Pretty Good
best movie i've ever seen.
The acting in this movie is really good.
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.
We've got a good cast: Romano, Hunter, Bryant all support Kumail and Zoe in a tender little film about finding love.I have to explain some things: I was off in a parallel universe from mid 1990, so I hadn't seen SNL or Everyone Loves Raymond or really, any television since then. But some culture managed to seep in, so I know who Ray Romano is, one of my favourite movies is "ALWAYS" with Holly Hunter, and I like Aidy Bryant.I'm a HUGE fan of stand up. Every Sunday evening was capped by the Improv, something that I've missed for a quarter century.You'll enjoy this movie if you like behind the scenes moments, the insanity of home life, and how a lasting relationship can blossom. It manages to come full circle in a very lyrical way.
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.
From start to finish The Big Sick delivers laughs and emotion that draws you in further and further until you fall in love with these characters.
When a true story is so stunning it becomes a film. This is not a joke film where they go over the top for laughs. It's a true story and it feels like it. Genuine fun. They tweeked it just a little so that some events are more obvious but they remain true feelings for us. Great story that becomes a great film that can make you think. Intelligent and sensible throughout.
