LJ'S QUICK MOVIE REVIEW
"Don't Think Twice", directed by Mike Birbiglia, is light-hearted
comedy that follows the story of a small, six-member improv group
called The Commune. The Commune is essentially a closely knit team,
with each member complementing the other.
However, when Jack, an ambitious member of The Commune, gets the
opportunity to join 'Weekend Live!' (a huge entertainment company), he
faces a unique situation. He wants to achieve greater success, but
doesn't want to leave his faithful and hardworking team behind.
The well-written script is elevated by the great organic performances
put forth by Keegan-Michael Key (Jack), Gillian Jacobs, Birbiglia, and
the rest of the cast. Every single character has moments of self-doubt,
self-discovery, and emotional conflict.
Overall, "Don't Think Twice" is definitely a comedy worth watching
because it explores the themes of envy, loyalty, and a sense of
belonging through dynamic characters we can all relate to.
