State and Main

Date of Review:  Jul 25, 2001
The Bottom Line: It is not Mamet's best, but I have certainly seen a lot worse.
Review: State and Main is a comedy from David Mamet, a well known and well respected filmmaker. Some of his writing credits include Glengarry Glenn Ross, Hoffa, Wag the Dog, and the Hannibal screenplay. He occasionally directs his own films, and State and...

Living in Oblivion, Vermont

Date of Review:  May 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: Though it is not as deliciously fun as The Spanish Prisoner or deep and engrossing like Glengarry Glen Ross, State and Main is still another knockout film from David Mamet.
Review: (Dir: David Mamet, Starring William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rebecca Pidgeon, Julia Stiles, David Paymer, Sarah Jessica Parker, Alec Baldwin, Patti LuPone, Charles Durning, Ricky Jay, Jim Frangione, Clark Gregg, Linda Kimbrough, Michael...

Hate and Pain

Date of Review:  Mar 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: Plain awful. Terrible. I'm looking for my thesaurus. One of the most un-funny comedies I have ever sat through.
Review: For the record, I am never allowed to pick out a movie at Blockbuster again. This is truly one of the four or five worst movies I have ever seen. There isn't one moment in this film when you will go so far as to even smile. In fact, I had a hard...

State And Main - Where Show Biz Underachievers Pitch Inside Baseball

Date of Review:  Apr 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: Movies about making movies can be as riveting and hypnotic as books about writing books. "Close your eyes... you are getting veddy, veddy sleepy..."
Review: When I view a film (or watch a movie) I want to be challenged or inspired... or at least have something to show for my investment of time and electricity when the bombs stop dropping and the lips stop moving. At the conclusion, the worst thing that...

No Wonder It Didn't Have a Long Run in Theaters...

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: You'd be wasting your time and lowering your IQ on this one, it's incomplete and choppy, as well as morally insulting. Rent another.
Review: On the 4th of July, I happily picked up two movies that I thought would tide me over until I had to make 16 appearances at various BBQ's held by people who I either barely knew, or had grown up with. Boy was I wrong. My first mistake was 'Dr T. and...

Everybody needs a hobby!

Date of Review:  Jul 11, 2001
The Bottom Line: Just as long as Mamet doesn't base any characters on himself again, we're safe.
Review: The first movie written by David Mamet I saw was Wag the Dog, and I loved it. Maybe I was a little biased because I admired the actors in it immensely, but Wag the Dog was also the first movie that made me realize what a great screenplay could do to...

Witty, Sophisticated Farce

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2000
Review: In this part satire, part screwball comedy, writer/director David Mamet explores what happens when a Hollywood movie crew invades the quaint New England town of Waterford, Vermont.

The story revolves around an idealistic, insecure and...

Cute comedy/film-making satire

Date of Review:  Jan 30, 2001
The Bottom Line: Cute, satirical, witty. If this abhors you, stay clear of it. Otherwise, give it a try.
Review: We went out to see 'Shadow of the Vampire', yet that proved to be too popular, and we couldn't attain the tickets for it. So we weighed our options and decided that 'State and Main' seemed worth a try.

'State and Main' is a well done...

Mametian comedy - who'da thunk it?

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 2000
Review: David Mamet has got a distinctive style that usually screams for drama, as in The Untouchables or thrilling intrigue like Glengarry Glenross. The dialogue he writes is so off the cuff and non-committal that his characters are forced to fulfill their...

State and Main: A Great Film About Bad Movies

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2000
Review: Every Baldwin family member makes me nervous and after some long hours of convincing me to re-think that promise I once made ("I hate Baldwins! I'm never going to see a movie with those mofos ever!), I gave in and went to see State and Main. :)
