Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Orange County
In this comedy a smart teenager, who wants to be a writer, applies to Stanford. The secretary sends in the wrong transcript, so he isn't accepted. He becomes really upset that he didn't get in and that he still has problems with his family. His parents are split up, his mother is a drunk, and his brother is a lazy stoner. He then heads off to Stanford with his girlfriend and brother to try to persuade them to let him in.
--Jack Bauer, Resident Scholar
