    So unexpected and unpredictable and so full of tiny grace notes that its ultimate collapse seems almost irrelevant.

    The performances are strong, although undermined a little by Anselmo's peculiar style of dialogue, which sometimes sounds more like experimental poetry or song lyrics than like speech.

    Anselmo, basing his script on a true story, juggles more plots than a full season of "The O.C.," setting his cast adrift in a sea of soap-opera bubbles.

    Ultimately, Stateside ends up a diluted, scattered drama--less than the sum of its parts, but with an impressive cameo list.

    I loved this movie. I thought that Jonathan Tucker was fantastic as the young marine. Extremely real. I can't believe all the professional reviewers who disliked it.… Expand
