Orange County Reviews

Nowadays, this flick is pretty much forgotten but it is actually a pretty good comedy. The first striking thing about this movie is that it is dominated by some famous offsprings. Indeed, the director Jake Kasdan is the son of Lawrence Kasdan who, among other things, wrote ‘The Empire Strikes Back’, Colin Hanks is Tom Hanks’ son and Schuyler Fisk is Sissy Spacek’s daughter. Concerning Colin Hanks, it is actually the only movie he made in which he really displayed some potential but 10 years later, he is still standing in the shadow of his father. Anyway, I really liked this flick. I mean, of course, the story was nothing really original but the dialogs were really funny and most of the characters were quite hilarious. Indeed, Jack Black has never become a really amazing lead actor because his acting range is just too limited but with such supporting characters, he is the perfect guy and I thought he was really funny in this. To conclude, even though it is nothing really amazing, I thought it was a really fun comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
