‘The Big Sick’ tells a comic true story
And then there were three. Along with the two mainstream openings, a small, romantic comedy titled — however clumsily — "The Big Sick" is also opening on Friday.
"The Big Sick": Comic actor Kumail Nanjiani ("Silicon Valley") plays a Pakistani-American who feels torn between his feelings for his white girlfriend (Zoe Kazan) and the expectations that his parents have for his marrying a Pakistani woman. Nanjiani and his wife cowrote the screenplay, based on their own experience.
That's the lot. So go, see a movie. And enjoy.
