    This movie has everything - laughs, tears, fears. Best part is that it is based on real life events. Go see it!

    In spite of that terrible title (which seems to be designed to drive people away), it's surprisingly good. Unfortunately it introduces several characters who are quite interesting; but, it can't seem to resolve how to deal with them. And it kept stumbling into promising situations that it didn't have the wherewithal to explore further. For instance, I would've liked to know more about all those prospective Pakistani brides who were smart & funny & elegant. And those poor kids slaving away hopelessly with tired & terrible routines in the comedy clubs. And why did the hero absolutely need to have a blonde white woman who was written as being a bitch anyway. I would've liked an explanation.

    I'm so very glad I was able to this movie. It is everything promised and more. The actors were well chosen and the chemistry was obvious. I really enjoyed learning something from this. Absolutely a must see.

    I found it was really funny. I enjoyed how it emphasizes cultural differences in a funny way and it was not shy to poke fun at issues facing society today. The ending was predictable but cute

    Saw this movie with three friends. We all agreed it is a 5 star movie. Good mix of comedy and real life issues. Loved Holly Hunter's comedy club meltdown!!

    I enjoyed the movie. I like learning about different customs and traditions. I wish there were more movies like this one. I think what we understand takes the fear of out guessing. Thank you for picking my name.

    My friend and I loved this movie. It was touching, funny and heart-warming. A real life love story complicated by cultural impediments and a severe health crisis sensitively portrayed. Highly recommend!

    The Big Sick was a feel good comedy I've been waiting for, for a while. It's hits the mark of a perfect balance between drama, comedy, and romance. This movie is one of a few I'd recommended everyone watch!
