Sonhando com a Califórnia

Movie "California Dreaming" 2007 (Orig title "Out Of Omaha") 5/10 score

There is this scene where the son says he is afraid to swim in the ocean because sharks might kill him.

Dave Foley, the dad, says, "Statistically speaking, you are much more likely to get killed by your sister, than you are by a shark." LMAO

The movie is similar to "RV" 2006. California Dreaming is about an RV road trip for a vacation. They are to leave Omaha and head for Cal. They never get out of Omaha. There is even a snot nosed teenager in it! There's a fresh twist! The movie is dumb, but kinda likeable too. I just watched it, and it seems like it could have been written better. And, it certainly could have been directed waaaay better. The director, Linda Voorhees, really stinks! The mom person is Lea Thompson. She and Dave Foley make a really sweet, believable couple. // The Bushwacker 11/27/2021.

I just finished watching California Dreaming with Dave Foley and Lea Thompson. It was so bad on so many levels it's impossible to decide where to begin the review.

It's too late for me. But you can still save yourself.

If you've never been to Omaha, you're doing good and if you've never watched this movie, you're doing better than me.

This movie is as exciting as Omaha - and Omaha is not exciting.

A script that is as lame as the bland, vacant, uninteresting of Nebraska.

If you live in Nebraska, I now know what your life must be like. My heart goes out to you.

This was one of the best movies I have ever seen. From amazing character development to incredible script this one has it all. It is a MUST SEE!! Dave Foley is HILARIOUS! I could not get enough of Lea Thompsons performance, she was brilliant. The daughter is funny and crazy and the son plays a gripping portrayal of a misguided youth trying to forget the world around him by surrounding himself in hand held video games. This is a star studded cast and it shows well as this disgruntled family of 4 tries to make their way to Dohini Beach in California for a dream vacation. Unfortunately for them they are thwarted by a run away dog, never ending alarm, pesky police, crazy families, and interesting situations.

The above information is false.

Wow. I am shocked that with the considerable charm and talents of Dave Foley and Lea Thompson that someone with access to enough money to finance this could have actually put this turd to film. It is that bad. There is almost nothing even mildly amusing. The alarm bit was horrible. The stowaway boyfriend and his parents--horrible (but I did like the acting of that dude that was on Star Trek).

All in all it is simply worse than I could come up with in about five minutes, including the complete script idea, the casting of the daughter/boyfriend, and the "comedy."

Foley was so good in "Blast From The Past" and Thompson was very appealing in "Back To The Future." I can understand how folks will do such things as THIS movie when they need money. I just feel sorry for them both and I hope better days are ahead.
