Stateside (2004)

Cast: Rachael Leigh Cook (Dori Lawrenece), Jonathan Tucker (Mark Deloach), Agnes Bruckner (Sue "of the Dubervilles" Dubois), Val Kilmer (Staff Sergeant Skeer)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Stateside page.

Seeing Stateside in a free preview was cool, since we'd seen no marketing for it at all. I've liked Rachael Leigh Cook in everything I've seen her in, so as soon as I heard her name, I said we were interested (which I almlost always am for a free preview - I love movies). Dori is based on a real actress, which makes things a bit more interesting.

They show a patient with schizophrenia (Dori) fairly accurately, which is a nice change from the crazy & dangerous view normally presented in film. It was nice to see a more realistic portrayal of someone with a mental illness trying to live her life and love.

I definitely recommend renting this if you missed its short theatrical release.

Grade: B
