Screen Gem: State and Main (2000)PREMISE In writer-director David Mamet's film-industry satire, everything goes wrong when Hollywood big shots invade a Vermont hamlet for a film shoot. Leading man Bob Barrenger (Baldwin) attempts to suppress his yen for young girls, until he meets underage local Carla (Julia Stiles).
FUN FACT Bob's explanation of his reckless extracurricular pursuit of minors: ''Everybody needs a hobby.''
