L.A. Story, Week 1 - Jun 7 2006


L.A. Story is a film written by and starring Steve Martin. You can probably guess from the title that it's a story about Los Angeles. It was released in 1991 and has themes ranging from stereotypical LA vanity to stereotypical LA sprawl. I'm not very good at writing real reviews, so I found a good one here.
Interestingly enough, Steve Martin played an architect in Housesitter the year after this was made. Also, L.A. Story was featured in a National Building Museum film festival last year.
