MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Jahnavi Mukul People, wake up!!! Can't you see that Rake is here? In the past year of the new flood of boring, meaningless TV shows (with the exception of a few) Rake leaves a mark on your mind that refuses to go away. Greg Kinnear at a career best portrays Keegan Deane in a way you won't think it's Kee(as he is called) but you'd think of him as a part of Kinnear. The rest of the cast also does an amazing job but it's Greg's show through and through. You could never get tired of watching this show. It is imperfection at its best. This is not your average legal drama. This has a new case every week but the constant factor is Kee. Kee's women also make the show what it is. There is Miranda Otto who plays Kee's ex- wife. There is Tara Summers who plays his secretary. There is Bojana Novakovic who plays a prostitute Keegan is in love with. Necar Zadegan plays his one of his best friends who he fights cases against. This show is about raw masculinity which we all either totally loath or we love. This show's tagline should have been ''IT's A MAN's MAN's MAN's WORLD.'' Greg steals the show and then some. You will eagerly wait for the next week just to watch Rake. I absolutely love Rake. It is the reason I am a couch potato.

carolswrld Rake is awesome! We look forward to watching it every week. This is the first series that we've have seriously considered since Seinfeld. If you like that slightly off sense of humor, you will love Rake. Some people just don't get it! We DVR it every week just in case we can't watch it. We laugh, we are excited to see what comes next and if FOX cancels, after moving it's time slots around too much, they are are stupid! Greg Kinnear is a great comedic actor! I used to tape Talk Soup back in the day when he was the host and this is great, just like that was! No one has hosted that show like he did. Look up old versions if you're not familiar. His timing is impeccable!

sarumanza I really couldn't care less how this compares to the original Rake, I love this one (but I am excited to check out the original while waiting for new episodes). The first episode I was mildly interested in but by the third episode I was hooked. Some of the characters in this show are just so utterly ridiculous that you can't help but laugh out loud at them. In the first episode it seemed a little too ridiculous but after watching more episodes you see that no, they really are real people, and they get by just fine being who they are without any excuses. I've never seen anything like this show before but I love it. Humans being humans, nothing funnier.Edit: OK, so while waiting for new American episodes I'm checking out the original and I couldn't disagree more with the other reviews. The American version has me busting a gut laughing out loud while the Aussie version is more of a court room drama. The Aussie version is completely lacking in the sheer incredulity that makes the American version so hilarious. The dialogue and main character in the Aussie version seem too serious, he has it too together, whereas the main character in the American version is just barely hanging on by the skin of his teeth, which provides for far funnier situations and dialogue. I can only imagine that the reviewers preferring the Aussie version can't handle the American one, as they are quite different shows. The new one cranks it up to 11, it's the show that Rake should have been and now thankfully is.

kathleenh1111 This is one of the BEST TV shows I have seen in years! No kidding. Great show. Kinnear is excellent in it...a real cutie...and super funny. Love everything about the show. Haven't felt this way about a TV show for a long, long time. Great show. 10 stars. Excellent writers! Kinnear is really cool in it and I get a kick out of the attitude he displays in his interactions with others. All the actors do a good job. Every once in awhile a right combination of all necessary component parts come together to produce a show that has that extra 'something' that sets it apart. This show has that special something. Hope it stays on a long time so viewers can have a good laugh. Best wishes and much continued success. Thank you. Kathleen
