Making a film like this &#8211; and making it good &#8211; is NOT easy. Creating a multi-million-dollar blockbuster filled with CGI is a far easier project than making something like <i>Don&#8217;t Think Twice<\/i>. I enjoyed every second of it. <\/p>\n<p>(This is a humorous side note but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=30653\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this guy<\/a> makes a cameo appearance. Not in the film, but in my review. Listen, it had to be brought up. I know that whole environment so well. If he runs across that review &#8211; as I am sure he will since it&#8217;s a movie about his whole world &#8211; a movie that opens with a couple of quotes and anecdotes about his own personal mentor, the improv guru Del Close &#8211; he will see his name and go, &#8220;What the hell. Worlds collide.&#8221; Whoda thunk that those two crazy kids crawling through windows in the dead of night and soldiering through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheilaomalley.com\/?p=34787\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dangerously high fevers<\/a> to see each other, would ever make it to where they are now?
