Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
While it invites charges of Hollywood nepotism, Orange County overcomes that stigma with a delightful cast of newcomers and veterans alike. It's no better or worse than many teen comedies, but director Jake Kasdan (son of director Lawrence Kasdan) astutely combines teen-flick staples (stoner gags, raucous parties) with a biting undercurrent of southern California absurdity. This comedic texture helps Colin Hanks (son of Tom) and Schuyler Fisk (daughter of Sissy Spacek) to prove their big-screen promise. They play (respectively) an Orange County teen and aspiring writer named Shaun who yearns for admission to Stanford, and his sensible girlfriend who knows just how to nurture his dreams. Much of the comedy arises from the foibles of Shaun's dysfunctional family (played to perfection by Jack Black, Catherine O'Hara, and John Lithgow), while unbilled cameos by Ben Stiller and Kevin Kline add zest to a movie that tries to be different, and mostly succeeds. --Jeff Shannon

Besides, I'm the last one to talk, since I am in Bakersfield). In some ways it is like Finding Forrester, but not nearly as good. It is a light comedy with Shaun ... Read More

Orange county offers Everything you could ask for in a genuine comedy. The characters where well developed throughout the movie. Jack Black is comedy at its finest.

Rating:  - Rotten Orange!
I actually thought this movie was good so I bought it for $10. I watched it one night a few months later and I was bored watching it. The plot is about a kid named Sean (Colin Hanks) who needs to get some big mess straightened out about his transcript. He goes along with girlfriend Ashley and his brother (Jack Black) to get the mess straightened out so he can get into to Stanford. It just got boring the whole time when they all were in hot pursuit of the transcript for ... Read More
