This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Tobias Burrows
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Local Texas hicks get mixed up in a tangle of improbable events. Devoid of thematic depth, the film's convoluted, overly contrived story plays out like a cartoon, with characters that are shallow and two-dimensional; none of them are worth caring about. The story has too many villains. The "Junior" character is funny for the first thirty seconds, then quickly becomes irritating. About the best I can say for the inane story is that the ending does contain a nifty plot twist.The general absence of country/western music was both surprising and disappointing. Acting is fairly good overall, with Joshua Jackson giving perhaps the best performance. The film's editing is excellent.Reminiscent of "The Dukes Of Hazard" and aimed at exactly that audience, "Lone Star State Of Mind" is played strictly for laughs. A low budget, boot-scootin' comedy that many viewers seem to enjoy, it's a harmless diversion ... nothing more.

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!

The reason why I like this movie is the chemistry and the dialogue between Earl and Baby. I know most of the characters in this movie - in the South, the Southwest, the West, the Midwest, and especially Texas (it seems more of an East Texas or the Hill Country).Jaime King was especially good as a wanna-to-get-outta-here-fast girl. And the she push the buttons on Joshua Johnson's character (Earl) but everything that Earl does to please Baby goes awry. To me, this is a comedy of errors (like Black Adder). Earl and Baby have to deal with various nitwits or relatives (sometimes both). I think the title to this flick should "Murphy's Law." Jaime King had a decent script (for once) and she makes the most out of it - she puts her soul into her part and she shines. The whole cast was pretty good. It reminds me of "Dummy," but with so many ignorant hillbilly redneck cracker references - but it also shows family dysfunction in a good funny light.

In the small town of Bennett, in Texas, the mechanic Earl Crest (Joshua Jackson) is a simple good man, who loves his stepsister Baby (Jaime King). She works as a waitress in a dining place, and aims to be an actress in Los Angeles, saving some money and planning to move with Earl to become a TV starlet. Earl's father was killed by a man, who promised to find Earl when he left jail, and Earl's mother married the father of Baby, who has been Earl's girlfriend since high-school. When the morons Junior (DJ Qualls) and Tinker (Ryan Hurst) steal the money and drugs by chance of a drug-dealer, Earl gets the robbery and keeps it in a locker, trying to save the retarded Junior from the possible wraith of the bandits, and gets involved in a confused situation, with two gangs trying to retrieve the money and the drugs. "Lone Star State of Mind" is a funny entertainment. There are many good jokes in the messed situations Earl gets involved to help his retardate relative. I liked this movie and laughed a lot. The beauty of Jaime King shines, and the cast is very hilarious. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Dinheiro e Má Companhia" ("Money and Bad Company")
