Review of The Big Sick (2017) by Rob O — 07 Sep 2017

I find that there is a common denominator between reviews that the majority of "respected" critics give in certain situations. I find that most do not want to give honest reviews on a movie which contains controversial subject matter.

For example; Movies about gay and/or lesbians, Movies about child or spousal abuse, Movies about being a Muslin in the western world etc. They seem to give movies like this a "free pass" no matter now much they suck.

I am not homophobic, racist or apathetic to the issues of today's world, but I will not compromise my opinion on how I feel about a movie because the subject matter is a delicate one. I have more respect for a critic who will give an honest review no matter what backlash he/she can expect to get.

As for this movie. I feel that it has far too high of ratings. I do love the main actor in "Silicone Valley", but in this movie, his acting falls too short as does the rest of the cast. It's not funny, the story line it weak, the direction is virtually nonexistent and the acting .

...well...it's of the same calibre as you would find in your local high school production.
