Every once in a while, a movie comes along where the chemistry between the lead actor and actress is so strong that it’s hard to believe that they’re not a couple in real life. That’s certainly the case with Marshall Lewy’s Blue State, premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival. In the romantic political comedy, Breckin Meyer plays John Logue, a left-wing political blogger and John Kerry supporter, who leaves the country in protest of the Bush reelection, while Anna (X-Men) Paquin plays his beautiful and boisterous travel partner who has her own reasons for going to Canada.

Blue State is very much in line with other movies that have played at past Tribeca Film Festivals, including political films like The F Word and the Al Franken doc God Said, as well as road movies like Transamerica and last year’s Snow Cake.

One quickly realizes why it’s rarely a good idea to do a phone interview with two people at once, as Breckin and Anna spent a bit of time catching up before ComingSoon.net jumped in with a few questions about the movie they made together. (And if it feels like there’s any sort of sexual tension in this interview, than it certainly wasn’t coming from us!)
