Save your money for something good and enjoyable

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Recap: Earl is a good man, but there are some peculiar circumstances. For instance he is dating his stepsister Baby (but hey, they began dating long before their parents did so...), and they're very happy. However, Junior, Baby's cousin, comes with her, and Baby has charged Earl with looking after Junior. Which is not easily done, as Junior has a talent to get himself into trouble. Now he's outdone himself, as he stole a bag full of drugs and money. At the same time Baby and Earl has decide to move, so suddenly Earl must solve everything, by Tuesday!Comments: This is a real fun movie. Not hilarious no, but there is no slow moments anywhere. Between Earl, Baby and Junior there is always some new twist, some new development around the corner. For us viewers, that means something to watch and keep track of every moment.And yes, every twist and turns brings something new, something fun. But it goes to hilarious. It is a very good movie, but for all new developments, it never goes to great. Some plot turns are all to obvious, including the ending, and the jokes are a lot of the same.But still I enjoyed it very much. Well worth watching! 7/10

This is the worst movie Joshua Jackson has ever been associated with. The budget must have been donated by the local Dairy Queen. Acting was really bad. Josh needs to stick to his normal accent. He did not even get close to pulling off Texas slang.I found myself laughing at the movie, not because of it. The title suggests a Lone Star State of Mind???? The characters besides wearing a cowboy hat did not represent Texas or the Texan state of mind on any level. The only thing good about this movie was Jaime King.The script was pointless and the acting stunk; don't waste your time with this loser.

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 watched this in the early hours of the morning and it was hilarious. I wanted to see this movie because I really like Joshua Jackson and I had seen a trailer online that was amusing. From the very beginning, I was laughing uncontrollably. Everyone is the cast is funny, especially Ryan Hurst and DJ Squalls as Tinker and Junior. It's a small film that many people probably haven't heard about but I really enjoyed it. Definitely can be watched again and still be really funny.
