Steve Martin, God bless him, is a legend. It can't be easy being this funny for so long and for so many people. He's even got himself at the helm of the Pink Panther franchise. What a talent. Here, with L.A. Story, Steve was even the screen writer, and the film is clever and the acting is fun as well. He manages to pack every single little quirk that's associated with the City of Angels right into this flick, and it would make for a fun drinking game to try and spot them all.
Anyway, he's paired with Victoria Tennant who doesn't do much of anything for me, but it also has Sarah Jessica Parker who is the bubble-gum chewin', carefree Valley Girl who you'll fall in love with for sure. When she takes his pants measurements, you'll see what I mean... you'll feel obligated to do whatever she says, where ever she wants, and it will happen so fast, you'll not have much time to consider your availability or much of anything else. Wish I could have found that clip, but check out a weather one which is part of the fun as well... watch the movie trailer and read on because...
FilmBender is Funny Movie Reviews. The movie's from '91 or something like that, so prepare for some dated moments, but those are part of the fun. And did I mention Sarah Jessica Parker.
