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 into inane scenes. Jennifer Aniston delightfully plays the world's worse therapist. I didn't recognize Cybill Shepherd who had a minor role.

Was a good easy following movie which went every direction. Truly enjoyed watching it.

A great late film from Peter Bogdanovich. Light hearted & fun, but with an edge in regards to the subject matter. Interesting characters.

I enjoyed this film with the variety of different actors.

This was a funny and interesting movie, lead role was written for John Ritter.
