Excellent film, great cast and didn't anyone notice the pictures that were put in there on purpose (yet done in a subtle way) Like the photos of "Elvira" on the wall in the apartment (when the actress who played Elvira was also in the film sans the black wig.... Or when Tom Hulce and the boy went to deliver the pizza and Hulce stopped briefly to pause to look at the photo of Wolfgang Amadeus on the wall of the house? (Hulce was nominated for an academy award for his depiction of Amadeus two years earlier before this film)
I really thought the writing was superb too and ...God it even made me miss Los Angeles!
I give this film a 9 out of 10. I hadn't seen it since my teens when it came out and was so glad to get to see it again on cable.
I highly recommend it...an intelligent well directed pic for all.
