The premise
Here’s the bit.
Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake play Andy and Raif, two extravagantly styled R&B singers who believe their girlfriends will love a homemade present involving gift-wrapped boxes worn at their waists. The earnest ballad, romantic close-ups and synchronized moves make their crude idea look like a lavish music video. Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig play the recipients, while a waterfront performance eventually attracts the police.
