Movie Reviews of Seinfeld: Season Seven
Movie Review: Laugh-out loud funny!
Summary: 5 Stars
There's nothing dated about this classic sitcom, which defined the early '90s TV comedy as Jerry and his buddies traipsed through New York life and its various little adventures.
As the creators promised, Seinfeld is indeed largely "a show about nothing." That said, it's often the little daily annoyances, ups and downs that make for the most entertaining stories in our own lives, and it certainly held true for Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer.
Particularly memorable episodes include the two-part "The Bottle Deposit," where Kramer and Newman scheme a plot to make money by cashing in their soda bottles in Michigan, a deranged mechanic (played by Brad Garrett) makes off with Jerry's car, and Elaine struggles to recapture the John F. Kennedy Jr. golf clubs she's supposed to get to her boss but seems to have left in the stolen car. There's also the infamous "Soup Nazi" episode, which spawned the classic "No soup for you!" line, as the soup store chef belligerently denied any patrons he deemed unworthy of his art.
Like all the other season box sets, Season 7 includes loads of bonus material, such as deleted scenes, inside looks and cast commentaries.
Even decades later, the humor of this smart show holds up, perhaps even stronger than ever.
Movie Review: No Soup For You!
Summary: 5 Stars
There isn't much to say about this season or this show that hasn't been said already. I like the arc of this season better than season six: the concept of George's engagement hovers omnipresent in the background during the entire season, and I think it works exceptionally well as a comic medium (I am especially enamored with Susan's ultimate departure from the cast.)
Aside from the engagement arc, there are other works of comedy genius here that rival the best of the other seasons. "The Soup Nazi" has to be my personal favorite of the season, but "The Shower Head" provides the cast with wonderful opportunities for physical comedy (albeit through the unlikely medium of their hair), while "The Rye" and "The Cadillac" worked sublimely in combination. I found Michael Richard's character (and the Kramer-driven plotpoints) to become a bit more monotonous this season, but that may be due to the contrast with the exceptional characterizations from the other three principals.
Of course there are plenty of extras (I especially like the "Notes About Nothing" feature) all of which are worth watching. As always, this is a fabulous show, and should be in the library of any comedy lover.
Movie Review: still the greatest
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seasons one thru seven and they are all brillant. I have read where in 8 and 9 they almost become cartoon characters but even in this and in some of the earler seasons anytime someone other than Larry David is the writer that can happen. I think the other writers try to imitate Larry and they get the crazyness and originalty down pretty well but only David new these characters as real people. (I think my favorite seasons are three and four, and David wrote quite a few of those episodes.) Of the four stars they were all great of course. The three guys look a little thicker in particular George. (It may have been the fault of the show for George. It seems like everytime he was in Jerry's apartment this season he was eating and who knows how many takes they went through.) And Elaine's glamour makover makes her seem like a different person. It is as if the actress playing Elaine retired after season six and they hired a model that kind of looked like the original Elaine. That said, I do not think I will every get tired of this series, and also by the way, it is the best put together TV cd set I have ever seen, thanks. PS Newman is great.Movie Review: Amazon ships damaged product
Summary: 5 Stars
I gave the DVD five stars, as the show is great, there is perhaps nothing I can add to the previous reviews. However, take note that Amazon has been sending me "new" DVDs that appear clearly used, with the packaging completely damaged. I recommend the whole series to everyone, just do yourself a favor and buy it elsewhere, or pay half price to get a used item sold as used.
The first time (another Seinfeld DVD) the packaging looked only slightly damaged. Perhaps someone dropped it once before packaging, I thought. This time, however, the box that contains the four discs was torn along one of the edges, and all corners of it were damaged. It looks like someone played soccer with it for a while.
It is a shame that Amazon sells discs in such condition.
Note that once you take the DVDs out of their plastic wrap (I had to before I could see the box is torn), you can get back at most fifty percent of the original price, making it worthless to return.
Movie Review: Best Season Yet!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the season to own. It has some of the best episodes. As for Kramer, don't listen to the media hype. What happened was wrong, but it's not a big deal. He's not a racist. It was just some dialogue that went wrong, AT A COMEDY CLUB...like that never happens? Everyone is guilty of offending someone in their life...probably on multiple occasions. I am so sick of these "perfect" people in the news business that never have a slip of the tongue. And what about all the black comedians that trash whites in their jokes? If you are sick of this hypocrisy as I am, then buy this DVD. I may buy 2 copies to show my support for Kramer and the show.
This is also Larry Davids last season (check Curb Your Enthusiasm). The show was better with him behind the wheel. The two seasons after this one are well worth owning, but you can tell that Larry is gone.
