The Big Sick (2017)

Rated: R - Runtime: 120 min
tesg's Rating: Three stars (out of four)

A Pakistani dates a white girl, they break up because he can't have a future with her without his family disowning him, she ends up in an induced coma, and he...awakens.  It's loosely based on the actual relationship of the star and his real life wife, who co-wrote this.

Ray Romano and Holly Hunter, who play Emily's parents, are amazing in this.  Probably the best romantic comedy in a couple of years.  Even through the serious parts, there's humor.
