Gordon, Jumail Nanjiani<br \/>\nCast: Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter, Ray Romano, Anupam Kher<br \/>\nScreened at: Dolby88, NYC, 5\/25\/17<br \/>\nOpens: June 23, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Terry:  &#8220;I&#8217;ve always wanted to discuss 9\/11 with a Muslim.&#8221;<br \/>\nKumail: &#8220;9\/11 was a tragedy.  (Long pause) We lost 19 good guys.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is just a single gem among the zippy one-liners that appear in \u201cThe Big Sick,\u201d a gag that Terry for a moment thinks is the Pakistani-American\u2019s true feeling. Kumail quickly notes that he\u2019s only joking.  Though not very often, in fact only once, the Kumail is heckled at a comedy club for his ethnicity when he is advised \u201cGo back to ISIS.\u201d That Kumail, who is assimilated has eyes for a marriage-age woman who is white and non-Muslim threatens to turn \u201cThe Big Sick\u201d into one of the many comedies about cultural distances; the older generation insisting that their son Kumail marry a Muslim woman just as his brother did.  <\/p>\n<p>But \u201cThe Big Stick\u201d is not one of those semi-awful, schematically spelled out conflicts such as the unfunny \u201cMy Big Fat Greek Wedding&#8221;, but rather features a crackerjack script graced with a marvelous ensemble that mixes melodrama and broad comedy, and comes across like a hilarious memoir based on Kumail\u2019s actual marriage to Emily in one of the most beautiful stories of love and its conflicts you may run across in the theaters this year.  <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that the movie, featured at the Sundance Festival this year, was sold for a hefty twelve million dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Presumably some Pakistani-American parents still believe their sons must marry Muslim women.  That idea is taken to an extreme when Sharmeen (Zenobia Sfirof), who is Kumail\u2019s culture-bound mother, and Azmat (Anupam Kher) who is his less rigid father, arrange a veritable parade of Pakistani-American single women to enter their Chicago home as if they were \u201cjust dropping in.\u201d  For his part Kumail, who might otherwise choose well among all these beauties, refuses all simply because he does not believe in arranged marriage.  And oh, also he\u2019s in love with Emily Gordon (Zoe Kazan) whom he met while doing stand-up shtick in a Windy City\u2019s comedy venue.  She heckles him with a big whoop; he  goes off script to chastise her even though the \u201cwhoop\u201d is a positive audience reaction because, he says, that\u2019s still heckling and that could throw off his act.<\/p>\n<p>The initial segment of the film is a comic gem, as Emily and Kumail play the courtship game, Emily often looking for a way out, judging at least by her playful hard-to-get advisories.  When Emily gets sick, coming down with a rare infection caused by her body\u2019s immune system\u2019s mistake, she is put into an induced coma with a respirator.  When her North Carolina-based parents Beth (Holly Hunter) and Terry (Ray Romano) arrive at the hospital, Beth is at first wary of her daughter\u2019s boyfriend but soon becomes attached to him, particularly since he has been patiently waiting patiently for her in the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Director Michael Showalter, best known for TV acting in the likes of \u201cThe Wet Hot American Summer,\u201d has a remarkable sense of comic timing, and gets such outstanding work from his cast that one can see this film already being considered for year-end awards for Ensemble Performances.  By \u201censemble\u201d is meant that each actor is given sufficient time to strut his or her stuff, and  Holly Hunter as Beth, with at least two other films to her credit this year, displays her charming, Georgia-born southern accent, often driving her husband crazy.<\/p>\n<p>If you did not have the good fortune to see this remarkable comedy at Sundance, you have another chance, lucky you, to catch the pic when it opens June 23.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rated R.  120 minutes.  \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<br \/>\nComments, readers?
