State and Main

Plot: A film company comes to a small town to film a movie. Everything goes wrong.
Review: Boring. I tried to like it I really did. I love the premise of taking us behind the scenes of a motion picture and spoofing it. I liked America's Sweethearts. It had the same type of premise, but it was funnier. This movie was not. It was annoying. There are a few good moments. I liked Alec Baldwin's "hobby", Sarah Jessica Parker is always great, and I liked the love story between the screenwriter and a local bookstore owner. The movie in its entirety, however, was just painfully slow paced. If the pace moved a bit faster, I think I would've liked it more. Such a shame. What a great script.
