This time he works on a larger canvas with an ensemble of improvisational comedians.\u00a0 They work menial jobs in the daytime and look forward to their nightly performances before a fairly large group of mostly young people\u2014who are supportive of the six comics called The Commune.\u00a0 It looks like as though this group has the solidarity that would protect them from a breakup, but the success of one of their troupe leads to envy by the others and, given that the winner of an audition by a Saturday Night Live type TV program called \u201cWeekend Live\u201d is the two strongest performer in the Commune, things start to look bleak for the other five.\u00a0 That\u2019s not all: the theater in which they operate will have to close within a month and the men and women have only vague ideas of what lies ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The bright, young folks in the Commune include Jack (Keegan-Michael Key), his girlfriend Samantha (Gillian Jacobs), Miles (Mike Birbiglia, the writer-director), Allison (Kate Micucci), Lindsay (Tami Sagher), Bill (Chris Gethard).\u00a0 Members of the troupe are literally a commune, all sharing Spartan digs in Manhattan, where the film is photographed.\u00a0 We in the audience see samples of their improvs, most of which is unfunny in my estimation though the audience in their little theater appreciates any humor they can get.\u00a0 And their lack of blazing talent shows in the performances: only one of the troupe, Jack, passes an audition which allows him to appear on \u201cWeekend Live,\u201d and even he will later be shuffled to a less prestigious part of the big TV show.<\/p>\n<p>The Commune gets a visit from Ben Stiller and Lena Dunham, playing themselves, and all find it important to fall all over the two stars.\u00a0 Jack, in fact, gets to perform the kind of skit he\u2019s accustomed to when on TV, sharing the spotlight with Ben Stiller.\u00a0 Later, one of the group is tapped as a writer, leading to that much more envy from the rest, who now believe that they will never make it big.<\/p>\n<p>Show business is difficult.\u00a0 Actors are unemployed 90% of the time, and doing stand-up comedy is particularly challenging.\u00a0 My own view of improv finds me liking structured scripts funnier, though I suspect when a member of the Commune says to the audience, \u201cAnyone have a hard day today?\u201d and gets a reply such as \u201cI buried my father today,\u201d the group squeeze in some shtick that they had already rehearsed and done in the past.\u00a0 After all, how many unique hard days can people have?<\/p>\n<p>The group is a pleasure to watch, but their skits are disappointing.\u00a0 As they say, \u201cLife is easy.\u00a0 Comedy is hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rated R.\u00a0 92 minutes.\u00a0
