Orange county is and was a classic teen movie that in, its hey-day, lived up to it's reputation. When you get to it this movie is a stinker! The characters are entirely based on bad cliches and that do nothing for the thematic impact of the plot. The movie is directed at a younger audience, but portrays unrealistic light and at times uses low-brow humor to convey a lighter tone. Not to say that low-brow humor is without redeeming qualities, it's that the mood of the movie goes back and forth and leaves the viewer hanging. All over the movie tries to cling to it's upbeat motif while attempting to address serious topics that are really never resolved.
