L.A. Story
Something funny is happening in L.A.
Directed by Mick Jackson
Produced by L.A. Films, Carolco Pictures
A whimsical romantic comedy that uses magical realism and absurdist humor to celebrate the strangeness of Los Angeles and the possibility of connection amid urban chaos.
With the help of a talking freeway billboard, a "wacky weatherman" tries to win the heart of an English newspaper reporter, who is struggling to make sense of the strange world of early-90s Los Angeles.
