Chief Chick Comments

Hard to understand why this rated an Oscar nomination. I found it somewhat pedestrian with a lot of wandering around...in this case L.A. in the early 1970's. Gary Valentine meets Alana, 10 years his senior, at sophmore photo day at high school. She works for the photographer; however, Gary decides he will marry her. For the rest of this long film, she is involved with Gary in his various money making activities and his acting career on a TV comedy. He seems mature in some ways for his age but still a bit goofy. Surprisingly, Alana's world opens up, especially after she serves as Gary's chaperone on a trip to New York for a talk show appearance with the cast of his show. Frankly, I got bored, and I actually remember the early 70's...music OK but not a lot to love fashion wise or anything else. Catch Sean Penn and Bradley Cooper as Hollywood A listers.
