L.A. Story (1991)


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102250/

L.A. Story is a 1991 American romantic comedy film directed by Mick Jackson and written by Steve Martin, who also stars in the film. Set in Los Angeles, California, it tells the story of Harris K. Telemacher (Martin), an L.A. weatherman who falls in and out of love with the aid of a talking freeway sign which arguably speaks for the city itself. Over the years since its initial release, L. A. Story has acquired a strong underground and cult following. The movie is both a romantic comedy and a satire and celebration of life and L.A. culture. Three songs by Enya, "On Your Shore" and "Exile" (from Watermark) and "Epona" (from Enya), can be heard in this motion picture.

It's witty, irreverent and entertaining, this love story penned by Steve Martin, in which LA is a tangible character. There's plenty to smile about as Martin affectionately pokes fun at just about everything in the City of Dreams, which acts as a backdrop to his own vulnerable romantic tale. The fact that Martin plays a weekend weatherman in a city where the weather never changes is a joke in itself, coupled with the superficial lifestyle of double decaffeinated half caps with a twist, breasts that feel weird because they're real and where everything from movies to earthquakes are rated on a scale from 1 to 10.
