Movie Reviews of Curb Your Enthusiasm - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: So funny but not for those over 70
Summary: 5 Stars
I like challenging my family and introducing them to material that stretches their point of view. Not being an HBO subscriber, I was hoping CYE would be on the level of Seinfeldt- good for the whole family. Larry David's all too frequent use of the "F" word and crude references to male and female organs in my mind makes this rich series inaccessible for grandma and grandpa, the grandkids, and probably many church goers who could really benefit from this sophisticated humor. IMHO, it's a shame he couldn't have curbed his enthusiasm just a tad to make this wonderful series available to all (like Seinfeldt). Grandma is stuck with the less lustrous American Idol and old issues of Millionaire, while I'll be frustrated that I can't share this wonderful comedy classic.
Summary of Curb Your Enthusiasm - The Complete First Season
Like its fellow HBO series Sex and the City, this half-hour comedy broke some TV rules and went from critics' darling to an award-winning series in three years. Curb Your Enthusiasm is the brainchild of star-creator Larry David who co-created Seinfeld and was the basis for the easily rattled George Costanza (who was played by Jason Alexander). Like George, David has a tendency to speak too much, blow things out of proportion, and, most often, fail in the end (and often liking it that way). David's new show is also like its predecessor: it's about "nothing" except following the day-to-day ramblings of a sometime writer and comic (this time in L.A.). Eternal questions stemming from universal daily dilemmas are honed to perfect comedic absurdity. A notable exception is the show is only scripted by plot; much of the action is improvised. The first season starts with a one-hour mockumentary following David's return to stand-up for the first time in years; the other 10 episodes follow a more traditional sit-com setup.David plays "himself" (as does his friend, Richard Lewis) although his manager and wife are played by comedians Jeff Garlin and Cheryl Hines. Although this first season is a comedic gem, one can't take more than an episode or two at a time--it's acidic, biting comedy. The episodes are often built like a house of cards, which the irritable David will surely collapse by the end. Like another caustic TV character, Dabney Colman's Buffalo Bill (1983-84), Larry David is not for everybody. --Doug Thomas
He's got it all a loving wife good friends a successful career a good home... What could go wrong for Larry David? CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM stars "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David as himself in an unsparing cinema verite depiction of his life.
