A wacky TV weatherman loses his job after taking off yet another weekend -- after all, he figures, L.A. weather never changes, does it? And his personal life is a mess too, because his relationship with his long-time girlfriend has gone kaput. Everything looks pretty dismal, when he unexpectedly meets a British journalist on assignment in L.A. and falls instantly in love. He fears he has no chance with her, though, and in desperation he starts a relationship with a ditzy young shopgirl who introduces him to the wonders of rollerskating and colonics. All the while he pines away for the journalist. Then, while driving down the L.A. freeways, he suddenly realizes that one of the highway signs is trying to communicate with him. He stops to read the messages, takes a risk, and trusts in them to save his life. [More]

Reviews for L.A. Story
It's witty, irreverent and entertaining, this love story penned by Steve Martin, in which LA is a tangible character.
Perhaps Steve Martin's hair went white because his brain radiates with such boundless invention that all the pigment withered off the follicles.
Steve Martin's ode to la-la land is funny, endearing, and too close to reality for comfort.
