Mid-Atlantic twaddle! - L.A. Without a Map review by TE

Spoiler Alert
01/04/2020

I watched this out of Aki Kaurismaki completism (it's directed by his brother and a version of the Leningrad Cowboys band makes an appearance). It has a certain fluffy charm for the first 20 minutes, but then becomes tedious and annoying.

Vinessa Shaw looks great as David Tennant's love interest, but the Tennant character is such an unlikeable prat that there is never any justification for her to be with him.

Plenty of star cameos, but all to no effect.
