This show is so Max. I love it! This is full of great writing with so many funny lines and bits that I only finish laughing from the last one to hear/see the next one! As always, Max is making his own decisions against the tonic of the tropes with full understanding of what he is breaking.This is a love story for the characters, including the character of Los Angeles. "L.A. Story" is another favorite ode to the neurotic, crazy, loveliness of that bunch of cities posing as one. This its new generational piece by one of its great, young, creative L.A. characters, Max Landis.When shows like this are the norm, never forget who got us here first.If you want to see his CV, look online and at "Chronicle" and "American Ultra," his other features.Don't hesitate, see this if you haven't and show your friends!

Honestly, I loved this movie. It was comedic and touching without taking the viewer on an emotional roller-coaster. Having grown up in Los Angeles, I could really relate to the jokes regarding the city itself. It is by no means a movie that can be taken 100% seriously, as there are plenty of things that don't make sense and would never happen in real life. It has trippy elements to it that make it seem like the characters are sometimes high out of their minds. For some this might take away from the plot and make it seem insincere, but for me it just made me laugh even more. If you're looking for a lighthearted movie with major gay characters, some drama, and a silly adventure, you've hit the jackpot.

Max Landis' work as a screenwriter, YouTuber and pop culture figure/personality has been very divisive. He often finds himself under scrutiny as "obnoxious" or "intolerable". I never really got these. Maybe I'm both of those things, but someone having a different opinion than you and maybe a flamboyant way of putting that across should never be dismissed. Maybe I was predisposed to enjoy the heck out of this film. It deals well with a man discovering he's gay, a woman discovering she's bisexual, and a guy admitting he's depressed and unsatisfied. "Him", "Her", and "Me" - the "me" being a stand-in for Landis himself, presumably. The humour, the subject matter and the way it's dealt with, all come together well. The way it's shot comes across cheap, but with cinematic-enough lighting that you can look past that pretty quickly. I don't see what makes it "bad". It's just not going to have much of a lasting impact on me or the world. It's a good enough first feature. Didn't have to be a Whiplash or 10 Cloverfield Lane- type directorial debut. Too harshly judged.

Sappy, artificial drama that'll make you squirm in your seat out of sheer discomfort. Max Landis lacks restraint when it comes to comedy, beating a joke over the audience with wild abandon. There are some genuinely funny moments (like Haley Joel Osment's cameo, and...), but they don't make up for petty, inconsequential drama. The characters almost seem to be a modern take on 90's sitcom caricatures; they overreact to everything--to which it seems we're suppose to find amusing...but it isn't--and they are as self-absorbed as humanly possible. With three unlikable leads and a jarring sense of humor... Me Him Her really could of used more of Haley Joel Osment and Scott Bakula.
