About Blue State
Vowing to move to Canada if John Kerry loses the 2004 election, fervent liberal John Logue (Breckin Meyer) suddenly finds himself with no job, no girlfriend ... and no country! Making good on his "campaign promise," Logue finds a traveling companion--a sexy, mysterious woman named Chloe (Anna Paquin)--and heads north. But Chloe is not all that she seems and their journey takes more twists and turns than either could have imagined in this romantic comedy that's as poignant as it is "disarmingly fun."
Martin Kelley, CinemATL
And whatever you pay at the door is going to a good cause-- the Netroots Nation convention in Austin. Conventions are expensive, but this one still makes it a priority to see that even those without means can attend.
So, if you want to have some fun June 8, RSVP now!
