I really enjoyed it. Evan Rachel Wood is always a pleasure to watch.

King of California is a solid little flick that is mostly there to showcase the performance by Michael Douglas who really manages to look positively insane in most parts of the movie (it's the beard!!!). His performance is the film's highlight and Evan Rachel Wood makes for agood counterpart to him. Iliked their dynamics and the film also provided a nice share of laughs.
It didn't work as wel on the dramatic level, however. The movie claims to be from the makers of Sideways. Well, that movie managed to mix comedy and drama very well, whereas King of California didn't have as much success in this respect. I was also not a big fan of the ending, I must admit. That aside, it's worth seeing for Michael Douglas playing a very crazy-looking and sounding man, heh.

Very enjoyable movie. I love these types of films where you have to believe the "nutter" (like Conspiracy Theory etc). Michael Douglas is such a watchable actor. I like almost all of his films apart from Traffic (perhaps I will give it another try). I like it when things tie back in to earlier in the movie, and it did in this.
