http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2008/01/01/THE-HOTTEST-STATE-Gets-A-Cold-Shoulder.aspx THE HOTTEST STATE is supposedly about the angst of young love.  But the angst most viewers will feel has more to do with the quality of the story.  The movie is self-indulgent, its dialogue insipid and there’s not a fresh thought in the nearly-two-hour movie.  It’s enough to give independent films a bad name. en-US Critics Rant headersrock@yahoo.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2008/01/01/THE-HOTTEST-STATE-Gets-A-Cold-Shoulder.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2008/01/01/THE-HOTTEST-STATE-Gets-A-Cold-Shoulder.aspx#2743 SOUNDS BORING ANYWAY brokun1 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2008/01/01/THE-HOTTEST-STATE-Gets-A-Cold-Shoulder.aspx#2743 Sun, 06 Jan 2008 09:40:33 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2008/01/01/THE-HOTTEST-STATE-Gets-A-Cold-Shoulder.aspx#2931 i didn't like it at all WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2008/01/01/THE-HOTTEST-STATE-Gets-A-Cold-Shoulder.aspx#2931 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 16:03:20 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2008/01/01/THE-HOTTEST-STATE-Gets-A-Cold-Shoulder.aspx#2932 uh, i knew i was going to break up with the guy i was dating when he told me this movie was going to be great and it sucked.
