The King of California

We found this little gem one night when we couldn't quite seem to fall asleep.  As Brian frequently refers to California as the "Promised Land" I thought it might be a hit.  Suprisingly it was, but not for the reasons you would think.

The begining is rather slow, but sit tight.  Soon enough the suttle gems of entertainment arise.  Imagine a young 16 year old girl who lives with her quite literally insane father.  They have no money.  She works at McDonalds to pay the bills.  Life is rough.  And now someone wants to take their home because it doesn't fit in with the surrounding new townhome development. 

As a solution to the problem the Dad remembers some research he'd done during his stint in the mental institution.  There's a burried treasure from a spanish conquest and he has a journal outlining the details on how to find it.  Where might they find the buried treasure?  Only 6 feet under the floor dead center in the middle of a Costco.

They hire on a team member who has skills in breaking security alarms.  Thank heavens for him as he adds to the undertoned humor.  During the planning of this adventure paths cross with a party of swingers, a run in with the cops, and a deep sea dive below Costco's floors.

The end is so classic I can't give it away.  Take a look and let me know what you think.  I gave this movie an 8 pm rating.  That's when you're bored enough to watch it, but still awake enough you won't fall asleep!

Here's a trailer from Rotton Tomatoes to give you a visual.
