Reviews
O.k. Steve Martin is a very talented and funny man with a tendency at his best to be inspired and at his worst, sentimental. What you have here are examples of the two extremes. Roxanne, one of his inspired creations and LA Story, a turgid piece of sentimentalism with an occasional spark. I am english, twenty years resident in Spain. Writer and actor. I don't go for the crass sentimentalism of a lot of Hollywood product. (I know that LA Story was well received in the states) You might like it. Steve Martin has made a lot of squirm-inducing films in my opinion and this book shows him as a writer at his best and his worst.
