Thoughts on She’s Funny That Way
Thoughts – She’s Funny That Way is a comedy drama that will see a group of people whose lives interweave over a series of events when it comes to casting a new Broadway play. This is a film that will see all the branches of the story that will come together through the film to show the connected lives coming together. We do have an all-star cast that will come together to make this enjoyable to watch, even if some of the stars don’t get as much time as you would like to see from the cast. It will show how personal life and professional life can come together and cause mayhem for the people involved, using the New York location to increase the chaos theory going on in the film.
Final Thoughts – She’s Funny That Way is a busy comedy drama constantly throwing something new into the story.
