About L.A. Story
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.
Directed by Mick Jackson, L.A. Story leans on a strong ensemble — Steve Martin, Victoria Tennant, Richard E. Grant — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1991.
