You would think this movie would be promising with its cast, but you would be wrong. Most characters are boring/stupid/ and/or unlikeable, and the ending left me utterly perplexed and wishing that I had that last hour and 40 minutes back.... Full review

This is a quirky sort of movie that intrigues but really doesn't lead anywhere. McDormand is entertaining and provocative as the pot-smoking enfant terrible who takes a fancy to her son's straight-laced fiancee. This seems to be the most memorable plot... Full review

Laurel Canyon is the kind of film that wins you over with its easy style, its laid-back charm, but when you start thinking about its characters and developments, it just frustrates you with its shallowness. The best compliment I can pay Laurel Canyon is that it is an undoubtedly sexy film ... Full Review
