 | I don't understand many of the negative reviews, this movie is brilliant....I can't say that's it's all that funny more clever than hilarious. The way the music is set to fit the scene is really over the top, love it |

| Let's be fair. It's not Seinfeld or CYE. It IS TV humor and it doesn't really translate very well to a feature film. The premise is standard-mill Larry David and despite what the people who expect another Seinfeld say, it has the LD ring to it. Not terrible, and certainly not great, its an amateurish, mediocre movie...but still funny and ironic enough in parts to warrant a couple of stars.

If you are a fan of the kind of life I'm describing right now, then you are really in luck, because sometimes I don't even know how old I am. You love people who don't understand life, and Sour Grapes is a classic. |

| Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm is hilarious. Seinfeld was hilarious. The type of humor in these two successful TV shows simply does not work in a full-length movie. The movie is horrible, the ending is absurd, in fact the whole entire plotline is absurd. Don't waste your time with this film - watch an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm instead. |

| Writer/direcor Larry David tries to bring that Seinfeld feel to the big screen, I for one think he accomplished it. The thing that people don't get about this film is just that. By that I mean the co-creator of the show tried to bring that sly t.v. humor to a full all out motion picture, and for the most part people don't seem to get that. You see films are aloud to be more outragous and open, while t.v. has to be more carefull about what they do, that's why t.v. has to have a diffrent type of humor. with that said unless you understand that you will not enjoy this film.
The story follows two cousins who have grown up like brothers, so they go reno [i think, I don't remember exactly where]. Evan lends two quarters to his cuz Richie who then wins the jackpot. What follows is an all out war between the two over how much the other should get. Orlando Jones joins in on all of the fun for some of the films finest parts. But like I said if you don't go into this knowing it is based on a tv/seifield typen humor basis then you will not like it.
Does it make the five star classic rating, no, but for those who like this kind of humor alot it just might. Do I recomend it, yes, will you like it, maybe, but over all I think it was a very good atempt at some big screen seinfeld humor. |
