Is this thing on? (2026)
#1
Is this thing on?

Bradley Cooper directs and co-stars in this film about Will Arnett doing stand-up one night rather than paying the cover at the comedy club. This starts him on the road to being a stand-up comic. Hilarity ensues. Or not. Arnett is struggling with his marriage to Laura Dern and most of his sets talk about his struggles. The movie charts his journey from doing open mic nights to finally getting a guest spot. 

The film would be a whole lot better if some of Arnett's comedy was actually funny. But it's not. It's all kind of sad, especially one night after a particularly egregious fight with his wife he just goes on stage and rants. The movie is based on a true story and Cooper is trying to say something about marriage, I guess. But I don't know what that is.

No sword fights.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
