The big sick: I can relate

The big sick is a movie about a Pakistani man falling in love with an American woman. It is based on a true story, from the life events of Kumail Nanjiani. To me, it is one of the best movies of the year!


The premise of the story is by no means supposed to be funny, but the movie is surprisingly funny! You think that the movie will be melodramatic, but again to my surprise, the movie is really lifelike. None of the actors tries to overact or go over the top. The movie is refreshing because of its lifelike nature.


Kumail Nanjiani is a terrific actor and portrays himself to perfection. I really like his family, because it is exactly like mine. But what really elevates the story is the second act. When Emily gets sick and Kumail has to spend a ton of time with her family. Emily's parents were terrific and funny, especially Holy Hunter! She hates Kumail at first and the way they end up liking each other is terrific. The comedy club scene where Kumail is insulted for being a Pakistani is golden.


The only gripe I have with the movie is its runtime. It could be a lot smaller and tighter and could have been finished earlier.


I will keep it short, and would highly recommend you to give it a look. Trust me you will love it. I would love to see more of Kumail Nanjiani in the future, he looks to be a very versatile actor.
