Don't Think Twice is a very down to Earth story that I'm sure most viewers will be able to relate to. It really feels like a coming of age film for people in their early 30s. The whole cast offer really great performances with Gillian Jacobs really showcasing her ability and the characters have to deal with some very real issues that most human being have to deal with over the course of their lives. I consider this movie to be primarily a drama but there is some excellent comedy in the mix too.
What a great movie. Not at all what I expected. So good though.
My fault for wanting comedy w/ a touch of drama when it's the opposite

Not really a comedy. The movie is obviously made for people working in the industry to relate to, not to the general audience. Not too bad though
Very good character piece, though I wished for a lot longer with each person and their backstories. Not quite a comedy, though there are some humorous moments. Knowing the actors performed a lot of their own improv made me enjoy this movie more. I was part of an improv group once so it had special resonance, though the film should appeal to anybody who has worked with a close knit bunch of people, especially in the jealousies and rivalries that arise, despite friendships.
I found this really boring. Not funny. Don't know why it got such good reviews. Maybe you have to be in the industry to get it. I didn't get it.
Horrible Movie! Not Funny @ All?

This was a really good movie and an amazing look at how much SNL looms over the entire improv world. I feel like every moment in this movie I've heard described by a comedian on a podcast. Like how new students come in hot with a catchphrase and ready to go right to the big leagues, how they watch SNL, how some perform when they know a bigwig is in the audience, etc. It was all spot on and extremely uncomfortable most of the time. Just cringeworthy. I never want to watch this movie again but I think it was very good. Does that make sense? I feel like I'm contradicting myself. This movie was better than how much I enjoyed watching it? Is that clearer? Nope. I will say the version of "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" played over the credits made me cry. That song and this movie were very powerful.
