I recently watched Sarah Jessica Parker on "Inside the Actors Studio" and the host (James Lipton)was going through all of her movies but just before he spoke of "State and Main" he paused..... looked at the audience.... took a deep breath and said "Now tell us about (long pause again) State and Main" their was a crescendo of clapping from the audience/students. So I decided to rent this movie to see what the whole "awe" was about. The Amazon description pretty much tells you what "State and Main" is about so I won't repeat it. The movie was quick, the dialogue between the characters witty and smart. The acting was definitely some of the best that I have seen in a long time. Alec Baldwin is so endearing as the "big-Hollywood" actor with a thing for young women (I'm talking teens), William H. Macy perfect as the director trying to keep the actors happy and the crew focused --- which was very funny in itself to watch :) Philip Seymour Hoffman always plays such interesting characters he does not disappoint in this one either, he is somewhat a idealistic writer who falls for the local bookstore owner (played by Rebecca Pidgeon) the interaction between these two was again smart, quick, witty lines... David Paymer was (in my personal opinion) the one that stole the movie he was a Hard A$$ producer he didn't take nothing from nobody str8 in your face and what a wonderful change to see this actor play such a part he is usually so secondary that I was pleasantly surprised. I must make honorable mention to Julia Stiles, Sarah Jessica Parker and Charles Durney whom all did a great job. This was just a very good movie all together the town folks, the town (perfect setting), the film crew (in the movie) great secondary characters. I wouldn't say that I had a lot of LOL moments but it did keep me engaged. I liked "Get Shorty" and "The Birdcage" I would put this movie in those categories for Smart Comedy with a very well written script and look at Hollywood coming into a small town and taking over.

This the movie that my wife and I enjoyed years ago, introducing us to Philip Seymour Hoffman. The other actors also do a great job, and there are many. This is the prime movie of the year in my opinion! "Nuff said! Go get a copy! Enjoy!

I bought this for my Personal Collection because I remember seeing it when it came out and loving it so I can't give you any details because I haven't really watched it yet. I do remember it was character-driven and I enjoyed it immensely and that's why I bought it.

A laughable behind the scenes look at a film crew that descends upon a small town to shoot a movie.
