Movie Reviews of State and Main
Movie Review: A Very Clever, Refreshing and Surprising Satirical Comedy!
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched David's Mamet's "State and Main" for the first time the other day and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Casting Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the leading man in this story was a stroke of brilliance. Hoffman brings that refreshing regular guy attitude to his role. Rebecca Pidgeon, David Paymer, William H.Macy, Alec Baldwin, Charles Durning, Sarah Jessica Parker, Julia Stiles and Jonathon Katz join Hoffman in the ensemble cast. Mamet's script and direction make this Hollywood satire a very enjoyable two hours. For anybody who has not seen this movie, it is highly recommended. Pidgeon, also Mamet's wife, is the shining light as the likable book store owner.Movie Review: Definately Underated
Summary: 4 Stars
Very reminiscent of America's Sweethearts, this comedy of Hollywood meets Smalltown, USA was really cute. Julia Stiles and Sarah Jessica Parker are fantastic as Julia tries to work her way to Hollywood by seducing the movie's leading man (Alec Baldwin) and Sarah tries to maintain her starlett aura by seducing everyone. The main story line, involving Phillip Hoffman's (the screenwriter) struggle to constantly re-write his story to fit the film and, in tandem, fall in love with a small town woman, is a bit long in the tooth. One has to credit Hoffman though, becuase he plays out the part beautifully while keeping it light.Movie Review: So, That happened!
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, this movie is actually quite fantastic and while I won't bore you with trying to show how smart I can be and point to how "this" charater is flat or "that" dialogue is pitch perfect, I want to say this. The scene in which Alec Baldwin flips the car is worth the price of, at least, a rental. His reaction, to what has just occurred, has to be one of the, single, funniest takes in movie history. Besisdes, Philip Hoffman is in it, need I say more.Movie Review: STATE AND MAIN
