British don't do cowboy

I've read the novel Los Angeles Without A Map by Richard Rayner a couple of times and truly liked it. When the movie (directed by Mika Kaurismäki) came out I was pretty jazzed about it. It was funny and pretty rough around the edges. Now, 20 years later, the story of a Scottish undertaker following an American girl he just met to Los Angeles and finding the place amazing and weird at the same time, it's bit outdated. And it's not that funny now either, reasonably entertaining though.
