Producer: Wes Anderson, Noah Baumbach, George Drakoulis, Logan Levy & Holly Wiersma
Director: Peter Bogdanovich
Star Cast: Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, Kathryn Hahn, Will Forte, Rhys Ifans, Jennifer Aniston et al
Genre: Comedy
Verdict: Average

The latest offering by Peter Bagdanovich’s latest offering She Is Funny That way traces the experience of an ex – call girl cum escort in a Broadway play albeit in a funny & satirical way. But the way he has tackled the subject is hardly convincing.

Plot: The film depicts the interconnected personal lives of the cast & crew of a Broadway production. When established director Arnold Albertson (Owen Wilson) casts his call girl – turned – actress Isabella “Izzy” Patterson (Imogen Poots) in a new play to star alongside his wife Delta (Kathryn Hahn) & her ex – lover Seth Gilbert (Rhys Ifans), a zany love tangle forms with hilarious twists. Jennifer Aniston plays Izzy’s therapist Jane, who is consumed with her own failing relationship with Arnold’s playwright Joshua Fleet (Will Forte), who is also developing a crush on Izzy.

Aces: It’s really the performances of the principal actor’s that are noteworthy and keeps the viewers interest in the proceedings alive.

Minuses: The fault lies mainly with the script & the directorial treatment.

Last Word: Go watch it if you have nothing better to do on this weekend.
