Customer Reviews: The Hottest Movie November 14, 2007 D. J. Baird (Edinburgh, Scotland) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful I predict this gem of a film will become a big indie hit here in the uk. Directed and adapted by Ethan Hawke (from his novel of the same title) it is a touching and humourous take on first love and tells the story of an actor and singer in their early twenties, still hopefull about their future careers and coming to terms with baggage from their childhood and teen years. br /The acting is excellent - Hawke plays the male lead's father, and the scenes in a chilly winter in NYC contrasts beautifully with a trip the young lovers take to Mexico, with Texas, 'The Hottest State' hovering between the two as a haunting lynchpin. br /I read the book after seeing the film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and although the story and some of the dialogue remains, I'd rate the film higher than the book - very rare - for fleshing out the characters and places. The whole story seems better ordered on the screen somehow. I think most people will be able to appriciate the acute -and at times acutely painful observations made here.
