Echo Park DVD

Susan Dey ("L.A. Law") is beguiling and sexy, and Oscar nominee Tom Hulce (Amadeus) gives a winning performance in this low-key, unaffected and very funny movie about the hopes, loves and friendship of three dreamers. Co-starring Michael Bowen (Magnolia) and featuring Cheech Marin (Of Cheech and Chong) and Cassandra Petersen (Elvira, Mistress Of The Dark), this wonderfully offbeat and irresistibly charming film is a delight!

Dey portrays May, a single mother who dreams of stardom in the L.A. neighbourhood of Echo Park. To make ends meet, she takes a job as a stripper and rents out a room to Jonathan (Hulce), a pizza-delivering songwriter who immediately falls for her. But May's interest lies in the bodybuilder-next-door (Bowen). And even as the trio forms a fast friendship that supports them in the face of Hollywood's heartbreaks, Jonathan's jealousy threatens to get the better of him - and to destroy the only true family that any of them have in Echo Park
