Like I said, I'm getting into the Steve Martin flicks, and since my mom has all of his films, I decided my next film journey to be for comedy and see what the hype is that is Steve Martin. I loved his films like: Bringing Down the House, Bowfinger, and Roxanne. They had great humor and a touching story that anyone could fall in love with. L.A. Story was next on my list, and while it is a cute movie, I felt that it was a little too cheesy and not up to par with Steve Martin's humor, or at least not the kind of humor that I know he can perform.
Harris, played by Martin, is a weatherman in L.A., he's in a pretty dysfunctional relationship with a very fake and shallow woman. But when he pulls over to fix his car on the road, an electronic road sign tells him the way to find his true love leading him to Sarah Jessica Parker, but she's a bit of a ditz. But the sign eventually points him to the lovely Sara, a British and intelligent woman, but she is taken. It's a matter of seeing if the sign is right and is this the woman of his dreams?
L.A. Story is a cute little romantic story that deserves a look, but like I said, I just didn't get into it. I guess I was just expecting something more since it's a Steve Martin flick, but it's all good. I wouldn't say no to recommending this, because you might enjoy it. But just don't expect the humor from Bowfinger or Bringing Down the House or The Jerk or... well, you get the idea.
5/10
