Is This Thing On?": Bradley Cooper's Latest Directorial Project Premiering on Hulu and Disney+ on March 20
Bradley Cooper's latest directorial project, Is This Thing On?, is set to premiere on Hulu and Disney+ on March 20. The film follows Alex, played by Will Arnett, as he seeks solace in late-night comedy clubs amidst marital struggles. Arnett, who also co-wrote the film with Cooper and Mark Chappell, immersed himself in stand-up comedy for six weeks to prepare for the role.
The ensemble cast of the film includes Laura Dern, Andra Day, Cooper, Christine Ebersole, Ciarán Hinds, Amy Sedaris, Sean Hayes, and Scott Icenogle. Reviewer Alex Maidy praised the film as a "sweet and uplifting" experience, highlighting the chemistry between Arnett and Dern. While acknowledging the film's lighter tone compared to Cooper's previous works, Maidy appreciated the performances and moments that left a positive impact on viewers.
Despite not being a fan of stand-up comedy, the prospect of seeing Arnett and Dern in Is This Thing On? intrigues me. Arnett's versatility as a comedian and actor, coupled with Dern's talent, promises an engaging viewing experience. With the film available on Disney+ and Hulu, I plan to watch it when it premieres later this month.
