King of California
"King of California" is a quirky father/daughter comedy about a teenage girl who must be the grown-up to her eccentric, unstable father. Their roles change when he manages to convince her that Spanish gold is buried under the Wal-Mart next to the Simi Valley development where they live.
If you're not familiar with the project, it's a flick produced by Alexander Payne (Sideways, Election, About Schmidt) about a guy who is released from a mental institution (Michael Douglas) who is convinced there is buried treasure out there... and he knows how to find it. So, his estranged daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) is convinced to humor the old man. The movie is their journey. I mostly find Michael Douglas stiff but one of my all time favs is "falling down" and he did bring a certain something to "One Night at McCool's" with his low life, slumpy, washed-out Elvis rutine so cant wait.. =d
