As production gets underway on Hank's latest movie "Santa Monica Cop," Stu has brought back his old director from "Fucking and Punching," hoping to create a box office hit with the new movie. However, Hank's rendezvous with the film's leading lady strains his relationship with Sam. Luckily for Hank and the rest of the movie's crew, Charlie has a backup plan in place.

Californication has jumped the shark

1.0

By snot_sandwich, Mar 27, 2012

When this show started, it was witty, smart, and fun. It was very sexual, but sex wasn't the point of the show. Season 5 rolls around and it seems like it's just soft-core porn without any other reason to exist. It's like they lost all the writers; the dialogue is lame, the new actors are appalingly bad. Camilla Luddington makes me CRINGE. This will be my last attempt at watching this show. bye bye.moreless
