Starring Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter, Ray Romano, Bo Burnham, and Aidy Bryant
Directed by Michael Showalter
Written by Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani
***This film is currently streaming via Amazon Prime***

Summary (in 500 words or less):  Stand-up Pakastani comedian Kumail (Kumail Nanjiani) meets the white Emily (Zoe Kazan) at one of his shows and the two hit it off right away.  Several months into their relationship -- which had already faced some rocky roads when Emily discovered that Kumail's parents wanted him to date only Pakastani women --  Emily gets very sick and falls into a lengthy coma which tests Kumail's love.
