Lone Star State of Mind is a 2002 comedy film directed by David Semel and written by Trevor Munson. The film tells the story of two brothers, Earl (Joshua Jackson) and Baby (Matthew Davis), who find themselves in a series of misadventures when they try to leave their small Texas town for California, but end up stuck in a series of comical situations.

Earl is a handsome, charming criminal who is looking to start a new life with his girlfriend, Baby. Baby is a former stripper who is trying to put her past behind her and start fresh with Earl. The two of them decide to rob the local diner where Baby used to work, but things quickly spiral out of control when the heist goes wrong and they end up on the run from a group of angry locals.

Along the way, Earl and Baby run into a series of colorful characters, including a corrupt cop named Alton (John Mellencamp), a drug lord with a pet alligator named Junior (Ryan Hurst), and a sultry bartender named Tinker (Jaime King), who becomes the object of both Earl and Baby's affections.

As the brothers try to make their way out of Texas, they are forced to deal with a series of obstacles, from crooked cops to rival gangs, all while trying to stay one step ahead of the law. Along the way, Earl and Baby must confront their pasts and decide whether they truly want to leave their old lives behind for good.

The film is filled with quirky characters, witty one-liners, and plenty of action, making it a fun and entertaining ride from start to finish. The chemistry between the three leads, Joshua Jackson, Jaime King, and Matthew Davis, is electric, and they each bring a unique energy and humor to their roles.

One of the standout performances in the film is John Mellencamp's portrayal of Alton, the corrupt cop who is hot on Earl and Baby's trail. Mellencamp brings a gritty intensity to the role, and his scenes with Jackson are some of the film's most memorable.

The film's setting, a small Texas town, is also an important character in its own right. The film captures the dusty, sun-baked atmosphere of Texas perfectly, from the rundown diners to the seedy bars, and the small-town residents who are fiercely protective of their own.

Overall, Lone Star State of Mind is a fun and entertaining film that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats with its wit, humor, and action-packed storyline. With a talented cast and a well-written script, it's easy to see why this film has become a cult classic over the years.

Lone Star State of Mind is a 2002 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 28 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.0.
