State and Main

Not your run of the mill Hollywood shoot 'em up, action movie. This movie is amusing with its making fun of the 'Hollywood' movie making scene by showing some of what goes on behind the scenes with scandal cover ups and payoffs amongst other things.

Alec Baldwin, Julia Stiles, Charles Durning, Clark Gregg, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, David Paymer, Patti Lupone, William H, Macy and Rebecca Pidgeonn all star in this light hearted comedy which will probably be on video in the near future.

A big budget movie crew descends on a small town in Vermont, after being thrown out of their previous location. They are already over budget, out of money, having to re-write the script and in need of an Old Mill, which just isn't ever going to be found.

The towns folk are somewhat inviting at first, but some dancing between the actors and the law have the movie shooting in jeopardy.

A cute movie to watch for a change of pace.
