There are some cute moments here but nothing to write home about. The inside-Hollywood jokes are just that. Full Review |

1/5 |
The barely watchable buddy comedy L.A. Twister is so sloppily put together it bungles its recycled movie-within-a-movie conceit. Full Review |

|
1.5/4 |
The whole thing seems way too self-congratulatory; an indie movie that's all about celebrating people who make indie movies. Full Review |

|
2.5/5 |
This L.A. story is more like a straight to video kind of movie than one to rush out and see on the big screen. Full Review |

 C+ |
Fun and entertaining but ends up lending an air of contrivance that keeps you from taking it too much to heart. Full Review |

One of those feeble little efforts you'd be inclined to skip at a minor film festival--with good reason. Full Review |

Pape and Saville-Read are so busy winking and chuckling over their own clever lampooning of Hollywood conventions that they forget to make the rest of us care. Full Review |

2/5 |
In trying to qualify as mordant satire, charming rom-com, uplifting buddy movie about underdogs trying to stick it to the man and the most meta story ever told, L.A. Twister sprains itself badly. Full Review |

As written by Geoffrey Saville-Read and directed by Sven Pape, the satire is toothless. Full Review |

The best thing about “L.A. Twister” is the energetic, snappy performance by Zack Ward Full Review |

2/4 |
Seeing Hollywood as a business indifferent to dreamers with no cash flow isn't a revelation, but a given. If you're going to hold a mirror up to Tinseltown, at least try tilting it at a new angle. Full Review |

2/5 |
Both Daly and Ward turn in fine performances ... Undercutting their efforts and the movie's believability are the on-set hijinks strangely included at the end of certain scenes. Full Review |

2.5/5 |
Silly, good-natured and full of unlikely moves. Full Review |

|
2/4 |
The semiserious comedy by director Sven Pape is in its own category, and unfortunately it's not always an interesting one. Full Review |
