DVD Synopsis

Michael Douglas stars as a treasure-hunting eccentric in this Alexander Payne-produced comedy from director Michael Cahill. Recently released from a mental institution and reunited with his teenage daughter, Miranda (Evan Rachel Wood), Charlie (Douglas) decides there's century's old gold buried near their lower-middle-class neighborhood, and sets out on an obsessive quest to find it. Along the way, the estranged parent and child rekindle a long-lost bond with each other. Featuring a score by David Robbins, King of California screened at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

I really liked this movie! I think Michael Douglas really excels at playing far out characters like this, he was great as the bipolar Charlie. Evan Rachel Wood is a great young talent, I expect to see her accepting an Oscar one day. You will like this movie if you enjoy character driven,and unusual storylines.
