Leave your thoughts about She's Funny That Way.
| Screen InternationalMark AdamsPeter Bogdanovich's love letter to the type of freewheeling sex comedy that was staple Hollywood fare in years gone by is a real pleasure, blessed with a series of smart and knowing performances and driven by a frothy sense of mainstream fun. |
| Film Journal InternationalErica AbeelA screwball comedy from a master filmmaker reaches moments of inspired pandemonium, but a plot centered on lecherous men quickly palls. |
| CinencuentroSebastian Zavala Kahn...it left me smiling for hours, and although it deals with complex themes such as divorce, infidelity and prostitution, Bogdanovich treats them in a fun and light way. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfArmed with only a few decent jokes, less successful performances, and a tone of classic cinema reverence that, in the end, even Bogdanovich seems tired of. |
| South China Morning PostJames MottramThe dialogue rattles along at a tremendous pace, with the gags feeling organic and largely sophisticated. |
| Consequence of SoundCharles BramescoShe's Funny That Way makes for good fun, though it's not necessarily funny in that, or many other, ways. If nothing else, it's heartening to see Bogdanovich back in the saddle. |
| Slant MagazineCarson LundFamiliar as its art/life paralleling may be, it's all fueled by a filmmaker with an intimate relationship to his subject matter. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a watchable throwback almost from beginning to end... |
| Daily StarAndy LeaA tasty little treat you'll want to squirrel away for a rainy day. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Robbie CollinIt’s a hysterical screwball fantasia that openly steals from Lubitsch, Hawks, Capra and Sturges and wants to be caught with its fingers in the till. The result is a highly-sexed Jenga-pile of silliness, to which Bogdanovich can’t resist adding block after teetering block. |
