Movie Reviews of Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Third Season
Movie Review: The art of not caring for other people's approval
Summary: 5 Stars
I got CYE based on seeing it in the DVD store, never having seen HBO. I know Larry David is the co creator and writer on Seinfeld, yet as comedian actor he is totally new to me.
It is fascinating and a little disturbing to see the similarities between Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. The gestures, intonation, delivery, humor and even similar facial expressions are a little eerie at times. Who influenced who?
This third season is brilliant with obvious parallels with both Seinfeld and Fawlty Towers starring John Cleese. Minor situations become major drama, with the main character creating situations which become farcical and then get resolved. The ruthless self absorption of the LD character, is quite compelling to watch, as he fearlessly goes where other people just wouldn't, and is often oblivious or indifferent to the destruction he causes. You just got to admire someone who relentlessly does not care what other people think.
I was particularly appalled by the firing of the chef, after hiring him for being bald, and then firing him for wearing a toupee.
Refusing to thank a friend's wife for buying dinner, because her husband put down the card, and he was the bread winner, as it was his money not their money that was paying for the meal.
Shamelessly using the death of his mother to get sympathy sex from Cheryl.
Having Cheryl bake cookies filled with Benadryl so that Richard Lewis' new Christian girlfriend who refused to take medication would eat them and recover quickly from her peanut allergy reaction which LD triggered. The beauty of it would be she would think her recovery was due to prayer.
Asking a waiter for the tip back because he thought he had tipped him twice.
Giving his friend a yoga mantra, Ja Ya then asking him to stop using it. Friend discovers yoga mantra means f--- me!
The episode where he hires the chef with Tourette's syndrome, is classic in the way of Seinfeld.
I think my favorite episode if I had to choose is the Corpse Sniffing Dog.
Cheryl the wife is priceless as a study in patience 'Loving you is my job Larry.'
I could go on. LD is truly appalling, yet I love the show, and have also ordered season 2. The series does contain some strong language, compared to network offerings. Update: Having now seen season 2 as well, I consider season 3 is consistently better, although I have to say season 2 has a couple of really outstanding episodes. I particularly liked the one with Thor the Wrestler. I recommend you get season 3 first.
All the episodes on season 3 are very good. There is a stop and greet interview with most of the cast. It is interesting to note that there is little scripted dialogue, yet the stories are very well structured, and the situations are extremely well set up, and the actors just go, and they have different cameras focused in on each actor. It is unconventional, yet works amazingly well.
Summary of Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Third Season
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM:SSN3 - DVD MovieThe third season of HBO's comedy sensation offers more of the same. "Not that there's anything wrong with that," to quote Larry David's other television series, a certain little sitcom called Seinfeld. Consequently, Curb Your Enthusiasm's junior year means more Larry (Larry David) and more of his hilariously embarrassing mishaps. It also means more of his patient spouse Cheryl (Cheryl Hines), avuncular manager Jeff (Jeff Garlin), Jeff?s foul-mouthed wife Susie (Susie Essman), and assorted celebrity pals, including Richard Lewis, Ted Danson, Wanda Sykes, Paul Reiser, and Martin Short, all playing themselves (or, like Larry, versions thereof).
The theme that (loosely) ties these 10 episodes together is Larry's involvement in upscale eatery Bobo's, in which Danson and Michael York (yes, that Michael York) are co-investors. As expected, the restaurant will serve to complicate Larry's life in every conceivable way--and vice versa. But the funniest (and most profane) episode must surely be "Krazee-Eyez Killa," starring Chris Williams (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story) as the fidelity-impaired gangster rapper to whom Wanda has become engaged. This riotous installment, which sends up Jewish, Italian, and African American gangsters alike, won an Emmy for Robert B. Weide's direction and features that old master-of-direction himself, Martin Scorsese, who first appeared in "The Special Section" (in which Larry bribes a gravedigger to relocate his mother?s gravesite). It's also the episode in which Larry gets a hair stuck in his throat. That hair, which once belonged to someone rather close to him, will remain lodged there for the next several episodes, until a "divine intervention" in "Mary, Joseph and Larry" dislodges it once and for all--along with the last of Larry's dignity. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
