 Based on a real life courtship, Pakistan-born aspiring comedian Kumail, connects with grad student, Emily, after one of his stand-up sets. However, what they thought would be just a one-night-stand blossoms into the real thing, which complicates the life that is expected for Kumail by his traditional Muslim parents. When Emily contracts a mysterious illness, Kumail finds himself forced to face her feisty parents, his family’s expectations and his true feelings. From the outset, this sparky culture-clashing romcom has a modern edge. (F-rated) (120 mins) Cert 15 Directed byMichael Showalter |
