Description
Praise for Roxanne
Winner of Best Screenplay from The Writers Guild of America
"Behind the clownish make-up, Steve Martin gives a sweet and serious performance as a latter-day Cyrano de Bergerac in Roxanne. It's easy to see why Mr. Martin, who wrote the film ... was moved to reinvent this role ... Mr. Martin's screenplay is bighearted and funny."
–The New York Times
"A warm, nimble, utterly contemporary modern romance ... I can't think of a current movie in which every element is in such balance: Martin seems unfettered, expansive, utterly at ease ... there's a tenderness to him that's magnetic."
–Los Angeles Times
Praise for L.A. Story
"L.A. Story has a completely original spirit. It's wiggy yet deeply, helplessly romantic ... By placing L.A. at the center of his new movie, Martin is saying that the city encourages people to act out their own most eccentric selves. He lays out all of his own selves for us here, and, miraculously, they synthesize ... A mystifyingly funny experience."
–Los Angeles Times
"In L.A. Story, Steve Martin rushes in where wise men fear to tread and makes merry sport with the city of angels. As both the writer and star, Martin brings a puckish sense of irony that sets the right tone of the sunny, silly disenchantment ... It's also Martin's most personal film ... L.A. Story is giddy fun."
–Newsweek
Steve Martin is the author of Picasso at the Lapin Agile and Cruel Shoes, a collection of short stories. His writing has also been featured in The New Yorker. He lives in Los Angeles.
