A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I live down south and find myself quoting this movie all the time. Watch this movie if you want to laugh so hard you might pee. Do not watch this movie if you are trying to break a world record for not laughing and only have 90 minutes to go.A great cast complements a script and this one was perfect. I've talked friends and family into watching this movie and everyone that's watched has told me it really is one of the funniest movies they have seen.There is some partial nudity and adult situations it may not be for everyone but I've shared this with folks I go to church with and They thought it was funny and in good taste.

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 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.' Why don't you visit and try our Lone Star State of Mind?
