Based on a true story, The Big Sick is a romantic comedy telling the classic story of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy puts girl into medically-induced coma.
The film has something of the structure of an independent film - although unlike too many independent comedies, The Big Sick is actually laugh-out-loud funny rather than occasional wry smiles.
Aside from being funny, it's a very sweet story with likeable performances from most of the cast members. It's not the sort of movie that's going to rewrite Hollywood history, and it doesn't bring anything groundbreaking to the rom-com genre, but it manages to do what it does very effectively. It's certainly one of the better examples of its genre.
