Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm (TV Movie 1999)

Larry David: Curb Your Enthusiasm: Directed by Robert B. Weide. With Jason Alexander, Larry Charles, Carol Leifer, Richard Lewis. Mock documentary about Seinfeld writer Larry David featuring contributions from his friends and colleagues. Larry makes a return to stand-up comedy and prepares to film a television special for HBO.

“Years ago America pondered the u0026quot;Seinfeldu0026quot; philosophy, climaxed, and then closed the book after the closing episode on NBC. Seinfeld was, at times, a good show, and in more ways than one. Unbeknownst to me, Seinfeld made promises that it did not keep – I would never have realized this had I not encountered HBOu0026#39;s Curb Your Enthusiasm. It is becoming apparent that Larry David is the John Lennon to Jerry Seinfeldu0026#39;s Paul McCartney. Curb Your Enthusiasm is awkward, tense and diabolically funny. Although the show resembles Seinfeld, HBOu0026#39;s Larry Sanders and Woody Allen merchandise, it is impossible not to say that Larry David and the creators have not re-re-re-invented the situation comedy once again.”
