![]() ![]() In no way did any of these characters bother me, in fact I quite enjoyed ever time any of them were on-screen together. ![]() Filled with some very clever humour and some great improv scenes, this film is all about selling great characters, which leads me up to my biggest issue. The fact that he can't do anything for them from the inside also begins a feud between them, making this more dramatic than anything. As one of the members of their group (Jack, played by Keegan-Michael Key) is chosen as the newest cast member of Weekend Live, his friend whom he acts with every week soon become jealous. Funny, charming, and eye-opening, this is why I believe Don't Think Twice is worth your time.įollowing a group of imrov performers as they hold shows on a weekly basis in order to get recognition by a television show called Weekend Live, which is pretty much this film's version of Saturday Night Live, the film quickly becomes a reminder that fame can't be for everyone. Don't Think Twice is a big slap in the face for dreamers who hope to become actors/actresses one day, but in the best way possible. Those examples may not be the greatest, but this is a film that isn't afraid to explicitly show that, no matter how much passion you have for acting, making it big just isn't meant for everyone. In the case of Don't Think Twice, it doesn't follow the ways of say La La Land or Super 8. When it comes to films revolving around the film or television business, most of them choose to focus on one aspect alone, leaving out some of the behind-the-scenes aspects that many studios probably don't want you to know. Their path just varies slightly from being in the spotlight. Just because Key's character becomes the big star doesn't mean the other characters are suffering or aren't as good at what they do. ![]() Keegan-Michael Key takes the lead role as the individual who shines a bit brighter than the rest of the crew, but it's also about a how individual members of the troupe allow their strengths to take them down a path they would succeed in the most. The movie uses a parallel Saturday Night Live to show us how a small troupe of friends and comedians work together to help the group succeed while also looking out for themselves. Sure he's acted in a few things, but his strong suit is writing and directing, so with Don't Think Twice, he offers up a real earnest look at the life of a comedian. There are comedian actors, there are actors who are just funny, there are comedians who try to act, and then there are actual comedians. It's something many people marvel at but don't necessarily understand. ![]()
