Blue State is a Canadian / American romantic comedy film, released in 2007, starring Breckin Meyer and Anna Paquin (who was also the film's executive producer). The film was the first effort of Paquin in an executive role.
John Logue (Breckin Meyer), a dedicated John Kerry campaigner in the 2004 election, actually follows through on a drunken campaign vow to move to Canada if George W. Bush would be re-elected. When Bush indeed wins again, John finds his employer and his friends took his public vow seriously and he can not help but stay true to his word. He meets Chloe Hamon (Anna Paquin), a reader of his blog, who wants to accompany him to Canada. On his way, they visit John's parents who are upset about his liberal views because his father (Richard Blackburn) is an inveterate Republican supporter. Moreover, John's brother is a soldier who fought in the Iraq War. Later, close to the Canadian border, Chloe reveals to John that she is a deserter who was in Iraq as a soldier and is supposed to return there.
Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas.
I don't wanna see my mamma cry.
Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas.
I don't wanna see my mamma cry.
Just last year when I was only seven.
Now I'm almost eight as you can see.
You came home a quarter past eleven.
Fell down underneath our Christmas tree.
Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas.
I don't wanna see my mamma cry.
Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas.
I don't wanna see my mamma cry.
Mamma smiled and looked outside the window.
She told me: 'Son, you better get upstairs.'
But then you laughed and hollered: 'Merry Christmas.'
I turned around and saw my mamma's tears.
Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas.
I don't wanna see my mamma cry.
Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas.
I don't wanna see my mamma cry.
Please daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas.
I don't wanna see my mamma cry.
Please daddy don't get drunk this Christmas.
I don't wanna see my mamma cry.
No, I don't wanna see my mamma cry.
