 06/21/2012

There's a duck, a comedian, an award-winner, and Queen. Love Birds really shouldn't go wrong, yet it can't help but overcook simple ingredients. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Catherine O 01/28/2024 It's funny, a bit corny but in a good way, and features Rhys Darby, a duck, and a lot of Queen music. What's not to like? See more 01/03/2022 The only saving grace was the forever wonderful Sally Hawkins, who tried the best she could to make do with the abysmal script/writing. See more lariste l 12/25/2018 Respected director, hit NZ comic and Sally Hawkins get together with a script by a guy that appeared in a minor role in "Braindead", (or "Dead Alive" in some markets) - this film however is not worth seeing, it has the resonance and flow of a NZ television commercial for insurance or Toyota cars focusing on stuff about ducks, romance with wooden performances that don't really push the story along a great deal. Poster design is derivative also. See more 05/30/2018 A predictable and overlong romantic comedy. See more 04/17/2018 slow but entertaining. See more @c0urtn3y 03/24/2018 this was cute. Rhys Darby was sort of attractive in this film, as was Sally Hawkins. not a bad movie at all. See more Read all reviews
