Product Description

"You can’t always get what you want." The Rolling Stones may have said it best, and it seems to be writer Hank Moody’s theme song. David Duchovny (X Files) was born to play this sly, sarcastic, self-loathing, and--despite all the meaningless sex, booze, and fist fights--kind character. Writer Moody hates the Los Angeles world he lives in; a world that turned his sharp best-seller into a cheesy date movie, where his young daughter and should-have-been wife (Natascha McElhone) are slipping away into the hands of a rich play-it-safe guy, and where everything he truly wants seems just out of his reach. But the man hasn’t lost all hope. "Happy endings may get a bad rap, but they do happen," he assures his daughter. "And when they do, they’re just as true as the unhappy ones." One can’t help but hope Hank finds his happy ending, because it's with his family that his soft side surfaces. Hank takes no shame in trying to woo back his "wife" Karen, even if it is in front of her new fiancé. He knows he’s meant to be with her--plain and simple--and there’s a glint in her eye that always makes you wonder if she’s really thinking the same thing. And his daughter Becca? Well, any guy would melt against this guitar-wielding cutie (played by the adorable Madeleine Martin), but Hank really captures the "I’ll kick a lot of ass for my daughter" mentality that so many dads harbor. He’s also fully prepared to drop a gorgeous woman at a moment’s notice to heed his daughter’s call.
The rest of the cast, including Evan Handler (Sex and the City) and Pamela Adlon (Lucky Louie), provide some surprisingly interesting and hilarious side stories. Just when it seems situations in this show can’t get any more ludicrous or disgusting, they most certainly do. That’s the beauty of it. Californication is a dark, coarse, edgy adult comedy. It’s also very real, and quite intelligent. --Jordan Thompson

Crazy, sexy, witty... must see.,

This review is from: Californication: Season 1 (DVD)
This series has the best dialogue of any series that has been on television in a long time. Hank Moody is a New York writer stuck in Hollywood and tempted by all it has to offer.
This series is funny, sexy, ironic and kind of like Sex in the City for men. Catch is, women will love it also. Duchovny has this character nailed and i can't imagine anyone else doing as good a job. Get it or regret it.

What a great show!,
By AJ (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Californication: Season 1 (DVD)
I love this show, and everyone I've introduced it to loves it. I bought the dvd from amazon.ca the first day it came out and have watched it over and over. Such a funny, sexy, intelligent show. David Duchovny is perfect for the role of Hank Moody.
