She's... unexpected. She doesn't feel like she ever strains to be likable. She remains somewhat unknown. The most successful love stories are supposed to make you fall in love with both of the on-screen lovers and I don't think this movie does that, but I also think it works in its own odd way, like a window into somebody else's wavelength. I don't speak their secret language, but I get it, and admire that it's theirs and theirs alone.Jason Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254334131909339157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13372093.post-54818369425749351312020-06-29T11:15:43.901-04:002020-06-29T11:15:43.901-04:00It would be hard for me to give LA Story a second ...It would be hard for me to give LA Story a second chance. Love Steve Martin. But, I saw LA Story in a theatre when it came out and my main memory of it was how dreadful Victoria Tenant was in every scene. Took me right out of the movie because I thought she was so bad. What made it worse is that Steve was married to her at the time. I remember thinking "blinded by love". I didn't check to see if they were still married. And can't really remember much about the movie except how much I hated her performance. Eugenenoreply@blogger.com
