Is This Thing On Movie Review
Bradley Cooper knows a lot about relationships and does an outstanding job of putting them on the screen for us. With his insightful directorial debut, he gave us “A Star is Born, followed up with “Maestro,” and now he arises triumphantly with his third film, “Is This Thing On.”
