	DVD Review - State And Main (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		"State and Main" is that rare film that can make you laugh out loud and think at the same time, and it’s one of the best films that I’ve seen this year.
		On the other side of the coin, "State and Main" is also a serious drama which explores the dark depths of man’s soul and the often times bizarre art of filmmaking.
		Yes, the overall experience of watching "State and Main" will be maximized if you know something about how things work in Hollywood, but this knowledge isn’t a prerequisite for enjoying the film.

	State and Main @ Filmbug (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Welcome to David Mamet's State and Main, the acclaimed writer-director's funniest and most accessible film to date, propelled by the rocket fuel of Mamet's show-biz experience and driven by an ensemble cast that simply couldn't be better.
		What I liked about "State and Main" is it's treatment of the small town locals as being as sophisticated, savvy, and in the case ot the young teenage girl, promiscuous as the blindsided big city moviemakers, while never abandoning it's Rockwellian small town charm, or it's big city smarts.
		The obvious star of "State and Main" is Philip Seymour Hoffman a previously little known Hollywood actor whose first appeared on the screen as the spoilt rich Daddy supported George Willis Jr.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: State and Main
		In a present that will be hard to top, STATE AND MAIN, by writer/director David Mamet (THE WINSLOW BOY), is a wonderful gift to moviegoers that comes to theaters this Christmas.
		Possessing some of the same charm of an early Mamet film, the whimsical THINGS CHANGE from 1988, STATE AND MAIN is a screwball comedy and good-spirited satire about filmmaking in small town America.
		STATE AND MAIN is the kind of big-hearted movie that's worth seeing again and again.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: State and Main
		State and Main, written and directed by David Mamet (The Spanish Prisoner, The Winslow Boy, House of Games), follows a Hollywood film crew into the sleepy town of Waterford, Vermont, for the shooting of a would-be blockbuster.
		State and Main also stays light thanks to Mamet’s backing away from his trademark clipped cadence, at least a little bit -- this dialogue is so good it transcends just about anything you could do to it.
		State and Main might have been my #1 film of 2000, but the DVD is nothing special.

	State and Main (2000) - A Review by David Nusair
		State and Main doesn't have much by way of plot, but it does have a group of very talented actors portraying quirky and interesting characters.
		But the problem with State and Main - as well-acted and written as it is - lies in its complete lack of a plot.
		But this is an awfully minor complaint for a film that features such fine actors doing some of their best work (Hoffman, in particular, is especially strong in a lead role).

		Sarah Jessica Parker confesses that during the shoot for "State and Main," in the small town of Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass., she spent most of her down time at the bar -- watching the World Series.
		But baseball rivalries aside, Parker says that she enjoyed her time making "State and Main," a satire on Hollywood in which she shares the screen with Alec Baldwin, William H. Macy, Philip Seymour Hoffman and many others, despite her early intimidation of working with famed playwright-turned-director David Mamet.

	State And Main Movie Review
		State and Main comes to us courtesy of the brilliant screenwriter David Mamet who, when we're really lucky, sometimes moonlights as a director (Spanish Prisoner, The Winslow Boy).
		State and Main is a spectacular ensemble and every performance is alive with texture.
		With State and Main, Mamet has constructed another winner, both in terms of writing (this is easily one of the best written films of the year) and directing.

	MMI Movie Review: State and Main
		Funny and sweet, vicious and redemptive, "State and Main" is a film about a film about second chances.
		"State and Main" is cynical inasmuch as it reminds us that nothing — not even Waterford's kindly old Doc Wilson — is as good as we'd like to believe.
		With "State and Main" the famously jaundiced Mamet has decided to have himself a little fun, and I for one think it would be nice to encourage him.

	State and Main Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Written and directed by David Mamet and starring Alec Baldwin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and William H. Macy, this showbiz satire should have been a wry tweaking of moviemaking on par with The Player or the underrated Living in Oblivion.
		As a result, State and Main wavers jarringly between cynicism and sentimentality, with characters dispensing soggy chestnuts of homespun wisdom (Pidgeon's musings on the nature of truth are about as fresh as week-old rice pudding) as often as they trade sarcastic barbs ("You want me to eat carbohydrates?" screams the weight-conscious Price).
		In State and Main, David Mamet's seventh film, the playwright returns to comedy-on-celluloid for the first time since 1988.

	SPLICEDwire \| "State and Main" review (2000)
		Playwright, filmmaker and satirical dialogue savant David Mamet ruthlessly runs Hollywood through with a poison pen in "State and Main," a wickedly ironical and incisive industry lampoon about a film crew laying siege to a Vermont hamlet where they intend to shoot a pretentious period drama.
		But never one to just kid around, the writer-director also makes a shrewd underlying observation about how eagerly actors, writers and directors compromise themselves to crank out celluloid crap if it might get their hands on that brass ring of boffo box office.
		"State and Main" is the first brilliantly biting showbiz satire of Hollywood's second century, and one of the genre's most droll and original entries.

		He has some 18 screenplays to his credit, and State and Main marks his seventh feature as both writer and director.
		The plot, which seems unoriginal at first look is given a unique life thanks to Mamet, and it seems so carefully crafted as to bypass the inherent feeling that this isn't the first screenplay of its kind.
		'State and Main' brings us a unique world, just a little off center for satire's sake but filled with characters that are more than the sum of their quirks, and the fact that it works is a testament to Mamet's genius.

		It is not surprising that in his seventh film as writer/director, the comedy State and Main (2000), Mamet returns to familiar territory.
		He re-writes the opening scene, changes the title and the main idea of the script, and finally, cuts out the nude scene for Wellesley.
