Jeez, this is good. I've been meaning to get around to Curb Your Enthusiasm for quite some time, having read a glowing report in some American magazine. But I won't kid you, Curb will need a little work on your behalf. Which, I guess is testiment to it's depth. Hardly accessible like the standard sit-com, this is... well, the only way I can describe it is one parts One Foot In The Grave, to one part Woody Allen and Seinfeld (inevitably) - but all played utterly, utterly, and brilliantly straight (and without canned laughter). I watched the first episode, and didn't really get what all the fuss was about, but by the time I hit #2, I was hooked. If the Americans are doing themselves down, saying their mainstream humour could never allow dark, intelligent, and utterly belligerent comedy characters to evolve, like The Office's David Brent, then think again... because Curb is all of these things rolled into a style of its own. Presented in a lo-fi, Indy style, the action takes place in an America a million miles away from polished Friends or Fraiser studio audiences, and revels in the opinion that real life, and other people, are rubbish... or at best, over-rated. If you ever have anti-social thoughts whilst trying to navigate a crowded supermarket, full of pushy parents, screaming kids, and rude folk, then Curb Your Enthusiasm is the comedy for you! Truly brilliant.
If you like your humour black and story lines far fetched and cringe-making to watch (think The Office), then this is the series for you. Not everyone's cup of tea and a bit 'samey' after the first few episodes, but a good laugh nonetheless.
Larry David tried to convince director Woody Allen to drop him from his new movie Whatever Works - because the comedian was sure he would "ruin" the film. The Curb Your Enthusiasm star, who portrays lead character Boris Yellnikoff in the upcoming romantic comedy, admits he had doubts about taking on the part - and he spent every day of the shoot fearing he'd be the movie's downfall. David says, "I talked to him (Allen) on the phone and told him, 'You're making a terrible mistake. I'm gonna... Read more
