Certainly a world apart from the way Michael Mann has depicted the city in his films!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-2380028917401051122012-08-21T03:07:47.475-04:002012-08-21T03:07:47.475-04:00One of my favourite movies of all time.

A highly under rated film.Mannfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10790789630971172192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-80644310359373939492012-08-03T10:35:30.972-04:002012-08-03T10:35:30.972-04:00Brent Allard:

This may be the best example of what he can really do.<br /><br /><br />Dan:<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. I never tire of this film either. Thanks for the kind words and you're so right, the film is very charming and features so many excellent performances with fantastic chemistry between the two leads.<br /><br /><br />The Film Connoisseur:<br /><br />Good call on comparing it to ROXANNE. I get the feeling that that film was a warmup for LA STORY. I also agree with you how the film doesn't rush, but rather takes its time for you to savor the story and the world and the characters that inhabit it.<br /><br />And like yourself, I wish Martin did more films like this and less of his paycheck films.

I also like the fact that it feels like a film written by an intelligent fellow, which Steve Martin has proven to be. I wish we could ge more of this Steve Martin then the one we see in films like Pink Panther 2 or Cheaper by the Dozen. Always loved that talking billboard gag, its as if God was talking to him or something.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-74188157314694130932012-07-30T11:51:54.472-04:002012-07-30T11:51:54.472-04:00L.A.

Your excellent post hits on all the reasons for why it works so well. Martin's so earnest yet still nails the comedic parts. Sarah Jessica Parker is surprisingly fun, and Martin and Tennant have wonderful chemistry. It's a deceptively charming movie that combines funny moments with a classic love story.Danhttp://ptsnob.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-78238645620220698652012-07-27T23:40:45.822-04:002012-07-27T23:40:45.822-04:00It's a film that's easy to watch and like....It's a film that's easy to watch and like. Martin really shows how versatile he is here, while not played strictly for laughs, he keeps up some good feeling coming through. I'm not sure how well it really covers L.A., but it does manage one convincing point of view.INDBrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11606473452389713844noreply@blogger.com
