Review of L.A. Story (1991) by Juliecraig — 29 Jul 2019
Steve Martin is a legend, and you only have to see LA Story to see why. It won't be a stretch to say that the funnyman not only portrays the lead in this film, but he must have had been wearing a lot many hats, which shows.
LA Story is an ode to the city of Los Angeles- and it came out in an era when the film stock totally enhanced the Los Angeles atmosphere. Drenched in the yellowish tinge that wraps the city of Angels LA Story is about a LA weatherman and his travails as he goes about capturing the essence of his beloved city.
What Woody Allen's Manhattan was to the big apple, Martin's LA Story is to Los Angeles. There are many cameos from the stars of that era and Martin's low restrained dead pan humor is excellent. There have been many films made in the city of angels that honor the city but few have managed to capture the angelo essence as well as LA Story.
An ode to the city of angels by a legendary comic.
