I love this spoof of life in LA, it's clever comedy and iconic in so many ways and a slice of early 90s LA. Like some much quotable classics of modern film, this film is either loved or not-understood, but it's so funny. It's one of Sarah Jessica Parker's best and most-liked roles and she's just so cute, infectiously fun and quirky in it, and it's one of my favourite Steve Martin roles too. He's typical Steve Martin; obsessive, anxious and rather crazy whilst following the clues set by the road sign in this metaphysical search for true love where a newly divorced whacky weather man tries to win the heart of lovely English newspaper reporter.
There are so many famous face cameo roles to look out for in this giggle-fest, Shakespeare reference, bagpipes, colonic irrigation gags and one-liner's a-plenty. It's fun, bright and sunny (set in LA), quirky and original, and Steve Martin is perfect to watch in it. I like that whilst being a Hollywood Romance it IS realistic about the unlikeliness of a man like Steve Martin's character being compatible with a woman like SJP's character and it pokes fun at that and I love that Steve Martin wrote it himself, probably from his own observations and inside his own head jokes. Victoria Tennant and Richard E Grant also star. It's a sweet story, about how sometimes the universe does conspire to bring two people together, and a real feel good film.
