NOTES I really enjoyed this film, many others haven't. It tries to be an all encompassing picture of what life is like in L.A.

Kline nearly loses his car and his life as he takes the wrong

turning driving home from a match and thereby meets Glover

who owns a garage and saves his life.

Kline's wife discovers a baby in the bushes and adopts it.

And a whole host of other events are going on.

Glover has a daughter who is deaf. We don't see her but he

uses a special phone to communicate with her. He types in

his messages and receives hers as type on a screen.
