Mamet's Crossroads Of Genius and Hilarity

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2000
Review: The title of David Mamet's new film, State and Main, represents a crossroads right in the middle of the All-American town. It's appropriate since it's a wee little town being invaded by a Hollywood film crew to tackle their latest project. For this...

The Fun "State And Main" Holds Up Better Over Time!

Date of Review:  Mar 15, 2009
The Bottom Line: Funny throughout, "State And Main" tells the story of a beleaguered movie company trying to make a film, with a movie-in-a-movie comedy.
Review: Every now and then, I find myself watching a movie I am convinced I saw, but never got around to reviewing. Before I recently watched "State And Main" with my fiance and family, for example, I was sure I had seen it. I knew what it was about, after...

Hollywood Meets Waterford

Date of Review:  May 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: David Mamet should strive for as much film creative control as possible, and State And Main serves as proof.
Review: "State And Main" is yet another sign of proof that if David Mamet has a hand in writing a film, he should direct it. When his only task of the film is the writing, we often can't really see his talent (though films like "The Verdict" and "Wag The...

State and Main: Plenty of Charm, but No Carbohydrates

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2002
The Bottom Line: A delicious little kickshaw, which is sure to kick Shaw out of the top spot for best-written dialogue.
Review: I?ve always wanted to be a celebrity, I think.

I?ve even got my own Klondike bar commercial all planned out.

You know those Klondike bar commercials, right? Those spots with the sunny-voiced announcer trying to get noteworthy...

Waiting on the laughs

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you have a rent two get three deal, make it your free one.
Review: Several reviewers, including Rolling Stone, said this was a "funny", "hilarious", or "fun" film. It's been two days since I watched it and I'm still waiting for the hilarity to hit me. Maybe around July 4 I'll think of something really original and...

This is an IMPORTANT film

Date of Review:  Jul 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: You might not get many of the jokes. It's also not an action or a mystery film. However, it's a great production and will really expose you to David Mamet.
Review: Children in school are taught that Shakespeare is an ?important historical writer.? Among modern writers, David Mamet is one of those that hold this status of ?important writer.? Therefore, this film is one where the writing defines the acting,...

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2001
The Bottom Line: More accessible than other Mamet films, this ensemble satire gets in its share of humorous, worthwhile jabs.
Review: After savagely biting into the world of politics with his screenplay for Wag the Dog, writer-director David Mamet turns to the world of moviemaking with this Hollywood satire that may not be as stinging as Wag the Dog, but still leaves its mark on...

Inane...Never Trust a Guy who wears a Bow -tie

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2001
The Bottom Line: You may like this movie if you enjoy reading cereal boxes at breakfast. It would be a stretch to call it entertaining. (I didn't like it). You might.
Review: If you have to watch a movie that everyone says is a comedy, I suppose you could pick this one from the list. No one dies in the film , boy gets girl, and sooner or later nearly everyone does the RIGHT THING...for the wrong reasons. It is not the...

Go You Huskies!

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 2005
The Bottom Line: see it for a rare funny story and ensemble acting from Mamet & Co.
Review: Clever, quotable, and funny David Mamet's dialogue is loved by performers because of its literate substance. "State and Main" like "Day for Night" is a look on the inside of the very crazy business of putting together a film and there are some real...

One You Should Have Seen, But Probably Missed

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2001
The Bottom Line: Even though you haven't seen, and may not have even heard of, State and Main, go see it. You won't be dissapointed.
Review: State and Main is one of those movies that most people missed, which means it won't ever get the kind of credit it deserves. It's one of those Hollywood novelties that relies on great characters and a strong script, supplemented by wonderful acting...
