Reviews:
” Funny in such an honest way. Subtle yet efficient. Easy yet action packed. And what a sweet soundtrack and score!” by Julius Thyssen
“Well, yes, the plot of "King of California" is absurd. Maybe not so absurd to Charlie, however, whose quest is positioned as an assault on the bland conformity of society. What kind of a man, in possession of certain information that a fortune is buried under a Costco, would be such a wimp that he wouldn't go after it?” By Roger Ebert
“Unfortunately, first-time director Mike Cahill spends an inordinate amount of time dealing with the nuances of the hunt and caper and, even with his attempts to add in a dash of comedy, he can't redeem this aspect of the project. It's dull and repetitive and feels like filler, but it occupies at least 50% of the running time.” By James Berardinelli
