Leave your thoughts about King of California.
| MaximPete HammondLike the character Douglas plays you may have to search to see this hidden gem yourself, but its well worth the hunt. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxWood is excellent, but this is a career highlight for Douglas. His depiction of the manic Charlie stays surprisingly grounded and prevents the story from being a naive celebration of mental illness as a kind of freedom that it so easily could have become. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIt's barely distinguishable from the many other independent films about eccentric people who do odd things, but hey, it ain't bad. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean Axmaker... perfectly genial and agreeably modest character piece. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasWith Douglas, the film's shambling charms slowly catch hold, thanks mainly to his personal magnetism. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanCahill deserves major credit for keeping the story from becoming mawkish or twee. He was also wise enough to realize it's Douglas' show, and as soon as he steps into the frame, you'll know it, too. |
| PremiereGlenn KennyThe result is enjoyable and frequently affecting. The one weak note is Douglas' performance — he does more than phone it in, but his essential Douglas-ness makes the character less believable than he might have been. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhen you stand back a step from the movie, you admire Douglas and Wood for starting with potentially unplayable characters, and playing them so well we actually care about a quest that, in a way, seems more designed for Abbott and Costello. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoMike Cahill's King of California reminds me of those '70s-era pictures beloved of the counterculture about appealing rebels who go down in flames of moral victory. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongRambunctious and rousing from beginning to end, the hugely entertaining King of California offers Michael Douglas his best role since Traffic. |
