Review of The Big Sick (2017) by Scraper — 13 Aug 2017
The Big Sick is an earnest movie. I just can't help but feel Apatow is cobbling together pieces of his other films. The relationship struggles of Knocked Up, getting over an illness like 50/50, and amateur comedians like Funny People.
The comedy was very mild and the relationship felt lukewarm. The Pakistani struggling against his culture was interesting but the girl just seemed ordinary. These aforementioned elements have been done more intensely before.
Of course they play out with little to no twist.
