Summary: Is this movie supposed to be funny?
Review: I watched this movie one night, thinking it would be funny after seeing the gazillion trailers they showed on TV. I got a copy of it from my friend, watched it and fell asleep. I know the latter wasn't supposed to happen seeing that this is a comedy and a film with Jack Black in it. What's going on with that? Huh? Any takers? Maybe it was the fact that I was watching it on my computer, and the picture quality wasn't all that great. Oh well, I'll rent it and maybe I will laugh. Until then, Buh Bye

Summary: surprisingly expansive teen movie
Review: Orange County High school senior Colin Hanks yearns for the intellectual and social freedom of Berkeley, but a switched record means he didn't get admitted, so he and his slacker brother take a road trip to convince the Dean of Admissions that he should be admitted after all. He finds Berkeley as full of snobs, airheads, and wannabes as Orange County, and decides that there's noplace like home. Along the way, his parents reconcile, his brain-dead stepfather recovers, and his two slack-jawed surfer buds fall in love. Expansive, sweet, almost heartwarming.

Summary: Jack Black Rules The big Screen
Review: This Movie was suprisingly good. I went to see it for laughter, but got alot more. Acting was decent, but not good, but there was a plot invloved in the movie, and while it had some off the wall antics, it was nothing like the teen comedies of today (scary movie, american pie 1/2, Not anthother Teen Movie, ETC) Jack Black Played a Hilarious Role in this film as the slacker/stoner brother,who always messes things up. The other charaters were funny too, but Jack Black (Lead Singer of Tenacious D) Won my Vote for funniest person in a comedy, this Year.

Summary: 5 star movie with a lot of heart and comedy
Review: This is one of my favorite movies of the year and no one is more surprised than me. I went in thinking this would be some teen comedy that would have a few laughs, a movie that I would forget as soon as I got out of the theater -- WAS I WRONG!!!!!This movie is full of heart and great performances. Colin Hanks is amazing, allowing you to really feel for this character. This honestly would be an oscar performance if it was in a different genre. The situation is hilarious, the music is great, the supporting cast is amazing. Teen movies don't get any better than this. Roger Ebert agrees, as does Rolling Stone, even Mr. Knowles, the internet critic. Don't be fooled into thinking this is your ordinary movie, this is a movie for all ages -- those who enjoy great acting and a movie with a lot of heart. A MUST SEE MOVIE and one of the best movies of the year.

Summary: "Orange County" a Fantastic Film That Transcends Its Genre
Review: The thoughts I had going into "Orange County" were most likely the same thoughts many people might have about this film: I went into the theater thinking that it had the intense possibility to be just another stupid teen film that is made primarily to showcase a pop soundtrack available at stores near you and to showcase Jack Black being loud and running around (Certainly, the television spots for this film don't do much to discourage this notion). So I had large doubts about the quality of "Orange County." Luckily, my doubts were ill-founded. "Orange County" is a fantastic film that manages to play its cards just right and come out the winner. The film stars Colin Hanks (son of Tom Hanks who, from the looks of this film, has leading-man status written all over him) as a high schooler who desparately wants to become a writer and, furthermore, study at Stanford University in California. Through a mishap his high school transcripts are sent under the wrong name and he is not accepted to the school. The rest of the film is a manic and laugh-out-loud attempt to try and get himself into Stanford. It should be stated that, yes, this is a teen movie, but it's a smart teen movie with a razor sharp script (from Mike White who made the fantastic "Chuck & Buck" and has a very sharp eye for playful and humorous dialogue; he also has a hilarious cameo in the movie as an idiotic English teacher). Yes, the movie also has a pop soundtrack, but the music is smartly picked and used and, thus, enhances the story taking place. And yes, Jack Black is loud and runs around a lot, but his character is not nearly as influential on the story as the horrible TV Spots have led you to believe, and his supporting character does make for a very hysterical distraction from the main plot (In addition to a funny Jack Black, the film is also chock full of celebrity cameos that are all humorous to various degrees, most notably John Lithgow and Harold Ramis). All in all, "Orange County" is a funny comedy in the veign of films like "There's Something About Mary." It's a crowd-pleasing film, but it's a smart and genuinely humorous crowd-pleasing film. It may not be for all tastes, but if you're looking for a laugh, you should give "Orange County" a try.

Summary: Funny movie, four stars!
Review: I thought Orange County was a very funny movie and it deserves four stars. It was about a high school geek called Sean who had a dream of going to Stanford College and becoming a writer. His results got switched with another kid and he didn't get in. He got interviewed at his house, but unfortunately he has a family that is a little weird. His dad is a rich millionaire. He divorced Sean's mum and married someone else, and doesn't live with them anymore, so he's not a problem, but Sean's mum is an alcoholic, and his brother Lance walks around in his underwear all day. The interview goes pathetically, and he doesn't get in, so Sean, his brother Lance, and his girlfriend all leave Orange County to show his results to the guy that lets them in, and then it all goes wrong again.

Summary: people think too much
Review: OK, i can understand why some people might not think that this movie is that funny, it is very much, "dumber and dumber" comedy. However, to these people, i say to get a sence of humor. This was one of the funniest movies that i have seen in long time. I can't remember the last time that the entire movie was busting out in laughter at every single joke. I can't say it is a great date movie, but if your going with a bunch of friends, get ready for your stomach to hurt from all the laughter. If you are a big fan of anything with jim carrey(his early stuff), adam sandler, chriss farely, david spade, or even to a lesser extend, pauly shore, then i would fully recomend this movie. To anyone who goes to see it, and doesn't think it is hilarious, well, i recomend that you take a trip back to the movie theater and see it agian. Because you must have been in a bad mood when u saw this movie the first time. Peace out
