Very well executed
That was an excellent one.
best movie i've ever seen.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The film centers around Isabella Patterson (Imogen Poots) who believes an embellished story is better than the facts. She is giving an interview to a reporter (Illeana Douglas) about her start in the film industry. Isabella started out as an escort (she prefers muse) who aspired to be an actress. She meets director Arnold (Owen Wilson) who is casting for a play. Arnold gives her $30,000 to stop working in her profession and to do something else. This is a habit of Arnold, which will bite him later. In fact the humor of the film is that everyone loves Isabella and the coincidences of all the relationships turning the fact of discovery in inane scenes. Jennifer Aniston delightfully plays the world's worse therapist. I didn't recognize Cybill Shepherd who had a minor role.A fun quirky film, but not a great comedy.No f-bombs or nudity. Implied sex. Aniston uses male "C" word. Some sex talk.
Good casting. Overall not bad performances. Nothing wrong with the settings, the editing, or the camera-work. But something is missing and I can't put my finger on it...One thing that irritated me was the music. It just didn't seem to fit. It felt more Italian/French than Broadway.I felt like the story had one leg in the typical Hollywood comedy, and one leg in the more dialogue driven Woody Allen type movies, and that it couldn't decide. It also had some strands of British Mr Bean-/Benny Hillisch humor that really felt out of place. The scenes could have been better worked through in my opinion. They felt half baked. I guess the reason I can't put the finger on what I didn't like is because there's not one major thing that is wrong, but rather several small things that add up to my feeling.If you tell me this is a remake of some French movie I will believe you right away. The original was probably better.
I really tried to like this movie. It seems like it would have everything that you would like in a film.I endured more than half of it even though it reminded me of a really bad Woody Allen movie and I loved Woody Allen's 70s films. I was actually really upset at my husband for spending over $1 for renting this piece of crap from the Redox. We could not finish it. I LOVE Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, but this was one of the worst movies I have attempted to watch in the past several years. The time I wasted on trying to like this movie is time that I can never get back. Seriously, watch an episode of Hoarders or Family Feud as they are far better than this movie.
I'm 60 live in a retirement/nursing home with congestive heart failure caused by a heart attack I had in 2009 while working in the Middle East for ten years. I've had an interesting life, but I'm not very smart and not very sophisticated. So I liked this movie a lot. It resembles parts of my own life and parts of my friends lives minus the glamor and stuff. When I saw the movie "Saint Vincent" I wanted to sue someone for stealing my life, I get to see more movies now that I'm retired and disabled. So many of you seem so unhappy and so cynical now that I've had time to slow down after 33 years of being busy and see what you all are up to. I liked and loved this movie, it reminds me of real life. I can just imagine the reaction of some of you out there to that statement, you shoulda got a life before it killed your dreams and your heart. Some people actually do have lives that come close to this movie, "She's Funny That Way" ---shocking isn't it. All some of us have is what we lived, dreamed and are...
