just saw it for the first time
"LA Stereotypes" would have been a more apt title. Hard to believe that Steve Martin, who grew up in Southern California, couldnt resist such easy pot shots.... flick almost seems like the work of a smug East Coaster, but the director being a limey also makes sense.
Other than that, there were some really nice scenes/shots and some of the absurd humor worked well, but the love story was severely undercooked and the whole movie smacked of being painted with broad brush strokes. Entertaining, but very much lightweight... kind of like Steve Martin as a comedian, come to think of it.
