would like to see
Steve Martin's comic and romantic tribute to life in Los Angeles. I like his fantasy communications with the freeway sign. It's a warm visit which makes me want to rewatch.
This film more than any other taught me the importance of cultural understanding in comedy. When I first saw it I thought the humour was over-the-top, too obvious, and frankly ridiculous. I only laughed once or twice. Then I lived in Southern California. And I watched the film again. Hilarious! So much of this film captures SoCal life to a tee. The openng scenes mirror my life there exactly! All that's missing are the the car-convoys that my friends and I used to travel in when we went out together (for that see the movie "Swingers").
A romantic comedy but that is not all. There are so many funny jabs at the life in L.A. in the 90's in this film and many are still true today...exaggerated just a wee bit of course.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "L.A. Story" !
