The Hottest State

Days before his 21st birthday, William (Mark Webber), an actor, meets and quickly falls madly in love with Sara (Catalina Sandino Moreno), a seductive yet elusive singer/songwriter. The film follows William from a Lower East Side tenement to a Mexican hotel room, to a snowbound weekend in Connecticut, to a sweltering homecoming in the hottest state of all - Texas - in the pursuit of Sara. His stubborn and sweetly innocent quest to find someone who loves him as much as he loves her may not lead to happiness, but surely leads to newfound maturity.

    Relationship from a guy's point of view

    Based on Ethan Hawke's brilliant novel, The Hottest State gives a beautiful insight into the experiences of first love from a 20 yr old male perspective. Don't worry, it's not a 'chick flick' or over-the-top mushy. Genuine, honest and confusing like most of our first experiences of love, its not a movie filled with lots of twists and turns and won't have you on the edge of your seat. BUT it's still worth a look.

    Hottest State not so hot

    The Script and screen play must be paramount if any film is worth its salt. This was terrible, I kept looking for the irony but there was none to see. No edge to it what so ever. The dialogue would have sounded crass in any 'made for TV' teen drama.

    I gave up after an hour as I felt embarrassed that I had made such a big mistake in hiring it at all.
