Good film, tedious story, shows us nothing new.

"Sunshine State" peers into the lives of a clutter of characters who occupy a small Florida beach town at risk of a hostile takeover by land developers examining the local's reflections, ponderings, musings, and interactions in the onslaught of imminent change. "Sunshine State" is technically and artistically excellent, imbued with a strong sense of local flavor, and hangs firmly onto that which is safe while failing to show us anything new. One can only wonder how dull must be one's life to find the lives of such boring people interesting. A tedious watch at over 2 hours and a bland PG-13 fare, "Sunshine State" will be most appreciated to more mature audiences who can better identify with the experiences of the characters and who are more inclined to be philosophical.

Nice view of a slice of life of some people

SUNSHINE STATE kinda intrigued me because it's set in Florida and also because it's a movie that focuses on various characters instead of just one, and I admired it for being different.

In the town of Delrona Beach in Florida there is preparation for its annual festival but one of the floats is burned by an orphan that is in care of his old aunt Eunice. Soon Eunice is visited by her daughter Desiree Stokes (Angela Bassett) that has returned to make amends with her mother and introduce her new husband, and in town she becomes reacquainted with her former classmate Flash, who was a football player and now works in the development industry. Marly Temple (Edie Falco) runs a cafè owned by her parents who has to deal with her former husband Steve, her boyfriend golf player Scotty and then she gets involved with Jack Meadows (Timothy Hutton), a landscape architect involved in the property developments.

I explained the plot in the best way possible because it's best you just see the movie for yourselves. The performances (especially Hutton and Bassett's) were good and the film has a nice feel good nature that while it lasts more than two hours, time seems to flow. Loved also the shootings of Florida, they looked like straight from a documentary.

A forgotten and unique movie that you shouldn't miss if you have a chance. Perfect especially for a summer day when there is too hot for staying out (I saw it in mid-July).
