California King

About This Movie

California King, directed by Eli Stern, is a wild mix of action, comedy, and crime that really plays with absurdity. Perry, the mattress store manager, has this palpable desperation when Lynette announces her departure. You can feel the stakes through the zany pacing and the buddy dynamic with Wyatt, who is just reckless enough to push the plot into chaos. The chemistry between the two leads is offbeat but works well, and it gives the film a quirky tone that’s refreshing. The practical effects in some of the action scenes add a nice touch, keeping it grounded amid the absurdity. It's not your run-of-the-mill heist flick—there's a certain charm and heart amidst the madness that keeps it distinctive.

Strong buddy comedy elements. · Interesting take on crime capers. · Practical effects enhance the film's charm.
