    • Trivia
      They actually did film in a Costco, on a working schedule between the hours of 9:00 pm and 9:00 am. Since they were there for such long hours, members of the crew were trying clothes on and looking through the other products so Costco kept a cash register open all night long so that anyone could purchase things.

    • Quotes

      Teacher: [inquiring about her diorama] Who are all the little people Miranda?

      Miranda - Age 9: Those are the bodies of the Chumash Indians, who died of Syphilis and Influenza, infected by the missionaries.

      Teacher: Uh, Miranda, go out in the hallway and wait for me...

    How to approach "King of California"....
    This is a film about the relationship between a father and his daughter. The daughter is extremely responsible, and more mature than dad. Dad is an irresponsible dreamer, and the role reversal is intriguing. Michael Douglas and Evan Rachel Wood nicely compliment a very clever script. If you are the type of viewer who demands complete logic in everything that happens on the screen, you will not enjoy "King of California", because the story requires you to suspend disbelief. If you enjoy a treasure hunt, even one that is chasing smoke, then by all means see this film. It has a nice message,"you've got to believe in treasure to find it" - MERK
