It's not a great movie, but it's just plain hilarious!

Was really excited to see this movie. The creative team of Freaks and Geeks and Jack Black. Sounds great right? Its not. Mike White (who wrote and directed the very original "Chuck and Buck") delivers a lame script. And the the trailer makes it seem that Jack Black is in a large portion of the movie, but he is not. The trailer even shows scenes with Black that aren't in the movie. Don't waste your time. … Expand

Highly entertaining and funny. A feel good movie. Its trailer did no justice to what this movie really had to offer.

This was kool, and funny!

Jack Black ADIDAS (All Day I Dream About Stone).

Somewhat scattershot and lamebrained, but still funny and entertaining. It's also charming and a very good video rental.

This is one of the best movies I saw, quite cool!

Jack Black saved this movie! One of his best roles ever. So many classic quotes, such as "She said, I'm gonna burn this mother down! And I'm like, you better not, you, you better not!,".

Orange County is a movie about a kid trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life. After the passing of one of his friends he abandons his old easy going surfer life style stereo typical of where he is from (orange county) and dedicates his life to writing. His goal was to go to Stanford and escape the dysfunctional home and town he grew up in. The movie starts out kind of stupid, but Jack Black was kind of funny in his same old roll as a fat crazy guy. The main character and his crazy day sort of reminded me of a mix of the catcher in the rye and Ferris Bueller's day off. For some reason I just enjoyed watching the movie and it seemed like a good length, with a good beginning, middle, and end.… Expand

Too bad this was an MTV production. Mike White is the dramatist for godsakes. You just know his screenplay was compromised. But there is a scene in this film where the author of "Chuck & Buck" gets to bite the hand that feeds him by skewering the TRL jetset(who apparently are Stanford material) at a campus dorm party. Since they are the desired demographics, there is no way this movie could truly soar. "Orange County" is a sliver better than your garden variety teen mulch but disappointingly, "Bring it On" had more edge. This Jake Kasdan-directed film is neither freaky or geeky. It's more Britney than Joan.… Expand

It could have been a great movie, but the funniness factor wasn't high. If it wasn't for Jack Black, it would not have been funny at all. The trailer was misleading, and the movie was more of a moive, instead of a comedy. If JB would have been in it more, or they just would have turned up the humor more, it could have been great.

Very funny for anyone under 30, or for those who always felt their talents were being wasted and that remaining in their hometown would slowly kill all hope of a meaningful exsitence. Colin Hanks shows he's a fresh actor worth watching, not just someone coasting on Hollywood nepotism.

I loved Colin Hanks in this movie!! I thought he did a really good job in it!!! :)

Jack Black is the film's saving grace. He is able to deliver some of the most unsubtle lines like "you banged mom?" with such perfect comic timing, that it could hve you rolling over the floor laughing. The film's story about staying true to your roots is never particular interesting and the film's themes are unfortunately delivered with the same lack of subtlety as the humour, leaving a film that feels stale and obvious.… Expand

I thought this movie, although not extremely funny, was entertaining. It is pretty much what I expected, and I agree with all the Jack Black comments.

Sure, the only question left in your mind is "What kind of name is Schuyler Fisk?". Sure, Jack Black and the comedy veterans are the best things about it. Sure, it even seems like you've seen it before. And sure, Colin Hanks is too similar in appearance to his father to stop images from The Money Pit, Turner & Hooch and The Burbs from drifting into your head every time he's on screen again. But there are moments, folks, when the movie it wants to be speaks out from behind the MTV muzzle.… Expand

Orange County is a very well written movie that features very tasteful humor compared to that of most teen movies. The characters are interesting, though somewhat exagerated as most satirical characters ought to be. As far as teen movies go, this is probably the best one to come out for our generation. I am also very shocked that this came from an MTV studio.
