Plot

Directed by Reverge Anselmo, Stateside revolves around the unique love story of two very different teens -- namely, the rich but lonely Mark Deloach (Jonathan Tucker) and Dori Lawrence (Rachael Leigh Cook), a schizophrenic singer and actress -- whose lives spiral out of control in separate but nonetheless connective ways. After Mark's prank on a local girl (Agnes Bruckner) results in a deadly drunk-driving accident, and Dori's mental health continues to deteriorate, Mark is forcibly sent to the Marines as Dori is admitted into a mental hospital. Despite the state of havoc in their lives, however, Dori and Mark are drawn to each other -- it would appear that their mutual need for love and some semblance of understanding has bonded them more tightly together than all of their more traditional relationships combined. Of course, those very relationships are insisting the young couple stay as far apart as possible; Mrs. Hagen (Diane Venora), head of Dori's halfway house, is particularly insistent. When Mark is deployed to a combat unit overseas, it looks as though Mrs. Hagen's wishes have been granted. Unable to forget each other, Mark and Dori do their best to heal one another in spite of the distance between them. Stateside features supporting performances from Ed Begley Jr., Carrie Fisher, Val Kilmer, and Joe Mantegna ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

REGIONAL NOTE   Especially since World War II, the adverb stateside has commonly been used by Americans traveling abroad to mean "to, toward, or in the United States." During the postwar period the term gained currency among Alaskans, familiar with the feeling of being far removed from the rest of the continental United States. They adopted stateside into their vocabularies as a way of referring to their fellow Americans to the south. Russell Tabbert of the University of Alaska observes that stateside "has some currency primarily as a noun modifier, but also as an adverbial," as in this instance: "Most of the owners live in Anchorage; some 14% live stateside" (Alaska Magazine). It may or may not be capitalized. Stateside, the lower states, the South, and (the) Outside are all used in Alaska to denote "the 48 contiguous states." All these terms, however, are losing out to the Lower 48, which, as Tabbert points out, is always written in Alaska with a capital L and with Arabic numerals.

The United States of America. In Vietnam it was also referred to as "The World" as in "Back in the world."
