The Big Sick (Michael Showalter, June 23,2017) Movie

Based on the true story of the film’s writers (and real-life couple), Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani, this modern culture clash shows how Pakistan-born Kumail and his American girlfriend, Emily, have to overcome the expectations of his family and their 1,400-year-old traditions. As his parents relentlessly set him up with potential brides for an arranged marriage, Kumail navigates treacherous waters in the worlds of both dating and stand-up comedy.
cast: Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter, Ray Romano ,Anupam Kher, Bo Burnham, Aidy Bryant

 

Super excited for this.

 

Looks good.

 

THERE WASN'T ALREADY A THREAD FOR THIS?!

No but seriously this is one of my most-anticipated of the year, easily. Some of my favorite comedy people ever involved with this one.

 

Wow that looks so fucking good! I had no idea this was a thing that was happening

 

This looks fantastic.

 

I usually wait for a trailer and it took them forever to release one

 

Truth. Worth the wait though, goddamn this looks good.

 

This looks like it might make me sad.

 

Certainly looks like a great rom com

 

I tried to get tickets to this while it was at Sundance this last winter, but couldn't snatch 'em. I still really want to see this.

 

This looks fucking delightful

 

Yeah, I can't wait for this.

 

97% on RT already, so that's cool! I hope it stays that high after it's out in the great big world and not just film festival land.

 

I love literally everyone involved in this, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. I'm honestly most excited to see Bo Burnham though even though he likely won't be in it much lol

 

Can't wait for this

 

the indoor kids movie

coming this summer

 

Didn't realize this was coming out so soon.

 

Select cities got it made. The rest of us got a month or so to go.

 

Dammit.

 

Drafthouse is the fucking coolest! I want one around here so bad! Also that food looks incredible

 

WTF is going on with the Metacritic user score?

 

Probably racist trolls

 

Yeah, maybe. I guess Kumail is pretty politically vociferous on Twitter too.
