L.A. Story and Roxanne: Two Screenplays

Summary: Subtlety Evades Some
Review: I have been a fan of LA Story from the first viewing. Everything
about 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.

Review: 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...

Summary: L.A. Story and Roxanne : Two Screenplays
Review: One of the movies in this book I had seen and the other I had not. "Roxanne" I remembered as a wonderful movie, and I very much enjoyed being able to pick out my favorite parts and favorite lines in the book. "L.A. Story" is a very amusing satire and I have not seen the movie. At first, reading a screenplay is confusing, but I adjusted quickly and found the reading very enjoyable.

Review: ROXANNE is a wonderful script/film. How could Martin go wrong adapting and putting a spin on one of the great classic plays ("Cyrano De Bergerac")? But L A STORY shows Martin is weak when originating a long narrative. It's really a quite terrible script/film. In fact--while I saw ROXANNE 3 times--I walked out of L A STORY half-way through.
