State And Main

Watched a great film last night called State And Main. It was written and directed by David Mamet, probably most famous for writing The Untouchables and Hoffa.
It's a comedy set in a small New England town of Waterford, Vermont. A Holywood film set descends upon the localé and takes over for the duration of filming including the main hotel where a lot of the film takes place as the director and producer argue over the filming and each other including the writer of the original screenplay. It has excellent performances by William H Macy and Philip Seamour Hoffman. The most important aspect to the success of the film is its attention to detail and background humour. There are running gags throughout the film and fantastic one liners.
So if you see this on the shelf at your video store, grab it and enjoy a rib-tickling night in.
