Critic Reviews
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.Full Review

Chicago Sun-Times
Goofy and sweet, L.A. Story constitutes Steve Martin's satiric valentine to his hometown and a pretty funny comedy in the bargain.Full Review
Variety
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.Full Review
Hal Hinson
Washington Post
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.Full Review
