Making good on his "campaign promise" Logue finds a traveling companion--a sexy mysterious woman named Chloe (Anna Paquin)--and heads north. But Chloe is not all that she seems and their journey takes more twists and turns than either could have imagined in this romantic comedy that's as poignant as it is "disarmingly fun" (Martin Kelley CinemATL).System Requirements:Running Time: 99 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/ROMANTIC COMEDY Rating: R UPC: 883904100782 Manufacturer No: M110078

Blue State looks at just how far one young man will go to prove his point that the wrong candidate won the 2004 presidential elections. When John Kerry loses to George W. Bush, one of Kerry's campaign workers makes good on his promise to move to Canada if Bush is elected president. The disgruntled volunteer John (Breckin Meyer, Clueless) is a borderline slacker who most likely would've been too lazy to move anywhere if his friends didn't remind him about his promise. Then, too, there's the invitation from a Canadian dating service that promises him a bevy of women to date if he heads north. Heading to a different country is daunting (and can be expensive), so John finds someone willing to share the expenses of driving from California to Canada. Chloe (played by Anna Paquin, The Piano) is a lovely and somewhat mysterious young woman who challenges John's opinions and makes him think about why he believes what he believes. They bicker in the way that people do when they are attracted to each other. Chloe also has a few secrets of her own, some of which she hides behind ambivalence and a tiny bit of fear. Paquin, who also served as one of the film's executive producers, is particularly convincing in her role: Smart, sweet and cynical, she complements Meyer's endearing acting style. The filmmakers make no apologies for their political leanings; though this romantic comedy would like viewers to think about what is happening in U.S. politics, it doesn't bludgeon the point too often. Where the film falters occasionally is in the hefty dialogue between Chloe and John. Do people really talk like that? And if they do, shouldn't they stop for their own sake? --Jae-Ha Kim

Remember back in 2004 when half the country was rooting for Kerry, and we all know what happened afterwards. There were some of us who supported Kerry, campaigned for him, donated funds, etc., and who had also sworn to move to Canada if Bush were reelected again. Imagine following that one person who actually did move to Canada, and then you'll have Blue State. had great plot, the acting was great and characters were believable. Simply put, if you voted for Kerry in 2004 (which were 59 millions ... Read More

It sounded like a fun idea reading the back of the box, but...
1. Why did John need to find a buddy to make the trip in the first place? Especially given the fact that he was headed for a place called "Marry a Canadian." It doesn't make sense to bring along some chick that you sort of want to hook up with if you plan on marrying a Canadian. Grow some balls and make the trip on your own.
2. Why did he even go to his parents' house when they (mainly his dad) are obviously completely ... Read More

I am not exactly sure when it was decided that blue was for Democrats and red was for Republicans, but that sure is codified in the political consciousness of all Americans by this time in the history of the known universe. I think that once upon a time they used to switch back and forth on which party was which color from one presidential election to the next, but that might be just wishful retroactive thinking on my part. Of course, now we have potentially purple states that could be switching from one ... Read More
