Underrated

Well it looks like another typical teen movie but actually its not. Under the regular teeny style story there is some deep messages about friendship, love, appreciation, and never giving up on dreams. The characters are well drawn and the cast is very well selected. The colors are great and the general atmospher is joyfull. The events are pacey in a good way so don't worry as you wont get bored at all.

What make this movie great is that for example we oftenly hear things like ''Life is worthless if you're not going to do what you like'' but the movie make you live the experience and actually give these words a real thought and find out yourself if they are actually true or not. Its much better if you watch this one with friends or family. I recommend this for young people and trust me whatever your taste is you will like it.

I had low expectations and was surprised

I feel that I should explain 2 things before I give my opinion of this movie 1) I don't expect much from a MTV production and 2) I went to see this movie just to see Colin Hanks, because of his role as Alex Whitman in Roswell.

I was surprised and impressed with Colin Hanks, and Schuyler Fisk who I had not seen in anything. Both of whom played characters that actually had some depth. They actually wanted to go to college not just get laid or marry someone rich.

I found the movie light and funny, full of great cameos

If you are expecting to see a lot of Jack Black you may be disappointed. He only has a supporting role. But hilariously funny as usual.

I also wish that they had kept Colin's hair off of his face, like in some of the beach scenes. The whole bangs thing just, just. I just didn't like it.

Worth the rental fee for the cameos, Jack Black, some off color jokes and some of the lines the supporting actors have.

DVD has some great deleted scenes and explains why some of the ads showed things that were not in the movie.

Warm and funny, but also loose and fragmented

Orange County has charm, but lacks development. Colin Hanks and Jack Black do well in their respective roles, pretty much straightlaced Hanks reacting in shock to his brother Black's drug-induced pandemonium. Hanks loves his brother who tries his best to help him out, as high as he is. This caring carries the story, and pretty much makes us forgive many of the plot holes and missed backgrounding and other types of story lacks. The actors make Orange County warm and funny and likable, and they all have a believable chemistry too. In lesser hands Orange County wouldve been underwhelming because of how fragmented important parts of the story are, but the cast saves it. Nevertheless Orange County has memorable moments and a good soundtrack (being an MTV production) and a genuine depth in terms of what emotions the actors manage to get across rather than what they actually get to say or do. Decent!

Dude!

I came home from a hard day of work, and to tell the truth, I needed a melt down. That's maybe the only reason why I enjoyed this movie. Because I seriously had my doubts renting it, but I think that Jack Black is a very funny actor. All I needed was a good laugh and I got it. True, this is one of those "Dude, where's my brain?" movies. Sometimes you just need those though. The people I work with told me that this was a pretty stupid movie, and it is. But I think people shouldn't be in a serious mood for this movie. For an intelligent comedy or a good movie kind of day, no. This is not the movie for you, but if you need a meltdown after a hard day, then by all means give this movie a chance. It's really not that bad, and you get more than a few laughs. But still, if I were Colin Hank's character, I think I still would've wanted to go to Standford. :D 7/10

Is this the most underrated comedy of the 2000s?

An endlessly funny, fully realized universe that subverts its subjects and setting, all while clearly loving them. Almost like they were making a satire of turn-of-the-century teen life without denying its power ("Butterfly"). It has surprisingly strong things to say about idolizing your dreams, under appreciating what you have, and realizing the love you have for the family and friends who drive you crazy. An underappreciated and ahead-of-its-time teen comedy.

Anecdotes
Before Lance (Jack Black) jumps into the pool to save Shaun (Colin Hanks), he takes off his socks. This was not in the script, but was an idea of Jack Black's wardrobe assistant. Black found the idea hilarious, and the gag remained in the film.

Gaffes
Although the film is supposed to take place in Orange County, none of it was shot there. All locations are in Los Angeles County.

Crédits fous
During the opening credits both the font of the credits and the way they are displayed are similar to that of the output of a typewriter.
