This movie starts off strong, with some fun parodies of the LA lifestyle -- traffic, trendy restaurants and a sense of being at the center of it all.
It runs into some problems, however, when Steve Martin inexplicably falls in love with a visiting journalist. We never really get to know why he likes her, as she seems fairly unlikable. What it lacks in character development, however, it makes up for in Enya. The deeper the emotional intensity, the louder the Enya.
The movie never settles on a voice -- is it a slapstick comedy, a romance, a drama? As it veers in one direction then another, it leaves the viewer disconnected, not laughing and waiting for the closing credits. |
