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 ta_ 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
t’s kind of outdated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
and his wife is there and he is there
and then Rhys Ifans is somebody
who used to have an affair probably with his wife
and then it all goes in fact on a bedroom
which ends up with wife and lovers in bedrooms
while hookers are in the bathrooms.
Here’s a clip:
