Watch California Solo Movie Online No Survey Robert Carlyle (The Full Monty, Trainspotting) stars in this touching, human story about post-fame life and personal redemption. Former Britpop rocker Lachlan MacAldonich (Carlyle) has settled into a comfortably numb existence just outside Los Angeles. By day, he works on an organic farm and travels regularly to the city's farmers' markets to sell produce. By night, he retreats to his crummy apartment to record "Flame-Outs," his podcast that recounts the tragic deaths of great musicians. The only spark in his humdrum existence is Beau (Alexia Rasmussen), a lovely struggling actress and amateur chef. One night, Lachlan gets pulled over for a DUI, a charge that dredges up his past drug offense and threatens him with deportation. Lachlan's only hope of staying in the U.S. is proving that his removal would cause "extreme hardship" to a U.S. citizen spouse or relative, so he contacts his estranged ex-wife and daughter, raising past demons that he must finally confront. Danny Masterson co-stars. Written and directed by Marshall Lewy. Release Date California Solo Nov 30, 2012 Limited

Review For California Solo
Mainly worth seeing as a showcase for the appealing Scottish actor Robert Carlyle, who plays a has-been rocker reduced to eking out a living on an organic farm in Southern California. Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle In some sense, "California Solo" is like meeting an engaging stranger: At first there's a certain air of enigmatic mystery that makes you want to spend time with them, but eventually things turn awkward and you just want to get away. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times The story trickles to a disappointing close. But Carlyle, who first gained attention here for his unforgettable work in "Trainspotting," remains an essential character actor. Kyle Smith-New York Post It treats its themes of guilt and responsibility with delicate tact and a precise eye for the neglected commitments that stubbornly dog a man trying his damnedest to efface himself from the world. Ella Taylor-NPR A wry, mournful study of midlife crisis ... Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times Carlyle commits 100%, making Lachlan a guy worth watching, even when we know exactly where he's going. Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News Carlyle gives a nuanced performance--perhaps too nuanced, as the character's overall arc amounts to a blip of resignation. Annlee Ellingson-Paste Magazine It is not that the film is bad or boring so much as it is forgettable. John Esther-UR Chicago Magazine Clunky and lacks bite, but mostly engrossing thanks to Robert Carlyle's heartfelt, nuanced performance that adds complexity which the screenplay lacks. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru Anchored by Robert Carlyle's strong, naturalistic performance, in which he relies on his big smile and sad eyes in equal measure. Robert Levin-amNewYork Even as California Solo plays like a track we've heard before, it's still worth a listen. Eric Kohn-indieWIRE The movie becomes a character sketch, carried by its wealth of detail and a fantastic Carlyle performance. Noel Murray-AV Club Lewy's film functions largely as a delivery system for Carlyle's performance. Luckily, Carlyle's tough, tender turn is strong enough to carry the load. Sam Adams-Time Out New York No one has written a part for Robert Carlyle that gives him this kind of chance to show his range since The Full Monty. And that was 15 years ago. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine Robert Carlyle's performance compensates for the film's less successful elements and even makes you wonder if they might be strengths. Tomas Hachard-Slant Magazine One of the U.K.'s unsung character-actors, Carlyle sinks his teeth in and gives a remarkable performance. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com Carlyle carries the film with a typically dedicated performance. And he can carry a tune, too. Miles Fielder-The List
