Reviews


100
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The film is astonishing in the amount of material it contains. It isn't thin or superficial; there is an abundance of observation and invention here.
80
The New York Times - Vincent Canby
Basically decent, intelligent and sweet. It's a fanciful romantic comedy whose wildest and craziest notion is that Los Angeles, for all of its eccentricities, is a great place to live.
80
Variety - Unnamed
Goofy and sweet, L.A. Story constitutes Steve Martin's satiric valentine to his hometown and a pretty funny comedy in the bargain.
80
Washington Post - Hal Hinson
Martin's poetic elegance turns to sappy mysticism. And if the material had been presented more insistently, it might have been insufferable, too goopy and new-age. Its modesty, though, is its prime virtue.

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
The trouble is, nothing about this couple is particularly rooted in Los Angeles. The love affair has a bland, generic feel. What's more, the picture lacks verve.
