Critic Reviews

Stephen Hunter

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

Roger Ebert

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. Read full review

Jack Mathews

The film's biggest problem is its psychologically false ending. Having created a complex relationship, Anselmo seems to throw up his hands at the end and admit he doesn't have a clue about how to resolve it. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Angel Cohn

Freighted with far more serious issues than most movies of its kind but neglects or glosses over most of them. Read full review

Robert K. Elder

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

Robert Koehler

Partially biographical story of a rich kid's unplanned encounter with the Marines and his even more random romance with a schizophrenic movie starlet is contrived and emotionally incomplete, and strained further by self-consciously cockeyed dialogue. Read full review

Stephen Holden

An unsalvageable mess. Read full review

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.
