Don't Think Twice

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Don't Think Twice offers a bittersweet look at the comedian's life that's as genuinely moving as it is laugh-out-loud funny -- and a brilliant calling card for writer-director Mike Birbiglia.

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Aug 25, 2016
It has more laughs than any big-studio comedy I've seen this year, but it's dead serious about the difficulty of creating something collectively in a world where everyone's chasing the spotlight. Go to Full Review

Apr 11, 2019 This is a really beautiful and heartwarming film with an amazing ensemble cast
Ron R Apr 3, 2019 This is an outstanding work by all parties. It's a candid look at what it's like to be out there, day in and day out. The story takes you where "life happens" and leads this group of friends to places they perhaps never expected or certainly not how they expected to get where they arrive. It hits a number of real points but it left me with that sense that as long as you keep at it, keep getting up everyday you;ll find there is so much more to do and live for out there. It's not what I expected to see and it does show some many facets of people. See more
Theodore W Jan 18, 2019 Definitely not funny but a drama about struggling comedians who aren't as funny as they think are.
Dec 30, 2018 truly a glimpse into the real life that entertainers may need to deal with. Sadly self sabotaging fragile ego people not being able to push each other to great heights as they are personally dealing with their own self doubt and anxiety instead of supporting and challenging each other as true friends could. Still very moving and entertaining despite the lightening energetic pushing that true friends COULD provide so all can might their best potential. See more
Rey S Dec 21, 2018 Its written by a comedian, directed by a comedian, and stars several comedians who play comedian characters. So of course, it's a drama See more
