Title: You've seen it all before...
Review: Colin Hanks? I didn't even know that Tom Hanks had a son, much less that he was an actor. In Orange County, Colin does display some of the early comedic mannerisms of his father such as his high pitched banter and facial expressions. Hanks does a decent job as the male lead but the story line is weak. As a film, Orange County is rather bland family entertainment. The only two characters really explored are hanks and his girlfriend. Jack Black, who was heavily touted in ads as having an expanded role is scattered throughout the film at best. Every town has it's own version of Lance, the kid who doesn't work or go to school, parties hard and has no ambition. Some of his lines are funny and he truly carries the film in the scenes he is in. But they are few and far between. Clocking in at just over 82 minutes, Orange County is a journey to be taken only by the cable viewer. Not Recommended.
