Earl Crest (Joshua Jackson) and his girlfriend Baby (James King) plan on taking the money they've saved and escaping from their little town of Bennett, Texas to Los Angeles. But just as they're about to break away, Earl's dimwitted cousin (DJ Qualls), an ex-con, and a money-hungry drug lord threaten to stand in the way of their dream. Bullets begin to fly, and soon Earl and Baby are on the run! LONE STAR STATE OF MIND is an offbeat independent comedy with a distinctively down-home bent.

If you're hoping for intelligent humour and subtle plot lines then head elsewhere. For light entertainment and enjoyable performances from half a dozen actors that don't populate the blockbusters then give this a try.
Joshua Jackson manages to translate his charm from his Dawson Creek character into a genuine lead role fairly well, while Jamie King is convincing in her role.
Not a classic but a good way to spend an hour and a half.
Although this film wouldn't win any awards for originality, it does raise quite a few laughs, and manges to be a fairly diverting 90 minutes. Worth a look.
