L.A. Story and Roxanne : Two Screenplays,
By A Customer
This review is from: L.A. Story and Roxanne: Screenplays (Paperback)
In response to the other review, LA story is one of my very favorite movies. The screenplay is excellent, and the story is beautiful. There is nothing terrible or long-winded about it. Though I must say, I am not from California...

Subtlety Evades Some,
By James N. Wallner (Frankfurt Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: L.A. Story and Roxanne: Screenplays (Paperback)
I have been a fan of LA Story from the first viewing. Everythingabout the movie is solid, from the superb casting to the subtle and extremely witty script, and fine performances turned in by everyone. I disagree wholeheartedly with whoever wrote the review and admitted to being thickheaded enough to walk out half way through the movie. But, as we all know, a man with a pointy nose is a little more direct than a subtle slice of Martin insight and hilarious angelean social commentary/satire. Subtlety escapes some and these are the people who are running to see horrible movies in droves. If you consider yourself funny or an intellect or both, see this movie.

This review is from: L.A. Story and Roxanne: Screenplays (Paperback)
O.k. Steve Martin is a very talented and funny man with a tendency at his best to be inspired and at his worst, sentimental. What you have here are examples of the two extremes. Roxanne, one of his inspired creations and LA Story, a turgid piece of sentimentalism with an occasional spark. I am english, twenty years resident in Spain. Writer and actor. I don't go for the crass sentimentalism of a lot of Hollywood product. (I know that LA Story was well received in the states) You might like it. Steve Martin has made a lot of squirm-inducing films in my opinion and this book shows him as a writer at his best and his worst.
