About this product

Product Information

In the screwball comedy STATE AND MAIN, writer-director David Mamet reveals that the only thing more corrupt than Hollywood moviemaking is a small American town that is willing to stoop to any level to be a part of it. Marshalling an all-star ensemble, Mamet chronicles a movie production's arrival in sleepy Waterford, Vermont. Walt Price (William H. Macy), the smooth-talking, Machiavellian chief of the effort, has four days before shooting begins--he has to scout locations (the old mill he expected to use as a set burned down forty years ago), keep his egotistical stars out of trouble, and charm the locals. The writer, Joe White (Philip Seymour Hoffman), wrestles with endless script changes and finds himself getting involved with a charming Waterford bookshop owner (Rebecca Pidgeon). The townspeople only condemn the slick tinseltown interlopers when they're not currying their favor, hoping for a shot at the big time. Mamet lets each successive crisis among these folks build to hilarious chaos; healthy doses of one-liners and clever plotting are balanced with a character-driven comic tale. Mamet's dialogue, known for its rapid-fire, repetitious wit, is perfectly matched to both Macy's fast-talking damage control and Pidgeon's homespun wisdom--the result is light-hearted comedy that feels legitimately profound.

Best movie in a long time, in my humble opnion!
This the movie that my wife and I enjoyed years ago, introducing us to Philip Seymour Hoffman. The other actors also do a great job, and there are many. This is the prime movie of the year in my opinion! "Nuff said! Go get a copy! Enjoy!

What I remember
I bought this for my Personal Collection because I remember seeing it when it came out and loving it so I can't give you any details because I haven't really watched it yet. I do remember it was character-driven and I enjoyed it immensely and that's why I bought it.

Witty and tongue-in-cheek humor
A bit dated but funny turns from known character actors
