Lone Star State of Mind [DVD]
Description
Joshua Jackson (The Skulls, TV’s “Dawson’s Creek”) and
Jaime King (Pearl Harbor) star in a hysterically rowdy look at small-town life
and big-time trouble… deep in the heart of Texas. Also starringDJ Qualls
(The New Guy, Road Trip), Matthew Davis (Blue Crush), Ryan Hurst (We Were
Soldiers, Remember the Titans) and recording artist John Mellencamp (Falling
From Grace). With a couple grand in the bank and a dream in their hearts, Earl
Crest (Jackson) and his girlfriend Baby (King) plan their escape to Los
Angeles from their hometown of Bennett, Texas. But a dim-witted cousin
(Qualls), an ex-con and an angry drug lord threaten to derail their plans.
Now, with just 48 hours to straighten things out, Earl finds himself in the
middle of a mess – bigger than the entire state of Texas! 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
