"Nobody walks in L.A." tells the story of a young man, just betrayed by his fiancé, who gets visit from a friend of his trying to cheer him up a bit. Like back in school, they wander around the streets of L.A., hitting Pause on life and trying to figure out what decisions to make for their future lives.
What I liked most about this film is that it stays pretty close to actual life. Of course you can tell that the dialogues were scripted, but overall I had a feeling like a lot of those things could actually happen. There isn't any unnecessary drama, things are not made worse or more important than they really are. Instead you get a sense for chances and missed opportunities, for how decisions can make you feel split and you search for hold in a life that's not pausing. It is maybe a bit unrealistic that they make so many random encounters in a city of the size of L.A. but nonetheless this is a movie that makes time fly and makes it easy to adopt.
All in all I was really pleased. The film doesn't look like low budget at all and makes its point without hammering it into the audience's minds. If you like this kind of movies generally, you will have a lot of fun with this one.

Eh, not great, but you don't feel like shutting it off either. It could be that I'm older, and the lives of these 30-year-olds seem cliche and uninteresting. He used to be a lawyer, now he's a (idealistic) teacher. Never heard that before. She's going to move to NY to open some art thing and scared about it. That's a new one. And their relationship doesn't work for me. Would he really like to have her instead of his fiancee, or what? She's just a little too hot, and he's just a bit too dorky, for them to be a couple.
The real star of the film is LA. It's lovingly portrayed and has so many cool spots. The LA Chamber of Commerce couldn't have done it better.
Watch before sunrise instead
It had better Actors,and better script,and way better chemistry chemistry The two biggest problem with this movie is the chemistry,and the dialogue. Which again leads back to the chemistry. It just isn't there,you just don't feel the friendship they're suppose to have.
It's hard to put the finger on just what it is,that was wrong with the chemistry between the two actors.They just don't fit together good enough, to make you believe they are long time best friends. You simply don't care enough about them to be interested in their life and what they talk about. They don't really seem like longtime friends.More like distant step siblings,making the best of the situation.
I like the idea of it though.Just walking with someone you really connect with, and talk about nothing and everything.Having no purpose to where you going,just walk,and go where the feet takes you. And no phones
People don't really do that today.We mostly have different people we talk with,about different stuff.
