Featured reviews
In the film you are warned beforehand that in LA the line between dreams and reality is thinner, but once you take the quirkiness away, the script is a classic boy meets girl. I love Max Landis and I think he is a brilliant writer, but this movie didn't feel quite right.
I was laughing (which is grand in itself), but I predicted every joke before it happened. I wasn't surprised by the weirdness, therefore it felt superfluous.
Without actually disliking the film - I had quite a bit of fun - I can't call it a success either. The sense of being off is quite strong. The actors did great, as well. Perhaps it was all too quirky without needing to. I don't know. I really think Landis can do a lot better.

This show is so Max. I love it!
This is full of great writing with so many funny lines and bits that I only finish laughing from the last one to hear/see the next one! As always, Max is making his own decisions against the tonic of the tropes with full understanding of what he is breaking.
This is a love story for the characters, including the character of Los Angeles. "L.A. Story" is another favorite ode to the neurotic, crazy, loveliness of that bunch of cities posing as one. This its new generational piece by one of its great, young, creative L.A. characters, Max Landis.
When shows like this are the norm, never forget who got us here first.
If you want to see his CV, look online and at "Chronicle" and "American Ultra," his other features.
Don't hesitate, see this if you haven't and show your friends!

I was just running through the films of the best shaped bodybuilder of all time, just trying to spot her, but this movie got me.
I'm not the first one to get hooked by romantic movies, but I'm fond of a good lighthearted comedic romantic movie, those are always special.
This somehow catched me, and I love when that happens.
And as the film pointed it out in the very end, the fact that like all the characters were gay in this one, didn't matter at all. These were just people trying to figure out life, themselves, everything, to the point the two main character boggled into a semi-hetero relationship with each other, and it was about figruing out what this is, where their carreer is, and the big questions of life in general.
This was funny without telling jokes, it was just heartwarming.
Very good structure, great acting, good atmosphere.
Classic cinema.

Max Landis clearly had an idea that is presented well at some moments but completely missed at others. While it's far from bad, it's also just as far from good. The performances are spot on, Haley Osment feels like Michael Cera in 'This Is The End'. The general plot does give a borderline 'Chasing Amy' feel, but Max does manage to bring a much more surreal and intimate take on it. As I said, this works well in some scenes more than others. Not a perfect film, but exactly what I was expecting from such a creative and surreal writer. The indie atmosphere is certainly an acquired taste, but if you have a certain appreciation for the film industry, then you won't feel like you're wasting time watching this film.
Brilliant Max Landis adoption of a story about the mental torments of members of the LA gay/lesbian citizens restricted by their monogamous family culture /upbringing.
Seriously entertaining, apart from that in times of Polyamory being widespread the story is hard to relate to, except you're at the same mindset as the protagonists.
Nevertheless no lame minute thanks ro Max Landis. Bring it on! (..nothing lately..whats up?)
