There are some cute moments here but nothing to write home about. The inside-Hollywood jokes are just that.

Reviews for L.A. Twister
1 - 15 (sorted by date)
The barely watchable buddy comedy L.A. Twister is so sloppily put together it bungles its recycled movie-within-a-movie conceit.
12/09/04
Top CriticThe whole thing seems way too self-congratulatory; an indie movie that's all about celebrating people who make indie movies.

This L.A. story is more like a straight to video kind of movie than one to rush out and see on the big screen.
09/03/04
Fun and entertaining but ends up lending an air of contrivance that keeps you from taking it too much to heart.
09/02/04
Top CriticOne of those feeble little efforts you'd be inclined to skip at a minor film festival--with good reason.

Pape and Saville-Read are so busy winking and chuckling over their own clever lampooning of Hollywood conventions that they forget to make the rest of us care.
08/27/04
Top CriticIn trying to qualify as mordant satire, charming rom-com, uplifting buddy movie about underdogs trying to stick it to the man and the most meta story ever told, L.A. Twister sprains itself badly.
08/26/04
Top CriticAs written by Geoffrey Saville-Read and directed by Sven Pape, the satire is toothless.
08/26/04
The best thing about “L.A. Twister” is the energetic, snappy performance by Zack Ward
08/24/04
Seeing Hollywood as a business indifferent to dreamers with no cash flow isn't a revelation, but a given. If you're going to hold a mirror up to Tinseltown, at least try tilting it at a new angle.
08/20/04
Top CriticBoth Daly and Ward turn in fine performances ... Undercutting their efforts and the movie's believability are the on-set hijinks strangely included at the end of certain scenes.
08/15/04
Silly, good-natured and full of unlikely moves.
08/13/04
The semiserious comedy by director Sven Pape is in its own category, and unfortunately it's not always an interesting one.
