Tribeca - Blue State
A rather mediocre romantic comedy about a guy who leaves for Canada in 2004 after Bush wins the election and a girl who is running away from something that goes with him. As far as the comedy part goes, the movie is on the lightweight side. Not a whole lot of laughs. And as far as the romantic part goes, the main character is such a purposeless, indecisive character that I was rooting for Anna Paquin to end up with someone else. She does a great job in the movie (yeah Rogue!) and is probably the best part of it.
Breckin Meyer doesn’t do a bad acting job as the lead, its just that the part sucks. The movie has potential and at moments it does shine. But in the end, the lack of a strong main character sinks it. Three out of five because it was very watchable, just not very interesting and certainly not memorable. There are better romantic comedies out there and better political movies out there as well. This film doesn’t really seem to find its niche.
