For the life of me, I can't figure out why this film was titled She's Funny That Way, but the odd title notwithstanding, this is one funny movie! It isn't funny in a modern way, either; it feels like a 1930s screwball comedy. Gone are the days when movies rely solely on verbal banter, but Peter Bogdanovich has created a classic for today's audiences.The film alternates between the actual story and Imogen Poots's character's interview from after the story's end. I don't happen to think Poots is very pretty look at on the screen, but there's nothing wrong with her acting or her very thick, adorable New York accent. Included in the fast-paced story is a cast of colorful characters including a womanizing playwright, a hooker with a heart of gold, and an incompetent therapist. Set in New York, with quick, clever dialogue, this film reminds me of a Woody Allen movie. Even Poots's over-the-top accent sounds like Allen coached her. So if you like his movies, you'll like this one. If you like classics, you'll like this one. If you like clever humor, well, you'll like this one. It's funny that way, you know?

I chose She's Funny That Way randomly in a rental store. It seemed like an easy, cute movie to watch. And I can't believe how much I actually love this! She's Funny That Way has that weird yet charming atmosphere mostly created by the music and the dialogue. It's what I'd want from certain director's who are popular but whose films are actually very boring to the common viewer. This film is hilarious because of the chaotic way everything just piles up and how many characters know each other and run into each other during the movie. She's Funny That Way is an excellent and charming comedy, which I warmly recommend to everyone.

What you can expect more from a film, about a theatre play?!? Not just, that everyone is mentioning how it resembles great ideas of Woody, that I was expecting him to pass by in the crowd (and he is definitely somewhere there), not just, that is "fairytalie", as it gets (yes, that one, as good), not just that it's good as well remake, or inspiration based as crazy mad Birdman, not just, that the casting is brilliant and very articulate, not just the plot is one galloping horse ride from the very first to the VERY LAST moment, but there is a catch at the very end at last! So to everyone, who is bi...moaning about anything in this OPUS, squirrel you! Peace!Homage á this film

Imoge's accent killed me in this movie, it sounded somewhat Polish, somewhat Russian, anything but American. Raised in Brooklyn?? Yeah, right. The movie wants to be an Allen's comedy, but it's not, it's really not, at all. The music and the situations are a clumsy copy of so many other good movies. Even the main actress is a copy of Scarlet Johansson, well, a wannabe anyway. The movie wanted to be funny and quick, and witty and sexy, but it's so predictable, so not funny, and that accent, oh dear, a total killer. Actors are too forced, so not natural. Couldn't they find another actress who could speak normally? Or couldn't she be bothered with the accent? A total waste of time.
