She's funny that way or
not quite as funny as she thinks she is.
This is Peter Bogdanovich returning
to the screen working from a script
which was written many years ago.
So it's a throwback screwball romcom
which it's got its repeated squirrels-to-the-nuts line
which comes from Ernst Lubitsch,
but actually it feels very much
like a throwaway late-period Woody Allen movie,
something which is a kind of classic, classy, comedy.
You know, it wants to be throwback actually,
it’s kind of outdated.
So the story is Imogen Poots
is a call girl turned actress,
she was recounting a rags-to-riches story
to Illeana Douglas
and during the course of this story,
Owen Wilson is this sort of theatrical bigwig who,
you know he is addicted to prostitutes
and yet apparently he is meant to be sort
of just completely lovable and,
anyway so he meets Imogen Poots
and he says "I'm gonna give you some money,
to make your life better"
and it turns out he’s done this quite a lot
and then she comes and auditions for his play
