I chose to watch the film King of California starring Michael Douglas as Charlie and Evan Rachel Wood as his 16 year old daughter Miranda. The film centers around Miranda and as the narrator she details how she basically managed to raise herself with her mother having abandoned her early on and her father neglecting her for most of the time and the remainder of the time he spent inside a mental institution. When Charlie is released he comes home to Miranda having dropped out of school and working long hours at a McDonald's for minimum wage. To make matters worse Charlie becomes obsessed with finding hidden Spanish gold doubloons which he is convinced are buried somewhere under Southern California. Overall as a low budget independent film the plot remained entertaining throughout and the viewer can be sure to be in for a laugh during the movie and a surprise at the end.
