Review of The Big Sick (2017) by Acacia — 13 Jul 2017
This is a wonderful movie! I really enjoyed it, start to finish. Loved seeing the contrast between the two families and the cultural differences. The fact that it is a true story makes it so much more fun to watch.
Kumail Nanjiani stars as himself, a Pakistani stand up comic just trying to get noticed in Chicago. One night he is "heckled" by an American girl, Emily, who catches his eye. They definitely have a spark between them, but love is not always easy, as they find out.
We see Kumail with his family at dinner where his mother always acts surprised when another one of her Pakistani prospective brides "drops by". Kumail knows if he pursues a serious romance with Emily, he will lose his family.
They will disown him. Through circumstances, Kumail meets Emily's parents, wonderfully played by Ray Romano and Holly Hunter. Their first meeting does not go well. Holly Hunter is often hilarious as she says whatever is on her mind.
Everone is oerfect I their role and the story is interesting and fun.
