Mischa Barton, Adam Brody, Ben McKenzie, and Rachel Bilson in The O.C. (2003)

Review by filmcrit-2

The O.C.

7/10

It won me over...

Yes, so I liked OC. There's the hot, troubled guy (for the Russell Crowe/Colin Farrell girls). The lovable, intellectual guy (for the Ed Norton/Tobey Maguire girls). Then there's the melodrama, which all girls love. My only problem is that FOX has painted itself into another corner with the homogeneous cast. I'm sure they'll throw in a hot black guy (a la 2 Fast 2 Furious, for the Tyrese girls) when the hot, troubled guy needs a friend from "da hood". All I'm saying is that when a show's idea of diversity is blondes and a couple of brunettes, that's not a good sign. So suspension of disbelief won't be attained with this show. It's ok, though. I'll settle for summer eye candy.
