NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Majorthebys Charming and brutal
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
kruithoff2001 Well I think that this movie is absolutely hilarious. It had my entire family and all of my friends that I have had watch this movie rolling on the ground and laughing through the whole thing. I give props to the writer and director for making a movie that can keep people nonstop laughing. And I'm sorry to the people that cannot laugh at this movie it must be hard to live life with your head stuck up your butt. Maybe it's my ability to relate to the people in the movie. I have family down south and northern United States that act like this. But my English professor even laughed when she watched it. So there is nothing wrong with getting in touch with your hillbilly side and cracking up at this movie.
apf2925 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."
foxinsocks22 This is one of those movies that gets funnier every time I watch it. There's so much to get that I didn't catch the first time around ("Move to California and watch the sun rise...") I find myself quoting it all the time, especially Junior ("I ain't dumb... you're dumb," "this here phone's better than a panicky finger any day!").It's even funnier if you're actually from a small town in Texas. There's a real life version of every character in every small Texas town.If you've only seen it once and didn't like it, see it again. If you haven't seen it before, watch it ten times in a row.
rellerd I thought Lone Star State of Mind was hilarious - and coming from a Texan, that's a mighty fine compliment. See y'all, most movies of this caliber make Texans look like a bunch of backwater hillbillies. (No offense to backwater hillbillies). But Lone Star State of Mind takes you on a ride through every stereotype and urban legend that makes Texas such a unique place. Everyone in Bennett Texas has a story and they all evolve around levelheaded good-guy Earl who is hell-bent on living up to his promise to his sassy star-struck fiancé, Baby. He told her he would keep her cousin Junior out of trouble. A tall, tall order. Cause Junior ain't got the sense to avoid the dumbest, just released, ex-con, soon-to-be criminal in the world, Tinker. And using maxi-pad mask they rob a pizza dude which inadvertently gets them mixed up in Texas-style drug lord's business. And Earl keeps getting shot, which make Baby real angry so she runs over Tinker. It's hilarious! And it makes fun of us Texans just like the rest of them. But it does it without being insulting – so much. Sad to say, I've known someone like each person in the movie. Like our ad says, 'Texas, it's a whole other country.'
