"Tired of love triangles? Aniston's new comedy 'She's Funny That Way' features a love knot between not three - or four, or even five - but six people. The Peter Bogdanovich - directed film follows the romantic escapade of the cast and crew of the Off Broadway production play 'A Grecian Evening'. Actor/comedian Owen Wilson (who's been opposite of Aniston in 2008's 'Marley & Me') is the plays director Arnold Albertson, whose wife actress/comedienne Kathryn Hahn (who's been opposite Aniston in 2012's 'Wanderlust' and 2013's 'We're the Millers') is cast as the lead actress of the play opposite of her ex-lover Seth Gilbert; actor Rhys Ifans character. The film only gets more complicated from there when Wilson's character casts the woman he is having an affair with, Isabella "Izzy" Patterson; actress Imogen Poots character, a former hooker turned Broadway thespian, in the play as well. Now enter, Jennifer's character Jane Claremont - Poots' therapist, who needs her own therapist. Aniston sports a professional bob and an unprofessional personality as she releases her client's private information to each other and punches people in the face - with good reason. Her character is consumed by her failing relationship with the play's writer Joshua Fleet; actor/comedian Will Forte's character, (who's been opposite of Aniston in 2014's 'Life of Crime'), who happens to be developing a crush on Poots' character as well. The films supporting characters include actress Cybill Shepherd as Nettie Patterson; Poots' characters mother, and actress Illeana Douglas as Judy. There are also a number of cameo appearances to watch for including actress Lucy Punch as a prostitute, actress Tatum O'Neal, actor Jake Hoffman, director Quentin Tarantino, actor Michael Shannon, Vanity Fair journalist Graydon Carter, actress Debi Mazar, actress Jennifer Esposito, and actress Colleen Camp. She's Funny That Way was previously released in August 29, 2014 at the Venice Film Festival, and later in September it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
