If you don’t want to buy a DVD or Blu-Ray and just want to stream one of the best romantic comedies in recent memory, you’ll be able to stream The Big Sick on Thanksgiving weekend.
Slowly but surely, The Big Sick has been rolling out in theaters across America over the last few weeks.
It indeed is one of the best movies of the years, certainly one of the best romantic comedies this side of the 21st century. Also, if you’ve been following the film’s star and co-writer Kumail Nanjiani on Twitter, you’ve seen that the film has been touching to so many different kinds of people in so many wondrous ways.
So, go see it/go see it again in a theater that’s now probably very close to you.
While The Big Sick’s nationwide release isn’t until July 14th, it’s still expanding onto more screens every week leading up to it.
It’s without doubt the best romantic comedy this year and might be one of the best we’ve seen in awhile. Every facet of The Big Sick including the story and writing by Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon, the directing by Michael Showalter, and the casting of and performances by Kumail, Zoe Kazan, Ray Romano, Holly Hunter, Anupam Kher, Adeel Akhtar, Kurt Braunohler, fires on all cylinders.
It’s a modern love story and, yet, it feels so timeless the whole way through.
You can see above where The Big Sick is opening up next on this coming weekend and you can get tickets here.
If you are in NYC or LA, please go see The Big Sick, the movie based on the true love story of Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon.
It rolls out into a wider release next month, but you should go see it the movie if you can before then. Not only did Kumail and Emily write it and Michael Showalter direct it and it has this great trailer and this great clip, but it also isn’t the latest installment of an overblown franchise with robots.
Get tickets for a screening here.
The Big Sick tells the story of how Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon became the amazing couple that they are now. It had a great showing at Sundance and has since been bought up to possibly be a big time summer romantic comedy this year.
Kumail and Emily wrote the movie, Michael Showalter directed, and Judd Apatow produced it, which hopefully are all the right ingredients for something that will be a critical and commercial success amongst all the tent-pole action franchise releases that it will undoubtedly be up against.
The Big Sick will start rolling out in theaters on June 23rd, then hit a theater near you on July 14th.
