Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson Talk a Hooker Out of Hooking in 'She's Funny That Way' Trailer (Video)

The “She’s Funny That Way” trailer takes slapstick comedy to a whole new level.

In other words, lots of people get actually slapped within the two-minute, 11-second teaser — and by the end, Will Forte even gets straight up punched-out by Jennifer Aniston.

The quirky film follows a married Broadway director (Owen Wilson) who falls for prostitute-turned-actress Izzy (Imogen Poots) and works to help her advance her career (the thespian one, not the street-walker gig).

Along the way, seemingly every male in the film solicits Izzy’s services, which, when found out, explains all the aforementioned physical assault.

Aniston, who appears to pack a strong right hook, plays the hooker’s therapist; Forte is the “Cake” star’s on-screen husband.

Both Aniston and Wilson’s characters try to get Poots’ to quit being a lady of the night, though those skills come in handy when the perfect stage part comes along. Unfortunately, that transition turns everyone’s lives upside-down.
