Very nice film, bursting with ideas. Lots of visual gags, witty dialogues, original story elements and just a high dose of creativity. This is really one of those films that I really want to like, because it seems to have so many new ideas. Too bad it never really becomes a good whole. Steve Martin probably wrote the script at a time when he had so many ideas that his head was almost bursting, but it never really gets stuck together satisfactorily. Although that is not so much due to the script, but to the boring direction of Mick Jackson. A script like this deserves a visual and musical support that is just as pleasantly crazy as the ideas that are in it. The most deadly is a film style that presents it as if it were just any other script. That is unfortunately Jackson's approach. Too bad because a potential comedy classic was probably lost because of it. The end result is nice enough for an evening of entertainment. And Steve Martin is at his best here, probably because this film was very personal to him. Should he have directed it himself?

3*

Mediocre film in which a TV weatherman gets advice from an electric billboard. A light romcom that is somewhat unbalanced in terms of humor. Here and there funny and Los Angeles is sometimes almost fairy-tale-like depicted. Steve Martin is perfectly in his place here and the literally hopping Sarah Jessica Parker is somewhat irritating.

Martin gets all the space in this parody of Hollywood and uses it optimally. Several scenes are more or less sketches but the love story comes out well, although this has no surprises. What is surprising are some scenes that are nicely crazy. The dialogues are also sometimes very funny.
