Storyline

Charlie gets released from an insane asylum and moves in with Miranda, the young daughter he left behind. Charlie believes that there is treasure hidden beneath the local Costco, so he puts together a plan to unearth the loot. By convincing Miranda to quit her job at McDonald's and instead work at the wholesale store, he is able to obtain a key. Although Miranda is skeptical, she helps her father with his irrational quest.

Critics consensus

“A quirky and often touching comedy about a mature teenager and her manic depressive father, King of California is a charming tale of familial relations and treasure hunting.”

The story is simple, sometimes to a fault, and ultimately Cahill doesn't quite pull off all of the majesty that he attempts. But, I'm excited to see what he'll come up with next.

The most remarkable thing about King of California is how the characters grow on you, and how their quixotic quest becomes ours.

King of California means to be the jewel in the crown of indie-flick quirkiness, but it's really just a bauble with ambition.

For an 'adventure movie' full of quirk, King of California can feel a bit flat.
