When Pakistan-born aspiring comedian Kumail (Nanjiani) connects with grad student Emily (Zoe Kazan) after one of his standup sets, what they thought would be just a one-night stand blossoms into the real thing. But this further complicates the life that is expected of Kumail by his traditional Muslim parents.
Then Emily is beset with a mystery illness forcing Kumail to navigate the medical crisis with her parents, (Holly Hunter and Ray Romano) who he’s never met while dealing with the emotional tug-of-war between his family and his heart.

We really liked this film, calling it ‘deeply personal and heartfelt.’ Some more from our original review which we posted on the site on Friday afternoon.
Everyone has a ‘story of us’, but Kumail and Emily have one which has one a little bit more unique to everyone else. While its clear as to how things end up, The Big Sickprovides one of the loveliest, utterly-hilarious, though very sincerely heartfelt films of the year so far – a near perfect date movie too. It’s excellent.
The film is full of superb performances, Nanjiani playing himself with warmth, sincerity, humility and lots of humbleness, Emily very much portrayed – by the extremely talented Zoe Kazan – as the more hardened of the two. She’s awesome, as is Holly Hunter in a superb comedic performance.
