Watch The Oranges For Free

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I'm not giving The Oranges an amazing rating out of 10, but it was fine for a Sunday afternoon movie binge. A lot of people are bagging out the premise, but I actually consider it to be a new take on the usual Hollywood BS of an older guy and a younger girl in a relationship. The story typically goes "Older guy falls in love with younger woman and vice versa, and no one really seems to give a crap about the age difference and they live happily ever after". Fortunately, this one is a little more realistic - "Older guy falls in love with younger woman and vice versa, and everyone reacts as you would expect them to - i.e. they freak the s*** out". It's an enjoyable film that is worth the hour and a half.

Hugh Laurie, and Catherine Keener are the Wallings. Their daughter Vanessa (Alia Shawkat) is too scare to go after her dream. She has retreated back home with a dead-end job.Oliver Platt, and Allison Janney are the Ostroffs. Their daughter is the often-absentee hard-partying Nina (Leighton Meester), and she's running home after she catches her boyfriend Ethan cheating. Both families would like her to get involved with the Walling son Toby (Adam Brody).The whole thing blows up when Nina has inappropriate relations. It is inappropriate on so many levels. Almost everybody feels betrayed. The subject matter really prevents any of jokes to be funny. In fact, the quirky tone constantly conflicts.The best line happens when Hugh Laurie and Leighton Meester are in a coffee shop discussing their affair. He is trying desperately to put into words how inappropriate this all was. And she says "There is no rules!" That seems to be the ultimate message of this movie. It's a very uncomfortable message. No matter what the accepted convention is. Love is a game where truly "There is no rule!"

This film took me by surprise. I didn't have much hope for it when I learned it played on an overused cliché, a relationship between a married gentleman and a much younger girl. As you will find,things get much worse. Relationships are broken and everyone is ultimately affected. This film promotes the fact that seeking happiness for yourself can sometimes have an adverse effect on the people you care about most. I found myself rooting Hugh Laurie.I wanted to believe he could love a much younger woman and that she could love back.Yes the story was fairly predictable but if you take this movie for what it is you will be entertained throughout.All in all the film portrayed just what it wanted. The ending wasn't overly profound. It's tells us what we already know,that things go on.

Ridiculous, bland and terrible. There was no weight to any of the relationships. When the young girl tells her uncle that there are "no rules", she reveals the ENTIRE motivation of both characters.There are no rules! So lets go to Atlantic City! And hey, if your partner of over twenty years walks out on you because you're sleeping with the child of her (and your!) best friends, well that's just a thing that happens!The scenes between Laurie and Meester are quite bland, though they get more nauseating as their systematic destruction of their family relationships continue.It just makes no sense.
