The Big Sick | Review
★★★★
When Judd Apatow wants ‘the big conversation’ it’s not just the comic-addressee who should get excited. Previous convos, with Steve Carell, Kirsten Wiig and Amy Schumer, in which the producer asked each talent: ‘have you any ideas?’ led to The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Bridesmaids and Trainwreck. His is an impressive eye for potential and one with an extraordinarily surefooted track record. Now Apatow has unearthed The Big Sick, the funniest rom-com of recent years, by mining the experience and skill of Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon. He knows how to pick ‘em alright.

SEVEN DAYS A CINEPHILE
I’m seven days cinephile,
I watch films every day.
On Mondays I choose fantasies,
The work-day get-away.
On Tuesday I watch horror films,
Which never leave me scared.
I’ve seen so many jump-scare flicks,
I think I’m too prepared.
Wednesday’s animation day,
Bursts of creative glee,
And if I see the two-fifteen,
I see them youngster-free!
Thursday is the arthouse pick,
A higher brow endeavour.
God only knows what it’s about,
But gosh it does look clever.
Fridays are for blockbusters,
A more expensive ticket!
So when they say ‘It’s in 3D’,
I tell them where to stick it.
Saturday’s my favourite day,
I catch the the indie stuff.
All crafted on a budget,
By the frugalist film buff.
Last are Senior Sundays,
For shows they serve with tea.
Attendees call films pictures,
Ah, c’est la vie for me!
