15 Most Critically Adored Films 2016 - Ranked
12. Don’t Think Twice
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 99% (109 reviews)
It might have flown largely under the radar in 2016, but Mike Birbiglia’s comedy-drama about the hardships of working New York City’s comedy circuit certainly charmed critics. Focusing on a comedy improv troupe and how they’re affected when one of its members finds success and fame by nabbing a spot on the sketch show Weekend Live, a thinly veiled stand-in for the most coveted of all comedy shows Saturday Night Live, it’s been hailed as an honest exploration of the life of working comedians.
Starring a host of comedic talents including Keegan-Michael Key, Kate Micucci and Mike Birbiglia himself that bring a tonne of real-life experience to the movie as working comedians themselves, Don’t Think Twice is as heartfelt and bittersweet as it is funny.
