Surprisingly incoherent and boring

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Don't Think Twice is a terrific movie with a very well developed plot and a stellar cast that can shine in both dramatic and comedic moments. It is a hard hitting film that is quite blunt about the entertainment industry, chronicling the lives of a group of improv comedians who become stuck in a turmoil when one of their members land a big gig. It emphasises the feeling of jealousy in a very accurate way that anyone involved in this world will be ashamed to admit how relatable it truly is.I did find that a few characters were left feeling like they were not established enough, and I felt there could have been more room made for them to develop. While I do love all the characters, I was left feeling like I could have learned so much more about Allison and Lindsay, both portrayed very well by their respective actresses, but not given enough time to shine. The cast is all around amazing, the fact that they are real life comedians really adds to it, feeling like there's hardly any acting going on at all. Keegan-Michael Key is richer than he's ever been, playing a very grounded character, with stellar on screen chemistry between himself and Gillian Jacobs. Huge credit also goes to writer/director Mike Birbiglia, who also plays a very human character, and Chris Gethard plays a role we can not help but emphathise with. Both hilarious and emotional. Had me laughing out loud and shedding tears, Don't Think Twice is certainly not to be missed for fans of comedy dramas. A group of comedians start to contemplate their life decisions when one of their friends lands a huge gig. Best Performance: Keegan-Michael Key

This is amusing and has a few moments, but no laugh out loud moments during this film.The story is of a comedy cast trying to make it in the competitive New York market.It does digress and veers off track – sometimes becoming overly melodramatic. There's a love relationship, one of the cast has a dying father, another meets up with a high school sweet-heart who is pregnant. If it would have stuck to the nightly comedy routine and the tensions within the group it would have been more unified. So after awhile what exactly are we left watching? Never felt very engaged by any of the characters.The ending is overly schmaltzy with all participating in a group hug, but in the prior scenes there were fierce and combative arguments...Good for a quiet weekday evening.

While this isn't quite what i had hoped for, i enjoyed it. Did the film provide improv and some humor? Yes. Was the story enjoyable? Slightly. I wasn't sure just what to expect as the film ad looked both comedic and dramatic. I think the cast worked, and there was even a SNL set time, a Ben Stiller drop in or two. I could've done without some of the not so subtle left-wing leanings, whether they have good points on some issues is subjugated to there whinning, that didn't ruin my overall viewing experience. The troupes personal and group meanderings weren't bad and i enjoyed the improv theater and the comedic exchanges. The characters crisis was understandable for most of the age groups in the film. I would have liked a different ending, something more concise, still it was a good film all in all. I would like to see more from the cast and the production, this was a well done Indie.

Don't think twice follows the lives of a group of actors playing in an improv group in New York City. They're not just colleagues, but have formed a friendship and together, sitting on and around the same couch they watch Weekend Live (read Saturday Night Live) and hope to one day become part of the talented pool of people working on the TV show. When one member of the group gets picked up by Weekend Live, the groups' friendship is put at the test.Trying to make it is the central theme of this movie. Writer, director and actor Mike Birbiglia successfully depicts the motivation behind this inner desire to make it in the comedy business, which helps you understand why some feelings of jealousy arise when that one person actually makes it. When the subject comes up, you can feel the tension in the air, you can feel that some friends simply don't grant this person his/her success. What makes this movie great is that we actually understand these feelings of jealousy. The other members aren't jealous for the sake of being jealous, they start to realize they might not make it after all, maybe they aren't good enough, they start to question their future.Throughout the entire movie, you feel like you're watching real people and not just characters. This is thanks to the great directing, writing and acting of the entire cast. The most interesting character was the one Birbiglia plays himself, Miles. He's an improv teacher and there are some great contradictions between his life and passion for improv. He has a routine life, comes back home with the same kind of girls, tells the same joke to each one of them and seems to be stuck in his routine. There's everything but improvisation in his life. Watching his character develop and handle his frustrations was an interesting aspect of the movie. Birbiglia's talent as a writer becomes again very clear in a scene near the end of the movie, between Jack and Samantha (Keegan- Michael Key and Gillian Jacobs), that has a lot of emotional power and contains some clever double meaning. Unfortunately, there are also some flatter characters that didn't add much to the movie. Some dialogues and scenes didn't build the character they intended to do. Also, the ending of the movie worked, made sense, but somehow felt too easyNevertheless, 'Don't Think Twice' is a wrongfully overlooked movie because it's so relatable to anyone with a dream. Making it isn't a given and realizing it might as well never happen can be devastating. On the other hand, as one character shows, some people don't have to make it to be happy.
