Reviews & comments

Flicks, Giles Hardie
flicksPart bedroom farce, part Woody Allen wannabe, She’s Funny That Way is a funny little film that is loud and proud about being more fun than substance. Kicking off in a somewhat quirky Hollywood insider interview fashion, it is the tale of Isabella (Imogen Poots), now a big name actress who recounts the circumstances that enabled her to transition from Brooklyn nobody to rising star almost overnight. Those circumstances are insane, implausible and inventively amusing.

Variety
pressAfter a thirteen-year absence, Peter Bogdanovich returns to theatrical filmmaking with an enthusiastic but low-fizz romantic farce.

The Telegraph
pressA hysterical screwball fantasia that openly steals from Lubitsch, Hawks, Capra and Sturges and wants to be caught with its fingers in the till.

Hollywood Reporter
pressPeter Bogdanovich returns to screwball comedy and an intricate web of romantic complications.

Empire Magazine
pressPeter Bogdanovich's attempt to update the screwball of the Golden Age lacks the requisite elegance, wit and charm.
