"The Big Sick" was a true delightful treat to watch. Backed-up with amazing performances from the whole cast, the plotline sheds light on a very important social aspect that stops this film from being an average rom-com and turns it into a truly thought-provoking relatable movie, that takes on a story, although already depicted in previous movies, in a fresh way with new light.

Not only does it discuss a `forbidden` inter-racial relationship, but it also focuses on the relationship between the boyfriend and his girlfriend's parents, rather than with the girlfriend herself, and that's new and original.

The characters are very lovable (Emily's parents are my absolute favorites, I loved them), and the humor makes you giggle all while staying so simple and charmingly-effortless. The two-hours length is surprisingly well-fitting, for the film was made to entertain during each second of them.
