Is This Thing On? Ratings & Reviews
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ14 februari 2026I did like how genuine the characters were. I mean they felt like your everyday Joes who are struggling in their relationships. It is a very realistic and relatable movie. The acting is great.
- FairLeap15 februari 2026I really enjoyed this movie. The emotional journey feels honest and meaningful, especially in the way it explores personal growth and reconnecting with someone in a deeper way. I loved the message about finding your own happiness before sharing it with someone else. It’s a brilliant movie with great acting, an absolute must-watch.
- chafe14 april 2026Wish this did better at the box office. Such a good film man
- James Saenz12 april 2026“i realized that i was the one who was unhappy. i was unhappy in our marriage; i wasn’t unhappy with our marriage... i want to be unhappy with you… let’s be unhappy together.” stand-up comedy’s marriage story; it took me about half an hour to really hop on board with it but once i found investment i was happily along for the ride. there’s a complexity and tenderness that exists here that cooper somehow keeps restrained and doesn’t feel the need to overindulge in; he simply allows it to exist and that authenticity is what holds this all together. i think the two funniest things to me about this film are: 1) bradley cooper makes himself the funniest character in the film and it is so effortless; balls is an all timer name and side character 2) peyton manning jump scare i was not at all prepared lmao
- cultfilmliker17 januari 2026Probably won’t ever marry; can’t relate Loving the cheap final scenes from 2025! Don’t think it landed the ending necessarily but I was singing the ending song all the way through the a cappella during the credits I hate Bradley for his role in this. It’s absolutely fine; it’s just that of course that’s the secondary character he really wanted to play in this script he helped write lol Watched at Warren Regal 21 with my mommy Added to The Cinema That Never Sleeps
- baumi37312 april 2026Not awesome, Not Bad. You will scroll on your phone :)
- ShyGuyFox11 april 2026Deftly captures the sensation of watching painfully mediocre standup comedy. Almost impressive how it never managed to even be accidentally funny.
- mhamreus30 mars 2026A small film built around awkward humanity instead of chaos. It leans into that uncomfortable space of getting on stage, trying to be funny, and not always landing it. That tension becomes the engine of the film, and honestly, a big part of its charm. What really works is the tone. The film avoids big, over-the-top comedy and instead lives in the in-between moments. Nervous pauses, half-formed jokes, and that quiet dread of bombing in front of strangers. It feels less like watching someone succeed and more like watching someone try, which gives it a grounded, almost vulnerable edge. Underneath all of that is where the film quietly hits hardest. There’s a love story here that isn’t polished or idealized. It leans into the idea of being unhappy together, of two people trying to figure out if staying is worth it when things aren’t working the way they thought they would. It’s messy, a little sad, and surprisingly real. The stand-up moments weave into that emotional space, acting almost like therapy sessions out loud, where truth slips through the jokes. The film also touches on finding your voice, but it never feels forced. It comes through in small realizations, in failed attempts, and in the courage to keep going anyway. That authenticity carries more weight than any big payoff might have. Where it falls a bit short is in its overall impact. It never quite builds to a major emotional or comedic peak, and some scenes drift more than they land. But that softness feels intentional. This isn’t a film trying to knock you over. It’s one that sits with you, a little awkward, a little honest, and more human because of it. A quiet, awkwardly honest comedy about love, identity, and the fear of putting yourself out there. Is This Thing On? blends stand-up and emotional drama to explore what it means to stay, to struggle, and to find truth in the spaces between the laughs.
- Mark Jones15 februari 2026Is This Thing On nails the slow-motion collapse of a long marriage—brutally honest and laugh-through-the-pain funny. Bradley Cooper is phenomenal: quiet, soulful, heartbreakingly restrained—he quietly owns the whole movie. Arnett and Dern crush the “love you but can’t stand you” vibe. Grown-up, dark, and real. Get out the popcorn and add butter or hot sauce.🍿🍿🍿🍿
- realness10122 mars 2026Not funny. Not entertaining. Plot makes no sense.
- W Chaz Bonney4 mars 2026Brilliant movie
- PlexecutionerX27 februari 2026Starts off a little slow, but glad I kept with it. Good story and Will Arnett nails it.
- kkjbu2 mars 2026Very good story but about 30 minutes too long.
- dillon.c526 februari 2026Is this thing funny? A weird movie about a couple that doesn't know why they're getting divorced? I'm not married.
- S Jöhansson24 februari 2026Ms. Maisel is far superior and less depressing.
