In the romantic comedy "She's Funny That Way," directed by Peter Bogdanovich, a tangled web of farcical misunderstandings unfolds in the world of New York theater. The film features an ensemble cast including Imogen Poots as a call girl turned aspiring actress, whose encounter with a generous Broadway director, played by Owen Wilson, sets off a chain of chaotic events. The complications multiply as her path crosses with a self-involved stage actress portrayed by Jennifer Aniston, her playwright fiancé (Will Forte), and a lecherous British actor (Rhys Ifans). The supporting cast, including Lucy Punch, Kathryn Hahn, and Cybil Shepherd, find themselves embroiled in the escalating series of mistaken identities and romantic entanglements. With a screenplay by Bogdanovich and Louise Stratten, this ensemble farce pays homage to classic screwball comedies, exploring the absurd and heartfelt connections between a group of actors, directors, and lovers whose lives hilariously collide both on and off the stage.
