L.A. Without a Map (1998)

Description

Richard (David Tennant) has his life turned upside down when he meets Barbara (Vinessa Shaw), a beautiful aspiring actress on her way to Los Angeles. Leaving his inherited undertaker‘s business and his dull life behind; he crosses the Atlantic in pursuit of love and adventure, accidentally finding himself a career as a screenwriter. Thrown in at the deep end, he discovers that life in Southern California is far from straightforward. Stylish, funny, and fast–paced, with a screenplay adapted from Richard Rayner‘s autobiographical cult hit novel "Los Angeles Without a Map", this is a hilarious fish–out–of–water love story with some surprising guest stars.
