Is This Thing On?

‘'Is This Thing On?'’ is a movie by director Bradley Cooper distributed by Disney. It has won an award for Best Actress for Laura Dern at the 2026 Movies For Grownups Awards.

A dramatic comedy that showcases the life story of Alex Novak (Will Arnett) and Tess Novak (Laura Dern) at the moment when everything falls apart with no option to stop it. They have reached a point of no return where they reconsider everything they have lived: their marriage, their identity, and their coexistence.

Alex sees his relationship crumble after a love he took for granted. Determined to find a new purpose, he delves into the world of New York comedy. Tess, on the other hand, faces all the sacrifices she has made for her family, the personal renunciations, and the need to form her own identity.

They try to look at the world from a new perspective to heal old wounds. Together they must learn to coexist with the past and question whether their love is still the same as it was at the beginning or if it has become mere routine.

They will embark on a journey together to redefine bonds, accept that life changes, and identity transforms. Love changes as people do and can take forms and expressions that could never have been imagined before.
