DON’T THINK TWICE *Movie Review*

[additional-authors]
August 1, 2016

At its outset, DON’T THINK TWICE looks like a movie about the history of improvisation and an improv comedy.  Saying that, however, almost does it a disservice because it’s so much deeper than that.  DON’T THINK TWICE is about not just following your dreams, but what to do when your goals don’t quite materialize as hoped.  When one of a six-member improv group is cast on a SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE-esque show, the other members of the group struggle with what it means for them.

Mike Birbiglia (SLEEPWALK WITH ME) writes, directs and stars alongside Keegan-Michael Key (KEY AND PEELE), Gillian Jacobs (COMMUNITY), Kate Micucci, Chris Gethard and Tami Sagher (MADtv) in this fantastic film about life.

This week’s review also includes a special interview with Keegan-Michael Key about the movie, as well as some “insider” stories from Mike Birbiglia and Kate Micucci.  Take a look below:
