Genre: Comedy, Teenage, Showbiz, Satire, Culture Clash
Tagline: When a film crew came to Waterford, Vermont - They Shot First And Asked Questions Later.
Plot: Part Hollywood satire, part screwball comedy, State and Main explores what happens when a cell-phone-wielding movie crew invades a quaint New England town. Laced with the tart dialogue characteristic of Mamet, State and Main follows screenwriter Joe White (Hoffman), whose old-fashioned values are put to the test when he is the only witness to a heartthrob movie star's (Baldwin) indiscretions with a local teenage girl (Stiles). The movie's smooth-talking director (Macy) and aggressive producer (Paymer) pressure Joe to put aside his convictions for the sake of the film and his future writing career. Meanwhile, Joe falls for a local bookseller (Pidgeon), who challenges him to stand up for the truth.
