"Orange County" is a tacky teen film, about a young man named, Shaun, struggling to get into sought after school, Stanford University, to study under his favorite author, who is an English professor at said college.

All that stands between him and Stanford, is not intelligence or money, as he has both, it's his certifiably crazy family, who should be institutionalized. Shaun, his girlfriend and stoner brother, set out on a journey to get him into Stanford, where everything goes wrong.

This MTV film missed the mark and set a bad example for teens and twenty something students in university or planning to go there. It was salacious, scatterbrained and without any redeeming value.
