Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4853414, member: 833"] The [B]Big Sick [/B](2017 - on Amazon Prime) starring Kumail Nanjani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter and Ray Romano is a really good romcom. It is heavily based on Nanjani's own experience starting as a comedian and his relationship with his girlfriend then wife Emily Gordon who co-wrote the movie with him. I do not know if the main twist in the middle of the movie actually happened. It is very funny, but also very visceral emotionally without being manipulative. It is just a movie about regular people trying to live their lives focused on Nanjani and Kazan negotiating the beginning of a relationship. Najani and Romano are underrated actors, and Holly Hunter does not chew the scenery (or eat the whole set) like she usually does. The movie doesn't pretend to be any more or less than it is, and it just works. I am surprised I hadn't found this earlier. Strongly recommend. [/QUOTE]
