Watch The Big Sick For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Movie is based, how an immigrant is stuck between two worlds, how adjusting in a foriegn country is difficult, while you are also taking along the traditions. Dont worry i have not spoiled the movie and this is not the plot. Kumail Nanjiani, a comedian is trying to hard with the jokes, while being normal. One or two jokes are there but the rest is little disappointing. Best actor Anupam Kher is wasted. Pretty Shenaz Treasury is hardly in the movie, was she even in the titles? Nevertheless, its not a 7 but somewhere between a 5 or 6. Good for weekend when you have nothing better.

Chronicling the semi-autobiographical story of the courtship of a real-life inter-racial couple, "The Big Sick" is a drama rom-com set in Chicago. Stand-up comedian of Pakistani-origin, Kumail Nanjiani (playing himself) and an American psychology student Emily Gardner (Zoe Kazan, "What If...") couldn't struggle long enough to keep their romance alive when one unfortunate day, Emily takes critically ill only to be put into an induced coma. What follows goes beyond the tests of conventional norms of human relationships which would shape the lives of one another.Kumail and the "real" Emily (now happily married) pen a tale that at its heart is about "togetherness". Carefully touching upon tedious conventional issues of arranged marriages and inter-cultural faith it thankfully doesn't make things too serious through its smart and often brainy humourous- exchanges. At the same time, the film freely steps away from the stereotype of sacrificing family for love and vice-versa. In a scene, Kumail comes to dinner to his parents (Anupam Kher and Zenobia Shroff, "Ek Mai aur Ekk Tu") who disowned him for falling for a non-Muslim, where he adeptly declares via conversation display cards that "he refuses to allow them to reject him". Similarly, before Emily's surgery while still in medical coma, her parents (Oscar winner Holly Hunter and Ray Romano, "Everybody Loves Raymond") enter the film with an air of parental protectiveness which though, staunch and skeptic grows upon the viewers quite like the way it did for Kumail in both reel and real-life. What's subtly remarkable in the film is the usage of "stand-up" performance portions. "Heckling" marks the first meeting occasion for our protagonists; plus, as a spot when Emily's distraught parents lashing out a racist attendee in one of Kumail's bits and later, improving their bond with him. And then at a beautiful climax, when a heckle calls back a gush of heartwarming emotions.So, is "The Big Sick" an overly sensitive film? Yes and No. Some may call it "excessively pleasant" citing it carries a thoroughly positive undercurrent without overflowing its goodness factor. However, it doesn't get mushy about romance and depicts a multitude of human-bonds without overstaying the spot. Involving some heavily seasoned writing skills (a rightful Academy Award nomination for the Best Original Screenplay) with one of the best casting choices (esp. with Zoe and Holly), it won't be an exaggeration to call it one amongst the marvels of the previous year's new-age independent English cinema which righteously deserves to be watched and remembered.A homely-likable 8.25/10

Well a good movie have to mentioned small little sides and "The Bid Sick" do that very well. You feel happy when you look at clothes, watch people eating and see a group of youngs do stand-up comedy. After all the collection of komail from the period of hospital was fantastic.

This movie is very emotional and very very real its like watching a good reality show (i dont know if this exists). But really Ive watched many movies that are based on true stories but this one is the very unique and just so beautiful.
