She's Funny That Way – Review

The largest language school within Vallès Oriental is pleased to provide you with this review, crosswords and contest. Enjoy the film!!! She’s Funny That Way – Review “A city of eight million people and everybody knows everybody,” says Jennifer Aniston’s therapist at one point during Peter Bogdanovich’s return to the big screen, and she might as well be winking at the film’s audience. She’s Funny That Way is a real throwback, both to the kind of films Bogdanovich used to make in the 1970s, and to the golden era of screwball comedy that influenced the writer-director in the first place. Owen Wilson plays rich, womanising Broadway director Arnold Albertson, and it says a lot about his essential likability that he remains a more-or-less sympathetic - and certainly watchable - figure throughout, channeling the same kind of charm that he displayed in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. After employing the services of call girl Izzy Finkelstein (a wide-eyed Imogen Poots), he gifts her the sum of $30,000 in order to follow her dreams, which, of course, leads her to audition for the play he’s directing, A Grecian Evening. Numerous other characters are thrown into the mix, from Will Forte’s ineffectual playwright Josh to his girlfriend, the aforementioned Jane Claremont, a larger- than-life character whom Jennifer Aniston clearly has great fun inhabiting. Add to that English legend Joanna Lumley, Kathryn Hahn as Delta Simmons (Albertson’s wife) and Rhys Ifans and Austin Pendleton in various other roles - not to mention a host of entertaining cameos - and the stage is set for some entertaining set-pieces, as each character attempts to follow their own, distinct agenda. A worthy comeback from Bogdanovich. .
