Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

vesy90 This is my favourite comedy show. I never get tired of watching it. The humour isn't too heavy and tasteless, like in "Married with Children", nor is it too cute, like Perfect Stranges (I do love PC, though) Everybody Loves Raymond is warm, sweet and touching, without going overboard. It's very well balanced and the characters and situations are quirky and awesome. When I was a child, my favourite character was Frank, because he seems to be the worst of all. But in a really cool and hilarious way. He's mind-blowingly funny. However, now I can't pick. They're all great in their own way and despite their obvious and so entertaining flaws, they are generally really decent and loving people, hence the warm family atmosphere that always uplifts me. And I was so happy when Robert finally got his shit together and stayed with Amy for good. She is perfect for him and for the whole family, really. She is so sweet and innocent. Those people desperately needed someone like that. :) Everybody Lovers Raymond rocks. I love it.

MovieSoup I would do one of my in depth reviews on this "TV Show" however there would be no point in going into plot or characters when I have nothing but contempt for this show. If you want a review that is going to say nice things this is not the one for you. If you are interested in hearing my opinion though here it is….Everybody loves Raymond is a whiny, boring and unfunny piece of SH*T!!!! The show is so Italian American at times that it is actually very insulting. The show is full of Italian stereotypes that are not funny in the slightest. In fact the jokes in this are so flat and the characters so whiny, that you really have to wonder why people think this show is appealing. Ray Ramano is so glum and whiny all the time and his character, who is very imaginatively called Ray, is very unlikeable for this reason. All of his family conform to crap stereotypes that are not funny in the slightest. For example Rays wife knows what to do around the house and whinges at him constantly, his dad is lazy and rude, his mom does all the cleaning and mothers him and Rays brother hates him and is jealous… that is the entire family and their emotional blueprint.In sitcoms there has to be likable characters and good jokes. In this the whole family moans at each other the entire 210 episodes!!!!! And that is supposed to be the joke. People often say that comedy is very subjective and I reply NO IT IS NOT!!! What makes a person laugh is subjective but a joke is still a joke. If you have people screaming at each other and making rude comments then where is the joke?? It's like people who laugh at a fart, a fart is not a joke at all it is just something that happens. That is what most of the jokes in this "TV Show" are they are just happenings that have no real punchline or set up.These episodes are just sad and revolve around family arguments, which are not a funny thing to revolve around and fall flat every time. The big bang theory revolves around social awkwardness which can be funny at times but unlike BBT Everybody Loves Raymond is just painful to watch.Anyway I know this is more a rant than a review but you have to understand that I have been watching these episodes trying to find one joke that doesn't lead to an argument or a bad family situation. I have been watching for 5 seasons and it has not happened at all. I HATE this show and can say nothing good about it.

mnpollio I am really not a fan of the modern sitcom - especially the "family" sitcom. A genre of which Everybody Loves Raymond is a prime example. The formula seems to go somewhere along the lines of find a comedic actor/actress, plop them down in suburbia, give them a few (usually three) interchangeable charmless children, and surround them with colorful family members/friends whose wackiness drives to distraction and viola! instant success.Everybody Loves Raymond centers on Droopy Dawg-faced Ray Romano as Ray Barone, an Italian-American sadsack semi-happily married to Patricia Heaton and stuck living on the same street as his overbearing family, including dad Peter Boyle, mom Doris Roberts and brother Brad Garrett.The show does have things going for it. Scratch that - the show has one thing going for it. The trio of supporting performances from Boyle, Roberts and Garrett. These three seem to be the only ones to be aware that they are in a "comedy", are expected to be funny, and rise above the limitations of the mediocre scripts to attempt something better. Garrett looks like he could conceivably be Romano's brother and gives the kind of performance that Romano should be contributing in the lead role. Boyle and Roberts are fun together and playing off the others as well. Roberts, particularly, is good in scenes as the mother-in-law from hell to Heaton's colorless daughter-in-law.The actors playing the children are instantly forgettable - in fact, the kids are used so sparingly and without thought that they could vanish from the show and no one would notice (or care).Unfortunately, the show is cursed with leads that are challenged. Romano literally seems to have one facial expression and a voice that could put caffeine into a coma. Listening to his chronic affectless delivery is downright disconcerting enough, but someone should have pulled him aside early on and explained that there is a huge difference between deadpan and deadly dull. Literally, Raymond is almost completely devoid of charisma or personality. The show is truly centered around a lackluster droning sadsack.Yet oddly, Romano still manages to come off better than his on screen wife. Given that this is a modern comedy, it seems to be the new thing that actresses playing wives/mothers in sitcoms are simply not expected to be or allowed to be funny. The days of Lucille Ball in I Love Lucy, Audrey Meadows in The Honeymooners and Mary Tyler Moore in The Dick Van Dyke Show, where comedic actresses were allowed to be as equally funny as their male counterparts are apparently dead. Heaton gets to play the now all-too-common role of the wife/mother, who is not allowed to be funny because she is too busy acting responsible and being the professional scold. Her entire role is to react to those around her. Ostensibly she is the straight man - if being a straight man required you to be criminally unfunny and annoying. Alas for Heaton, there are too many examples of great straight men/women who manage to be funny in their own right to function as an excuse for what she is doing here. Think Margaret Dumont in the Marx Brothers epics or, more recently, Jane Curtin in Third Rock from the Sun. Heaton's delivery sounds chronically forced and delivered in that mock-acting tone/volume that all too often characterizes bad TV comedies. She is almost diabolically unfunny and actually manages to drain the life from some of her better cast members when sharing a scene. She is such an irritant that we can easily fathom why Ray is such a sadsack and why his family seems to have ambivalent feelings about her below the surface. Failing as both a comedic actress and even a functional straight woman, Heaton manages to be a black hole at the center of this show, often throwing the dull leading man off, and hobbling it from attaining any heights of amusement. Purportedly Heaton did not get along with her co-stars and, if true, it certainly shows on screen. However, that can certainly not be the sole excuse for the kind of crummy acting exhibited by her here, since she has been equally lousy in her subsequent mercifully short-lived comedic pairing with Kelsey Grammar in a show whose title I cannot even remember and in the somehow still-currently-running The Middle.So I must say that while there are times that I may love Peter Boyle, Brad Garrett and especially Doris Roberts on this show, I most definitely do not love Ray Romano and I think the dreadful Heaton makes Larry the Cable Guy resemble great comic art.

dilsonbelper SHOUT LOUDER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE AND IT BECOMES HUMOR ? SHOUT LOUDER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE AND IT BECOMES HUMOR ? SHOUT LOUDER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE AND IT BECOMES HUMOR ?Everybody Loves Raymond is probably placed 1st on my "Worst Comedy List". Having to watch Everybody Loves Raymond is painful for me having to sit through endless canned laughter. I have not laughed once in the amount of times I've watched this show, really, I haven't, it's that bad. I don't know about anyone else, but i don't find the comedy style of Ray Romano funny. The rest of the characters are complete airheads. When this show was about to end, I loved seeing the TV Guide magazine that said "goodbye Ray" on it. It's hard to believe it lasted as long as it did. This show was too boring and the humor was too dry. I found the show "Everybody Hates Chris" a thousand times more entertaining than this show.
