Roller Skating In L. A.

When in love some guys write poems, some sing songs, some fight wars, and some buy flowers.
Not Steve Martin. He makes a movie. A very funny movie.
"LA Story" made in 1991 staring Steve Martin.
This film is a love story between Martin, the city of Los Angels, and his then wife Victoria Tennant.
Martin plays a TV weatherman Harris Telemacher just trying to survive the insanity of life in Los Angeles California. Then Harris falls in love, with a girl played by Sarah Jessica Parker, a woman played by Tennant, and his city L A played by itself.
This movie is a cynical and warped look at L A culture, love, and cappuccino.
