Echo Park is an extremely funny movie, filled with some classic humor presented by a trio of truly quirky characters. Perhaps Susan Dey's best movie of all time! The character that is an Arnold Schwarzenegger wannabe is terrificly funny! This film is more timely now than ever!

This is a fun, light comedy featuring a young Tom Hulce and Susan Day with a charming cast of characters! The humor is excellent, the situations and dialogue are genuinely funny and the actors are all really excellent in their quirky roles. Don't look for a boffo Hollywood finish when they all finally "make it" to the top of show business. That's just not in the cards, but the story is quite entertaining to the very end.

If you are looking for a good romantic comedy for a girls' night in, you won't go wrong with Echo Park.

The movie itself isn't bad, but what I like best is the locale. Echo Park is a neighborhood that, while it might not be the safest place, has a lot of character. I also enjoyed watching a younger Tom Hulce work with an offbeat script. The ending is too abrupt and the movie gets rather bizarre at times, but at least it is unique. And it is more unique in a good, rather than bad sense.

I've only seen this thing once, but loved it. I cannot believe that a movie this good isn't released on video.
