Directed by Reverge Anselmo, Stateside revolves around the unique love story of two very different teens -- namely, the rich but lonely Mark Deloach (Jonathan Tucker) and Dori Lawrence (Rachael Leigh Cook), a schizophrenic singer and actress -- whose lives spiral out of control in separate but nonetheless connective ways. After Mark's prank on a local girl (Agnes Bruckner) results in a deadly drunk-driving accident, and Dori's mental health continues to deteriorate, Mark is forcibly sent to the Marines as Dori is admitted into a mental hospital. Despite the state of havoc in their lives, however, Dori and Mark are drawn to each other -- it would appear that their mutual need for love and some semblance of understanding has bonded them more tightly together than all of their more traditional relationships combined. Of course, those very relationships are insisting the young couple stay as far apart as possible; Mrs. Hagen (Diane Venora), head of Dori's halfway house, is particularly insistent. When Mark is deployed to a combat unit overseas, it looks as though Mrs. Hagen's wishes have been granted. Unable to forget each other, Mark and Dori do their best to heal one another in spite of the distance between them. Stateside features supporting performances from Ed Begley Jr., Carrie Fisher, Val Kilmer, and Joe Mantegna ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

JAMES M.

This is a bittersweet movie dealing with some profound and serious issues, which causes it to be painful to watch at times. Some of the dialog was hard to understand and there were some gaping holes in the storyline. Cook and Tucker capably take quirky characters and give them life. Everyone in this movie is flawed, which I guess in reality is the part that rings most true. Stateside is definitely not a typical teenage fluff piece.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Val Kilmer gives a noteworthy supporting performance. The principal actors really make you care about them. Others have commented that the movie "just ended," really the ending was appropriate-more of a start than a finish. As someone who was the same age in the early 80's as the characters, it really felt accurate to me.

Based on a true story worth telling. Well acted and well directed.
