| 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 Shaun, a carefree California surfer dude who loses a
friend to a tsunami. Shaun is contemplating his life when he finds a
brilliant novel buried in the sand. He reads it and decides to become a
writer himself, and study with the author, who teaches at Stanford. He's
eager to leave Orange County, where he lives with his clingy alcoholic
mother (Catherine O'Hara) and his burnout brother Lance (a brilliantly
debauched Jack Black). When Shaun's guidance counselor (Lily Tomlin) sends
the wrong transcript to Stanford, Shaun needs all the help he can get from
his seemingly hopeless family to salvage his dream. ORANGE COUNTY was
directed by Jake Kasdan (Lawrence Kasdan's son) and written by Mike White
(CHUCK & BUCK) who also plays Shaun's illiterate English teacher.
Schuyler Fisk (Sissy Spacek's daughter) plays Ashley, Shaun's
animal-loving girlfriend, and she and Hanks make an attractive and
sympathetic pair. While all kinds of insanity (including hilarious turns
by Black, O'Hara, and Harold Ramis) spins around them, the young and
dynamic couple remain the soulful center of the film.
"...Hanks and Fisk are charming....[The cast] keeps the fun at full tilt. It's the new year's first happy surprise..." "...Hanks is an agreeably appealing leading man....Catherine O'Hara is in terrific comic form..." "...Offbeat....ORANGE COUNTY is peachy..." "...Hanks is an amiable hero....Hanks carries his lead role with confident ease....Fisk is appealing..." Theatrical Release: JANUARY 11, 2002 "...[The film has] plenty of laughs....[It's] tailor-made for Black..." "...O'Hara and Black could give courses on comic expressiveness and timing..." "...Kasdan clearly has a deep and highly contagious affection for his characters..." |
