An above average comedy, saved mainly by the team of the believable Colin Hanks and Jack Black at his least annoying. Some very funny scenes, and the movie plays to the common fears of growing up and figuring out one's future. |

Orange County is a simple story of young man who tries and tries to get to a certain college where his favorite writer (and hero) teaches at.
It has a good story, simple, but good. Its got some very Jack Black-humor in it as well. It's a funny movie, with some good characters. Not great, but good. |

Shaun is so infatuated with the book that he decides that he would like to become a writer, so he spends all of his time writing.
When the guidance counselor makes a mistake and sends his application in with the wrong transcript (one of a stoner that applied to Stanford as a joke) and obviously fails to get accepted (and the stoner gets in).
