Orange County

I would deem this one another Jack Black classic. I loved it. Starring in this movie is Colin Hanks, son of Tom Hanks. We also had a ton of other familiar faces including Catherine O'Hara, Mike White, John Lithgow, Lily Tomlin, Chevy Chase, Olivia Rosewood (Almost Famous), Natasha Melnick (Freaks and Geeks-Cindy Sanders), Shawn Soong (Freaks and Geeks-Stroker), Sarah Hagan (Freaks and Geeks-Millie), Leslie Mann, Jane Adams, Harold Ramis (Ghost Busters), Monica Keena (Undeclared), Lizzy Caplan (Mean Girls) and Kevin Kline. The basic story line is Shaun wants to go to Stanford but the high school guidance counselor sends in somebody else's transcript and he gets rejected. A girl at their school has a grandfather on the board so he comes over to meet Shaun but his stoner-loser brother (Jack Black) and his alcoholic mother (Catherine O'Hara) along with his old, crazy step father convince him otherwise. So they then go to crazier and crazier means trying to find somebody to assess this grievous error and get Shaun into the school of his dreams. If you're a Jack Black fan, I'd tout this one as a must see. If you're also just looking for something funny that doesn't cross the line that much (compared to many other movies of this genre) I'd still say it's something good to watch.
