All hail the ‘King Of California’ on DVD!
‘King Of California’ stars Michael Douglas as a fresh-out-of-the-mental institution father, and Evan Rachel Wood as his emancipated teenage daughter, as they venture together on a quest for an ancient Spanish treasure buried beneath their local Costco in this darkly funny, exciting and surprisingly hopeful take on the modern family and the American dream.
Written and directed by first-time filmmaker Mike Cahill and produced by Oscar- winning Alexander Payne (‘Sideways’). ‘King Of California’ makes its debut on DVD on June 2 from Revolver Entertainment.
Douglas stars as Charlie, a troubled musician who has just been released from a mental hospital. He returns home to live with his 16-year-old daughter, Miranda (Evan Rachel Wood), who is not exactly thrilled to have him back. Miranda has been forced to quit school and get a job in order to support herself and hold on to her beat-up old car and the family house, which is right in the middle of a new development--but she has refused to sell out.
Instead, she works extra shifts at McDonald's and has no social life. But her father--still suffering from mental illness--insists that she join him on a wild adventure in search of supposedly long-buried treasure, and soon the two of them are combing through California, facing danger as Charlie leads them on a crazy quest that takes them through major chain stores and restaurants. Wood (‘Thirteen’) is excellent as Miranda, walking that fine line between wanting to believe in her father and feeling he should be hospitalized again--but she never stops loving him, even against her better judgment.
Rambunctious and rousing from beginning to end and with a cracking turn from Michael Douglas, ‘King Of California’ is a proper jewel in the crown of indie comedy/dramas.
To celebrate the June 2 DVD release, we’ve been given five copies of the DVD to giveaway by our friends at Revolver Entertainment. To win this royally entertaining film, just do the following.
