2) The Big Sick (2017)

The Big Sick tells the real-life love story of Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, and it’s as funny as it is touching. Kumail (played by himself) is a stand-up comic juggling cultural expectations and his career when he falls for Emily (Zoe Kazan).
Things get messy when their relationship faces family drama and, unexpectedly, Emily falls seriously ill and ends up in a coma. Kumail bonds with her eccentric parents, played brilliantly by Holly Hunter and Ray Romano, in ways he never expected.
