SnoopyStyle Izzy Finkelstein/Isabella Patterson (Imogen Poots) recounts her story to reporter Judy (Illeana Douglas). It's four years earlier. Family-man director Arnold Albertson (Owen Wilson) arrives at his Manhattan hotel and calls for an escort. Vickie (Debi Mazar) sends Isabella over to the hotel. He gives her $30k to get out of sex work to pursue her acting dreams. Jane Claremont (Jennifer Aniston) is Izzy's callous therapist. Next, Izzy shows up at an audition for Arnold's play.Peter Bogdanovich seems to be going for the Woody Allen vibe. Imogen Poots is trying for the Jersey girl hooker with a heart of gold. I can't get over the Brit pushing her accent work. Mira Sorvino was much better in this role. Aniston is playing an inappropriate therapist which borders between trying too hard and the only consistent wacky laughs. She's doing a different movie. The cast is top notch. Overall, the laughs don't come often enough but is enough to keep things interesting.
thisanant what do i want most from a movie? 1.entertainment , of course , maybe from something new. 2.organic nature of development i.e. the movie starts somewhere and grows almost like a living organism not just a pile of unrelated parts. 3.chemistry between characters , originating maybe from good acting. WHY WAS I ATTRACTED TO THIS MOVIE? 1.star cast (imogen poots , Owen Wilson ,jennifer aniston) 2.i love comedies. I LIKED IT BECAUSE 1.very organic plot development. 2.very funny throughout. 3.great chemistry , very good acting by all.YOU MAY LIKE IT IF YOU LIKE nicely acted comedy. YOU MAY HATE IT IF YOU HATE fast paced drama.
kosmasp Which is the "German" title the movie received when released there. They're funny that way ... But back to the movie, which is a very light affair (no pun intended) and has a lot of laughs and a really good vibe to it. There is much to like about this, especially if you like your comedy that way.Imogen has a strange accent and some other actors go that way too, which may alienate some viewers, especially if they're used the persons to be doing different things. Like squirrels and ... not that's something else. You can sense though that every actor in this had fun shooting it and it translates onto the screen. A light but nice movie to watch
recgaspar 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.
