Critics Consensus: Smarter than the average teen movie, but a little on the unmemorable side.

[Kasdan] and White aim very low here and fail to take advantage of the abundant opportunities for social satire that its upper class and academic settings provide.
The urine-quaffing gags and hearty barfing asides are the lowbrow price extracted for...gestures towards semi-intelligence.
This is mostly weak stuff, with a timid and reactionary final message about how it's better to stay in your home town, rather than go for a big-city college education.
[T]oo many of these gross out scenes...
Strictly a vanity vehicle with a mess of star babies on board.
One of the smartest idiotic teen comedies you'll ever see.
Stupid movie pushes boundaries of PG-13.
It won't stick with you forever, but you will enjoy it while it lasts.
Second-generation Hollywood wrestles with but never truly pins down this big-hearted, broad and often flat comedy...
With minimal gross-out quota, Kasdan's sure-footed approach mixes a teen farce and a morality tale.
If all you're looking for is a mild comedy with four or five solid laughs and a whole bunch of familiar faces, you could do worse.
É claro que os pais famosos do diretor e dos dois protagonistas ajudaram a viabilizar este projeto, mas o fato é que o filme é engraçado e merece aplausos.
Just a fun movie with a giant heart, impossible to not love. The characters are outrageous and believable at the same time, it's really well shot and tells an important story and unique coming of age experience. It manages to cover all the distasteful parts of a family and capitalize on them, which has never quite been done in the same way before or since. Colin Hanks isn't just a wimpy and angsty teen with too many issues, his problems are real and relatable to most. Jack Black probably gives one of his best performances as Lance, he's never been funnier or more lovable. I think that it shows how terrible and happy life can be at the same time.
Super Reviewer
Not the best, but definitely wacky with a turn for Schuyler Fisk. Just ignore Jack Black and you'll enjoy it.
Meh.
When we're around the 18 - 23 range, don't we all want to get out of the county and same old house that we've known all our life? Shaun does. He's real smart and has a strong urge for becoming a writer one day. He wants to go to a certain university that's far away, just to escape Orange County, his drunken mom, wacky brother, etc. But he'll soon find out that getting what you want isn't always easy. "Orange County" manages to be hilarious (the mindless antics of Jack Black are what REALLY makes the movie) and meaningful (I don't know about you, but I know I can sure relate to wanting to get out of the same tainted place I've known all my life) at the same time. Not to mention that the cast (John Lithgow, Catherine O'hara, Jack Black, and some rising stars) is pretty much perfect for the roles that they play in the film. However, the special features, while decent, could've been better. It has a scene selection, four deleted scenes, the theatrical trailer, interstitials, and commentary by the director and writer. That's good enough, but where are the interviews with the cast, the behind the scenes bloopers, and so on? Nonetheless, the bottom line is that "Orange County" is a great movie that will provide you entertainment for years to come if you add it to your collection. For that reason, it's definitely recommended that you add it to your collection ASAP. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2003.
