Not sure why the critics have given this film such great reviews, other than the fact that one of the characters is a middle eastern brown Muslim person so gets at least 3 affirmative action bonus points.

Otherwise, completely predictable. "But it was based on a true story!" and "You couldn't make this kind of thing up!" cry the supporters of this film. If that's the case, Kumail Nanjiani is a really terrible person.

He constantly lies to everyone in his life. He can't man up enough to inform his parents that it's the 21st century in America and arranged marriages are a relic of outmoded traditions from over a thousand years ago.
