Pros: Won't numb yore mind thankin' of hidden meenings Cons: Not enuff laffs to be a comidy
For some reason (I plead temporary insanity), we decided to go see a Teen movie on the biggest Teen movie night of the week-Friday. For once, I thought, I can be among the first
to review a movie because all of the ads have not included "Opens June...
Pros: Funny, Impressive Cast Cons: Tasteless at times
My fiancé and I watched two movies over the weekend, Shallow Hal and Orange County. Reading good reviews on Shallow Hal, I was expecting to like it better than Orange County. So I was surprised when Orange County ended up being my favorite of the two....
Pros: Jack Black, some of the pointless cameos Cons: unfunny,dull, and rather unmemorable
-INTRO-
---------------------------
There are different forms of comedies that are created but recently most seem to focus on a elementary one track theme of the lowest denominator. Teen comedies are basically one dimensional...
Pros: Not your ordinary teen movie, better than you'd expect from MTV Productions. Cons: Still gets a bit sappy. Jack Black should NOT be on camera in his briefs.
When I heard this movie was coming out, I had to see it for two reasons. First off, I live in Orange County, and I figured that a bunch of OC folks would be in the theater to see the film that bears the namesake of our county.
Pros: Fairly funny, decent extras Cons: only "fairly" funny, only "decent" extras
A story about family, home, and great expectations, Orange County is on par with the majority of teen movies: full of sound and fury (and sex and drugs) and signifying... well, almost nothing. Like the best examples of this late-high school...
Pros: solid comedic performances by Jack Black and John Lithgow Cons: a stiff and unconvincing performance by Colin Hanks
Shaun Brumder (Colin Hanks) wants to get into Stanford University very badly. There's just one problem. Everyone around him is a complete moron, or, to be more accurate, everyone around him can't get out of his way. That's the main issue in...
Pros: Smart, edgy comedy Cons: Ain't as smart and edgy as TV's Undeclared
Don't be frightened of the MTV logo at the beginning of the film. The station known primarily for the intellectually stimulating TRL and other offenses have had a decent run with their production company. Much like their 1999 release Election, this is...
Pros: Brief flashes of what could have been.. Cons: drowned in a sea of gross out jokes and typical plot devices
There is no denying the amount of talent running through the veins of those involved with Orange County, especially the bloodlines of the actors (Tom Hanks’s son, Sissy Spacek’s daughter (Fisk)) and the director (Jake Kasdan, son of Lawrence, of Big...
Pros: Jack Black is all right, John Lithgow is excellent, Lily Tomlin is stellar
Cons: Terrible script, poorly done slapstick
Poor Shaun Brumder (Colin Hanks, Tom Hank's son). His family is insane! His mother (Catherine O'Hara) is a drunk married to geriatric man confined to a wheelchair, his brother (Jack Black) is on probation and always stoned. It seems the only sanity in...
Pros: Wonderful script, great dialogue and fun cameos. The two newcomers are great! Cons: Way too short. Questionable actions of lead character.
Jake Kasdan, Mike White, and Judd Apatow should be related to me in some way. Seriously, ever since i became addicted to the reruns of their brilliantly funny and poignant hour-long show "Freaks And Geeks," i was convinced that everyone involved with...
Pros: Great comedy...Jack Black
New Stars...Colin Hanks Cons: Few small minor glitches
Every now and then, a film will come along that has elements that reach you on a personal level. Personally, I can relate to a story about a kid (Colin Hanks) who desires to be a good writer and pursue his writing career at a major university.
...
Pros: Colin Hanks and the dark aspect of the comedy make it work. Cons: Jack Black is too manic for the rest of the film.
Shaun Brumbder (Colin Hanks) is your normal Orange County teenager. Constantly in search of large waves, partying with his buddies and having a good time, his life changes when one of his buddies dies. Contemplating on the beach, he finds a book called...
ORANGE COUNTY is a teen comedy that along with goofy lowbrow fun offers a surprising amount of wit and heart. Colin Hanks son of Tom Hanks stars as Sh...More at Family Video
