ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

mengels-845-984419 Hmmm I must say I love this movie. The Story of this Movie is well told. The Lovestory inside this Story is so nice. Steve Martin proved that he is not only a "jerk" but can play in funny romantic movies as well. Maybe it is I went to the film back in the early 90s with a "love" of myself but every time I see this movie with the Music of Enya I get chilles all over. If you grew up during this time you will love it and even after nearly 25 years !!! Yes ! Since the Movie came out in '91 we are nearly 25 years later .. I hope the studio will bring out this nice little gem with some Extras. One of you greatest Movie Steve Martin ... Also for the Director who did Bodyguard with Whitney and Costner afterwards. He really had it at this time .... If you don't know it and you are in the mid 40s now please see it you wont regret it.

HelenMary I love this spoof of life in LA, it's clever comedy and iconic in so many ways and a slice of early 90s LA. Like some much quotable classics of modern film, this film is either loved or not-understood, but it's so funny. It's one of Sarah Jessica Parker's best and most-liked roles and she's just so cute, infectiously fun and quirky in it, and it's one of my favourite Steve Martin roles too. He's typical Steve Martin; obsessive, anxious and rather crazy whilst following the clues set by the road sign in this metaphysical search for true love where a newly divorced whacky weather man tries to win the heart of lovely English newspaper reporter.There are so many famous face cameo roles to look out for in this giggle-fest, Shakespeare reference, bagpipes, colonic irrigation gags and one-liner's a-plenty. It's fun, bright and sunny (set in LA), quirky and original, and Steve Martin is perfect to watch in it. I like that whilst being a Hollywood Romance it IS realistic about the unlikeliness of a man like Steve Martin's character being compatible with a woman like SJP's character and it pokes fun at that and I love that Steve Martin wrote it himself, probably from his own observations and inside his own head jokes. Victoria Tennant and Richard E Grant also star. It's a sweet story, about how sometimes the universe does conspire to bring two people together, and a real feel good film.

Claudio Carvalho In Los Angeles, the meteorologist Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) is the wacky weatherman of television news. He has a wasted relationship with his obnoxious girlfriend Trudi (Marilu Henner) and he feel that he lives a boring life.When Harris meets the Londoner journalist Sara McDowell (Victoria Tennant), who has come to LA to write en article for the London Times, in a brunch party with her ex-husband Roland Mackey (Richard E. Grant) and other friends, he believes that she is the woman of his life. Harris does not know how to seduce her and he discovers that Trudi has been cheating him with his agent for three years. Then Harry dates the younger aspirant spokesmodel SanDeE* (Sarah Jessica Parker) because he believes that Sara is interested in her ex-husband. However a freeway signpost helps Harry to woo Sara."L.A. Story" is a romantic comedy that is still delightful and witty after so many years from the release. The chemistry between Steve Martin and his wife is perfect and there are hilarious dialogs and situations, like for example, when Harris tells Sara that he would like to take her on a cultural tour of L.A., and Sara replies that this would be the first fifteen minutes. Or when he tells to SanDeE* that her breasts are weird and she answers that it is because they are real. Or when SanDeE* and Roland fantasize with Mel Gibson. In addition, there are cameos of many actors and famous people. The music score by Enya is awesome and fits perfectly to the conclusion. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "L.A. Story"

stevec-35 Basically I go to the movies to be entertained and if I walk out at the end of the movie with a warm satisfied feeling I feel that the film has done its job. LA story is completely in this category.I've seen LA story several times since it first came out and I've always felt thoroughly entertained. The best way to categorize it would be as a romantic comedy with some extremely zany humor. It's about Harris K Telemacher (Martin) who runs the weather segment on a LA TV news channel. The LA weather doesn't change very much so he just mostly clowns it up, in fact the segment is called "the wacky weather guy". In the course of the film he meets and falls in love with a UK news reporter (Tennant - his wife at the time) and has a fling with a delightfully air-headed shop girl (Sarah Jessica Parker).Most of the humor arises from a light hearted look at the California life style. Probably my favourite joke is the scene at the ATM with two queues but there is so much more. I've always been a Monty Python fan and much of the humor is in this category. There is a fantasy element involving a freeway sign and a soundtrack with some hauntingly beautiful Enya melodies.I can see from the other reviews that some people didn't get the humor and I can recall showing the film to two friends who sat through it with mostly straight faces. All I can say is that it totally worked for me and I would rate it as Martin's finest work. Sadly he was never this funny again.If you haven't seen LA Story then give it a try. I think you may be pleasantly surprised. It's 10/10 for me.
