Writer-director John Sayles weaves together the beauty, grime, and history of Florida in Sunshine State. The rumbling approach of real estate developers on a sleepy island sets the leisurely paced plot in motion. Sayles takes his time introducing his characters, gradually revealing how their lives intertwine, and, as always, teases magnificent performances out of his actors. Edie Falco is quietly brilliant as Marly, running an old-guard motel as progress marches on, and regarding the men in her life with a wry practicality. Mary Steenburgen gifts a small role with marvelous, spoiled humanity in a deft comic turn, and Angela Bassett slowly unfurls her character's depth with the elegance of a true pro. Sunshine State is a simple story, but never clichéd, possessing a glow worth basking in. --Ali Davis

For those who grew up in Florida and experienced the explotation of developers and the grass-roots fight to save its native beauty, you will love this story and the players who tell it. It is a historical fiction that will delight you and confirm your own story. A must view for floridians.

We loved this movie, and have bought many copies to give to FL friends and relatives. Scenes of FL as it used to be, as well as scenes from FL as it is now. Great fun!

My boyfriend, a huge John Sayles fan, introduced me to this movie when it was still on the big screen, and I loved it! I am not sure what I like best between the wonderful actors, many little play lines, or the quotes that we now share after watching this movie, but it is a treasure that we pull out every couple months or so. Now that our VCR has finally died we are replacing the VHS copy with a DVD. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Here's a movie that you hate to give an average rating to but it can't be helped. "Sunshine State" has a lot of great characters with a lot of great promise. That's the good, as well as, the bad part for this picture.
The cast delivers an A-list performance and you're quickly drawn into the story centered around an old beach community. There's plots that branch off from the main theme dealing with homecomings, an old community scandal, issues concerning today's crumbling families, hanging ... Read More

sayles is one of the most talented underrated filmmakers of our day. it seems to me a film like this should have at least made a hit with the indie-hipster crowd, but i guess the wry humor may be lost on the other 49 states, myself being a third generation floridian. if you plan on visiting florida, you really oughta watch this movie first. you'll appreciate the place better afterwards. the movie is shot entirely on location, a number of places i've been numerous times. he really nailed every beat in this ...
