Review of The Big Sick (2017) by Brian S — 20 Oct 2017
Very good, thoughtful true story. Movie-wise, I guess you classify it as a rom-com - and therefore it becomes one of the best romcoms in quite awhile. A lot of laughs in there and the love story is good.
On a side-note, I bloody hate the Pakistani racists; they, and certain Indians and whatnot, always seem to get a pass with their behavior like every other race is not good enough to marry their children.
The disappointed mother is shown as almost sympathetic instead of the odious racist that she would be if she was a white American mother who was going to disown her son for being in love with a Pakistani.
But whatever. As far as this movie goes, it is just part of the deal. It happened. That aside, there are a few missteps along the way but it comes together really well. I love Zoe Kazan. 8.1 out of 10.
