Orange County (2002) is a pretty good movie.

[Catman]

I kinda ignored this movie when it was released, but saw it today, and it's...pretty good. I'm surprised it doesn't have more of a following.

I watched in theatres, simply because I am a big Jack Black fan. Liked the movie. But I continue to be disturbed by how much Colin Hanks looks like his father. He even has his little acting ticks. It is really messed up! I am pretty sure he is cloned.

I too saw this in theaters, I've always thought it was pretty good. Pretty good acting all around.

Roger Ebert described it pretty well. It follows the teen formula, but with an Indie film spirit. I think that's what stood out to me. It does FEEL like an Indie flick, but it's very much a teen movie and is produced by MTV.

The two things I remember about this movie:

1. Ben Stiller's cameo as the firefighter.

2. This:

I like the line John Lithgow says "You want to be a writer? you're not gay"

 

[redhawk23]

i can't believe that this movie was from that long ago already, I mean not that it was super notable but thats the point, I don't remember it being from 8-9 years back.

You'll truely realize how old this movie is when they play Butterfly by Crazy Town. The moment I heard that I was like, "daaammmnnn. That takes me back."

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

damn, this movie came out when i was a junior in high school almost 10 years ago!

i feel old

 

[Catman]

Did you also want to become a writer?

 

[Wolfwood]

I think it's one of Jack Black's best movies.

 

[Hush]

This is a ****ing classic, IMO, It needs a damn Blu-ray release. It's so damn funny and its prolly one of Blacks best, man ahs he gone down hill as far as product out put.

 

[Hush]

Double.

 

[Catman]

It's amusing that Jack Black and Colin Hanks would reunite for King Kong.

 

[Max J Power]

I love that movie. My favorite parts are with Mike White as the illiterate English teacher. The DVD features have a bunch of commercials for the movie; most of which involve Shaun in class. They're as good as parts of the movie.

 

[Hush]

Chevy Chase was the English teacher I thought?

 

[marvelman2006]

I really liked this movie when it came out, jack blacks best comedy if you ask me. I also dont know why colin hasnt had a bigger career by now, youd think if you were tom hanks son that it would open some big doors for you.

the only note worthy movies since orange county are:

untraceable
king kong
house bunny(shivers in fear)

 

[Max J Power]

Chevy Chase was the English teacher I thought?

He was the principal.

 

[Catman]

Chevy Chase was just a one-scene cameo. And, yeah, I also loved Mike White's small role. He has such a goofy face. This movie is filled with cameos. Chevy Chase, Ben Stiller, Kevin Kline, Monica Keena, Lizzy Caplan...I'm sure I'm forgetting someone.

 

[Maximus One]

Jack Black's best role besides The Pick of Destiny.

 

[Jokers_Wild]

Yeah, this film is great! It has a lot of funny stuff in it!

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Damn, haven't seen this flick in years. Keep meaning to pick it up when I buy films.

It has been on TV lately.
