Noah Segan, Ursula Mills, and Jordan Hinson in The California No (2020)

User reviews

The California No

12 reviews
4/10

I was going to ask for the return of 84 minutes back into my life, BUT...

I finally realized this $25K budget film actually has a purpose: When you think your life sucks and you just can't go on, watch this film, learn how others have it much worse than you. Noah Segan played his cuck role perfectly in that he always looked on the verge of crying.

What an epic movie!

Reallness at its finest. We've all had been there. Just cruising around with no idea what's next and I'm only joking this is the shities film ever made. Rave reviews from the main actor himself opening two imdb accounts. I might not get it though.

Made No Sense

The main character has no job. Does he ever look for one? How come he and his wife are going to a therapist when they're broke? Why is he smoking cigarettes when he's broke? The guy dresses like a bum: unbuttoned dress shirt hanging out over his jeans. Needs a haircut. Appears to have no job skills. People come into his life and the viewer doesn't know who they are.

No backstory for any of the characters. Director likes to show main character driving around from one place to another. No character development, no back story, no idea how the characters came together or how they know each other. Abrupt ending to story.

I didn't care for the profanity, either. Maybe that's the way they talk in Southern California now. They didn't when I lived there. All the characters just seemed to be low class to me.

Ugh. Milk toast dude can't get enough pain from his wife, so he goes out looking for more punishment.

Awful. The actors are leaden and wooden, the relationships are cliche and painful to watch, and the "hero" is unlikeable. The only redeeming person is Jocko, who is a cliche. Samantha deserved better; she was the only other person in this movie that I thought was decent. And what's up with that ending? Spoiler-you will scratch your head when it's over, wondering "What the hell did I just spend the last 12 hrs watching?" Oh, it's not 12 hours long? Just felt like it. Two wine glasses down.

A Boring Waste of Time

A cast of whiny, narcissistic, self indulgent, vapid and boring characters give this film no reason to exist.

I did ask for the return of 84 minutes back into my life, BUT...

...I couldn't get it. Just dismal. Stay away or you will have regret as well.

True to life

Relationships are complicated. Brings to focus the all to common oddity of how two people can share such close quarters yet are miles apart.

Yes to California No

Witty with a solid dose of sarcasm. I can see why it won so many awards.

Captured Essence of LA and Relationship Struggles

I really felt for Elliot. Just couldn't get it together romantically or career wise. Loved the location shots too. Very real LA.
