Description of Lone Star State of Mind:
Joshua Jackson of Dawson's Creek and ex-model Jamie (formerly James, Pearl Harbor) King are (Lone) star-crossed lovers in this broad rural romantic comedy. Despite the fact that they've recently become step-siblings, Jackson and King are in love and want to flee their small Texas hometown for Hollywood. A kink in their plan arises in the low-wattage form of King's cousin (DJ Qualls), who lands in hot water with the local mob after robbing a drug dealer. Jackson must now make things right with a host of unsavory criminal types and get King to Tinseltown. Jackson is personable as the reluctant hero, and King is easy on the eyes, but the rest of the cast (which includes Matt Davis, Thomas Haden Church, and John Mellencamp) mugs furiously, and the script rarely aims any higher than poking fun at Southwestern stereotypes. --Paul Gaita
Lone Star State of Mind Reviews:
I really cant tell you yet.... 
2008-03-31 - I ordered this product on march 11 with the estimated arrival date being the 21 and Im still wating on it and its the 31 I know it some times takes a while but I thought it would arrive a little more timely.
Cheese, anyone? 
2007-03-09 - So, I first saw this movie upon the request of my boyfriend, who like me, lives in Texas. It's not an awful movie, it has a few spurts of comedy, but for the most part it's just one cheesey cliche moment after the other.
And I'm also worried that out-of-state viewers of this film (though God knows why they would want to watch it in the first place) might get the wrong impression of Texas. It's not just a bunch of BBQ joints and bars and boots and cowboys. Sure, we've got it all, but this movie makes it seem like California is salvation in comparison.
The acting was not terrible. The script was less-than-clever, and an actor can only do so much with what he's given. But accents go in and out a bit, and it just wasn't entertaining. It was cute at best.
I would say, okay watch the movie. But only if it's free. And only if you are prepared to roll your eyes.
sorry, think its a disappointment.
2007-01-16 - I was recommended this movie by two friends, in this recommendation they acted out a certain part of the movie which caused me to laugh but when I saw the movie, It didnt tickle my fancy. I would of been better off just having my friends re tell the parts, cause they verison surely is more funny than what was really acted out. Needless to say, I got about half way through the movie and didnt finish it as of yet, its just sitting around on the shelf collecting dust, which is more than it deserves.
Hysterical 
2007-01-10 - The first time I saw this movie was the day I came home from the hospital after having my oldest child. I laughed so hard I was afraid I was going to bust my stitches. LOL I love it, every time I watch I still find it hysterical. This is the third copy we have bought...toddlers can destroy a DVD no matter how "indestructible" the industry says they are. I plan to keep this one under lock and key as it is my absolute favorite movie.
Very Funny...
2006-12-29 - I agree with the reviewer that you MAY have to be Texan to LOVE this film, but it IS hilarious. When Jr. says the "bad guys" beat him up and made him feel bad about himself, I nearly cried from laughing. I borrowed it from a friend, watched it last night, and bought it this morning. I'll probably watch it with everyone I know.
