Have you ever wanted to integrate? Well, this man did it. From the streets of New York to the hills of Los Angeles came Harry Lockhart. A man who desires to fit in with people who don't want him, a man who pretends to be something he's not, and a man who strives to have "the girl who has fled." All because he's new to Los Angeles. "It's one of Downey's most enjoyable performances and one of Kilmer's funniest. It's a relationship comedy wrapped in sharp talk and gunfire, a triumphant return for Black and one of best films of the year." (E. Russell) a film that incorporated all of these things and more.

Harry is seen as something of a loser in Los Angeles and no matter how hard he tried to be "cool" or fit in, no one would accept him into his peer group. Although in the end he ends up becoming friends with Perry and even his detective partner and begins to fit in with the whole LA party scene. Harry in the film also tries to fit in by pretending to be many things he is not. At the very beginning of the movie, he's on the run from the police and he accidentally walks into an audition for acting and passes, so they hired him as an aspiring actor, which was again a lie. Right before meeting Harmony Faith Lane, his high school crush, at the bar, he meets a pretty woman who asked him what he did for a living and he responded with the answer; "I'm a detective.
