Sheri 25 mins is no where near long enough for a connection. I won't give my clients anything less than an hour connection if at all possible and for sure nothing less than 45 minutes and then I notify them before doing that. There are just too many "what ifs" involved in that short of time.
Get yourself a room in LAX for the night and relax knowing you will make the next flight and you have your luggage! ;)
