Lone Star State of Mind (2002)

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Absolutely Brilliant!

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is the worst movie Joshua Jackson has ever been associated with. The budget must have been donated by the local Dairy Queen. Acting was really bad. Josh needs to stick to his normal accent. He did not even get close to pulling off Texas slang.I found myself laughing at the movie, not because of it. The title suggests a Lone Star State of Mind???? The characters besides wearing a cowboy hat did not represent Texas or the Texan state of mind on any level. The only thing good about this movie was Jaime King.The script was pointless and the acting stunk; don't waste your time with this loser.

This Movie is a must! Don't let the cover fool you. This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. You'll laugh so much you will find yourself having to rewind just so you won't miss anything. The funny lines just keep on coming. After the first 5 min you won't be able to turn it off! Every time we have company we insist that our guest see the movie. Another really nice thing is there is very little cussing and no nudity. So mixed company is OK. I was even able to watch the movie with my elderly parents and my children without feeling uncomfortable. Everybody should own this one. We do! One more thing, try and guess who the character "TINKER" is? You won't believe it!

I watched this one time on cable - and got hooked! There is something about Earl's dry and droll narration, about Baby's innocent dreams about moving to L.A. in time to be discovered as a Soap Star by sweeps week - it has a gentleness to its humor that does not seem forced and stereotypically "redneck." The whole crazy idea of Earl and Baby being brother and sister, of Tinker and Junior's robbing the liquor store, Sheriff Andy - in any other setting these would be played more for their "Hee Haw" moments than they are here - it is presented as being such a natural state of affairs that the story draws you in and you actually believe the whole stupid mess could happen the way it unfolds. Only at the end when the story reaches the final shootout do things really take such a fantasy turn as to leave you going "yeah, right."

i have to say different to most of the comments on this film that it is good. i like the humour used, and i laughed all the way though, even my little brother liked it. i think that is hilarious, and keeps the same style of comedy all the way through (unlike some comedies i know). i think that the funnest character in it was Junior, he was hilarious, and so dumb, i wanted him to win in he end. i do have to say that this is at 3 on my top ten list of comedies. also i must add that i would have liked a better ending (but i won't mention as i don't want to give it away), but it was OK. if only it would have been more commercially advertised and more people would talk about it then it would have more comments on it, and everyone (par some) would love it.
