LOL: The ‘Don’t Think Twice’ Cast Gets Infected With The Viral Video Virus
Playingin 100 locations around the countryright now is the sophomore writing/directing effort of comedian turned filmmakerMike Birbiglia. He made a splash at Sundance a few years ago with the charming, semi-autobiographicalSleepwalk with Me, and now he’s back with a movie calledDon’t Think Twice, focusing on a group of tight-knit friends in an improv troupe. The film is in the same vein asBroadcast Newsand other films from James L. Brooks, just set in the world of improv comedy, and it’s truly a must-see.
Now in an efforts to help promote the movie, producers forced Mike Birbiglia to create a viral video to make more people aware of the movie. Sadly, this resulted in cast membersGillian Jacobs(Community),Keegan-Michael Key(Key and Peele),Kate Micucci(Garfunkel and Oates),Chris Gethard(Broad City), andTami Sagher(Inside Amy Schumer) all getting the viral video virus. Watch theDon’t Think Twiceviral video after the jump.
Easily the best part is when they start talking about each others' shows, but overall it’s just an amusing little short. The humor on display here is much different than what you’ll find inDon’t Think Twice. The film has genuine emotion, comedy that arises between a group of characters who really feel like they’ve been friends for years, and a fantastic portrayal of how we use comedy to cope with our own problems in life, especially failure. IfDon’t Think Twiceis playing somewhere near you, please go see it immediately.
Also, stay tuned, because we have an interview with Mike Birbiglia that will be coming soon that features some pretty geeky comedy talk. If you need more convincing to watch the movie,check out the trailer right here, and alsocheck out our reviewfrom SXSW earlier this year.
