Pakistan-born comedian Kumail Nanjiani and grad student Emily Gardner fall in love but struggle as their cultures clash. When Emily contracts a mysterious illness, Kumail finds himself forced to face her feisty parents, his family's expectations, and his true feelings.  

The Big Sick is a welcome jolt to the ailed Romantic Comedy genre, bringing it back to life with depth and wit - a hugely enjoyable, lovable comedy/drama.
