Orange County (2002)

Cast: Colin Hanks (Shaun Brumder), Jack Black (Lance Brumder), Schuyler Fisk (Ashley)

I probably wouldn't have seen this in a theater if I hadn't gotten to see a free preview. I think free previews are great, since you get to see movies before they're released to the public, but doing that can definitely back fire. Since I tend to enjoy Jack Black movies, I was really looking forward to Orange County. Besides, I live in Orange County now, so I thought that'd be cool, too!

The opening credits already had me wishing I hadn't bothered. They almost made me sick. Too many weird camera angles and sweeping movements. I don't know if that will be changed in the official movie release, but even if it does, I'd still suggest waiting till Orange County makes it to HBO, which shouldn't be long.

In spite of a very good cast, this movie really didn't have much interesting. The story about a high school student who accidentally gets turned down for Stanford because of a guidance counselor's error is a hilarious concept. I don't know about you, but the guidance counselors we had in high school were pathetic. I'm not sure where they went wrong, but Orange County just didn't appeal to me at all.

There are definitely some funny parts, but on the whole I'd say that I can't imagine anyone not having something better to do with their time than watch this.

Grade: C
