Produced by Judd Apatow, this hilarious true story of the troubled romance between Pakistani-born comic Kumail Nanjiani and his co-writer Emily Gordon “insists that you keep on laughing” (NYT). When Emily and Kumail hook up after one of his stand-up gigs, what they thought would be just a one-night stand blossoms into the real thing. This complicates the life that is expected of Kumail by his Muslim family, who expect him to follow the tradition of arranged marriage. When Emily is beset with a mystery illness, Kumail is forced to navigate the medical crisis with her parents (a perfectly paired Holly Hunter and Ray Romano), while dealing with the emotional tug-of-war between his family and his heart. D: Michael Showalter, US, 2017, 2h
