Movie Review

Orange County

Orange County is an amusing, sometimes witty, but often uneven comedy about the horrors of familial dysfunction. It is also an example of the benefits of Hollywood nepotism, with the talented twentysomething offspring of the current Hollywood dominion in many of the key roles. The role of Shaun Brumder, a high-school senior trying to get into Stanford so he can study under a writer/profess ... ...
