David SimsFeb 6, 2020what if you cheered during my standup routine and i told you that your heckling really threw me off and you replied that you weren’t heckling, you were just doing a ‘woohoo’, and i informed you that it’s actually a common misconception but heckling doesn’t always have to be…

An exceptionally enjoyable rom-com with solid performances from everyone involved. You can tell this was a passion project for Kumail and his wife, it comes across so strongly in this funny, heartfelt film. Ray Romano's voice is like butter in any movie he's in so there's…
James (Schaffrillas)Jul 13, 201780 The distinction here is 'truth'. This is a real tale, written about real personalities and events and moments, but The Big Sick is imbued with a gentle understanding of what makes itself effective for the silver screen. It's achingly aware of the story's limitations,…

Ky likedThe Big SickRay & Kumail together was such a good combo. A little disappointed by ending, but I’m a lover girl at heart so I always want that big theatrical reunion. Solid story nonetheless :) EDIT: oh my god it’s completely based on his relationship w his wife. I take it back. Crying.
- Jordan dislikedThe Big Sick
I don’t know what I missed as it seems this was a widely loved movie, but I couldn’t stand it. The acting was bad, the characters were nowhere near believable, the plot was boring, and none of the jokes came even close to landing. I’m surprised I even managed to finish it.
Sam Ehlers lovedThe Big Sick9/10 Absolutely hilarious. Kumail Nanjiani has such good comedic timing. Loads of heart in this film as well. I found myself teary eyed a couple of times while watching. The fact that this was based off his real life events as well made it that much more enjoyable.
Tectash likedThe Big SickA good heartfelt romantic comedy. The chemistry among the cast is undeniable and charming. It really feels like it's a true test of what someone will go through who truly has your back. The comedy is nice and the heartfelt moments feel genuinely done.

Lawndawn lovedThe Big SickAbsolutely hilarious, and makes you feel all the feels. It’s awesome to see a romcom where the parents play a role in the story besides being in the way of their relationship or being a comedic device. It’s about so much yet it feels so contained.
nevan lovedThe Big Sickan impressive dramedy with an excellent script and amazing performances, consistently funny and entertaining with smartly used mature themes and jokes. kumail nanjiani is such a real and dedicated lead, his story is refreshingly human and unique
Matt likedThe Big SickI was really surprised how good this was. It’s brilliantly acted by the whole cast and especially by Kamali Nunjali . Great script and characters here. It’s got some surprises too. It’s pretty original and theirs so many funny scenes

Very well written and super cute movie, great banter. I cried, I laughed, I absolutely loved it. And it was a true story?! Doesn't get better. The acting was amazing as well.
PDPraneet DuttaWe slept off
BCBrandon CarneyThe plot was slow, but also sweet. I expected it to be a bit more comical but that's just based on my sense of humor, the ending felt a bit rushed.

Best romantic comedy in years...
ABAdib ButtThe best!
CKChavi KLiked the expression of disease in the movie , I never thought there could be a disease of healthy tissue of the body being affected because antibodies think the healthy to be diseased. Quite medically sound movie. Plus the subtle racism that has been hinted at quite…

Laughed so much that it hurt and cried just as much
ANAndie NichterA very sweet and insightful movie about how the main character met his actual wife and what he went through.
BBbrian brianWe really enjoyed it.

The Big Sick makes good use of some vintage Nanjiani 9/11 comebacks, some winning (if not new) backstage backbiting comedy club observations and marvelous, heartfelt work by three great actors who carry their leading man and his overlong, not-a-million-laughs “personal” story across the finish line.

Nanjiani is engaging throughout, though the scenes of his standup routine are a little confusing. He’s not funny, not even slightly. Is he supposed to be? That’s not clear.

For the vast majority of its running time, The Big Sick astutely pulls you between the twin poles of agony and glee.
