As others have noted, this a drama about comedy. Apparently some people don't like that. It has its funny moments, but don't go in expecting a yuk fest like the poor sap who commented below me. Written and directed by Mike Birbiglia, who also co-stars, "Don't Think Twice" is about a long-running, close-knit improve troupe who are faced with two crises: they're losing their performance space and one of the members is cast in an "SNL"-like show. The film does a good job of showing the tensions between the group and how unhappy many people who work in comedy are. The cast is great: Keegan Michael Key (playing a bit of a showboater), Gillian Jaccobs ("Community"), Kate Micucci (Garfunkel & Oates), and 2 others whom I didn't recognize. Look for the celebrity cameos!
