Your driver will be ready as soon as he puts on his pants.

The Big Sick (2017)
Chosen by me as I go to the cinema a lot and have been a fan of Nanjiani and Gordon for a while.


A charming, very funny delight. 
Spinning the true story of Kumail (playing himself) and Emily's (Zoe Kazan) early relationship this film manages to be both melodramatic (comas! arranged marriages!) and sweetly low key.
Everyone is just great with Ray Romano and Holly Hunter bringing some wonderful performances but even the bit players (like an excellent Vella Lovell briefly fleshing out one of the other sides of Kumail's arranged potentials) feel natural and interesting.
