Good concept, poorly executed.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I don't like Wanda Sykes in any dose, but she is used entirely too much. Not funny, annoying with an irritating voice; at least she isn't hard to look at... Oh wait...

I am really shocked at the positive reviews, I think Larry David must have paid people to write them. Speaking of Larry David, the man is not a good actor and sees to think he is WAY funnier than he is. The only good thing about this show are the guest stars and even that is not a reason to keep watching. This is a show that should have never been made.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is in its 10th season of production, which is amazing when you consider Seinfeld only went nine. Larry David, like the self-centered-even-for-a-Seinfeld-sitcom George Costanza character, takes some getting used to, but he does things that most of us wish we would. Such as confront some jerk who parks in two public spaces. It is only a fictional sitcom, but David seems like he would do that in real life.
Some episodes go too far even for this darker comedy. Bringing back Michael "Kramer" Richards to poke fun at his 2006 real-life racist rant was a new low, until David likely went lower by eating the last meal of a dying dog. All he and his manager had to do was buy the yogurt and bring it back for the dog. I didn't laugh when they ate the yogurt during an argument on the ride home and was caught doing so by an acquaintance; I merely wondered why they couldn't buy yogurt cups for them if they were hungry. It didn't work as comedy - making light of a dog dying rarely does.
This is as much parody of society's excesses as any sitcom and does make you think of how the somewhat smaller nuisances in life can grow to become bigger problems. As pure entertainment, I prefer an Indiana Jones movie, but it makes me laugh in places. David is more mature than the Seinfeld characters, and he should be, being quite a bit older. But he still leaves me lacking many times.

This show is OK, but extremely over-hyped. It is as if anything Larry does is supposed to be automatic comedy gold. Some of the situations were funny or entertaining, but this is still a very, very mediocre show, about a guy that is not that interesting. Basically, if you are friends with the right people, or a random Jewish guy, you pretty much have a 70% chance of success in Hollywood from the start. I mean, look at Adam Sandler and Pauly Shore. Larry has his moments, but it reminds me of Robin Williams. His bits get tedious and he comes off as an annoying attention-whore making noise about nothing. Robin Williams' interviews and routines often became like this, as if he needed to be doing something stupid and having people laugh at every move he made. If he put on a fake nose and jumped on a table, impersonating John Wayne, he was supposed to be a genius, automatically. Don't get me wrong--both Williams and Larry David have talent, but everything you do doesn't have to be comedy gold, and trust me, it isn't. Just because you play goofy music and put a pizza in the oven and make faces or something random, doesn't make me laugh offgate. OK show, like Seinfeld, but overblown as hell.
