The movie that defines La-La Land

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2003)

Whenever I am far away from LA, longing for home, I pop this DVD into my player and enjoy one of the funniest, most enjoyably bizzare films I have ever seen. Along with Steve Martin's brilliant "LA Story" this stands as one of movies that captures the quirky, often times nonsensical aspects of living in Los Angeles (particularly if you live from Hollywood west towards Venice Beach). I really don't want to ruin the film by going into the plot, instead I will assure that it (A) captures the LA mystique and (B) is highly entertaining.
