DVD Reviews of Curb Your Enthusiasm - The Complete Fifth Season
DVD Review: Who?
Summary: 5 Stars
Who is Larry Davis? If you don't like Seinfeld, you probably won't like this either. Funniest show on the air, bar none!!DVD Review: Curb is pure GENIUS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since my bestfriend turned me onto Curb Your Enthusiasm I've been hooked! It is the most intelligent humour on television without being pretentious or predictable! So far the sixth season is my favorite but all of his shows are gems! Larry David is one of the funniest people I've seen in my lifetime and I'm picky. Pick one of the seasons and watch it! I assure you, you won't be disappointed.DVD Review: Think of the final episode of "Seinfeld"
Summary: 2 Stars
Simply put: "I'm Larry David: I'm super-rich, super-successful, and a has-been.... NOW what? I know, I'll star in a show about myself-- I'll be the REAL Jerry Seinfeld-- but I'm really GEORGE!"
Result: not really funny at all, so much as "interestingly boring." Just like on Saturday Night Live, the problem with celebrity-mocudrama is EGO, i.e. they are so successful, that they know they don't HAVE to be funny anymore-- and they don't CARE what anyone else thinks; so their only motivation is entertaining themselves, rather than the audience. And with Larry, this manifests in his own fantasy, where he's supposedly obsessed with everyone else's opinion of him being a nice-guy -- because that's the only way he can relate to the audience anymore, but the reality is that he's simply a one-hit wonder but still craves attention, and so he tries to play self-deprecation, but only succeeds in self-indulgence. His "weird experiences" which are simply CONDESCENSION-- i.e. that a semi-billionare celebrity like Larry David can suffer the same problems as the "little guy in the audience," like having to deal with the same crap from idiot bottom-feeders despite that he has more money than God. It's interesting to watch ONCE, usually just to see how bad it is; but I would never invest in a DVD. Just download it off the 'net, watch it once, and then erase it... like I did. (Yeah, sue me). :D
Also: the reason that this got so many 5-star reviews, is that it's written by people who bought the first four seasons-- and so they're obviously fans. If you just asked people who saw it on HBO, it would get 2 stars max.
DVD Review: Great Season and Was Better On Second Viewing!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw this season, I was disappointed and compared it to other seasons in a negative way. Maybe it is the passage of time but watching the DVD set for the first time, I found many jokes I hadn't noticed before and found the show hilarious. Guess it wasn't as showy and more subtle than other seasons but not too subtle. I'm still wondering where the cell phone was located. DVD Review: One of the Best TV Shows Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Curb is basically a continuation of Seinfeld... if you love Seinfeld, you'll absolutely love Curb.
Larry David = George, and HBO gave Curb the oppertunity for longer R rated shows.
Description of Curb Your Enthusiasm - The Complete Fifth Season
Money. Security. Famous Friends. Forgiving wife. Devoted agent. Larry David has it all - except, perhaps, his identity. This season, Larry takes a sentimental journey in search of his roots, stepping on a few toes along the way.DVD Features:

Featurette
The cover art for HBO's comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Complete Fifth Season implies that the series' star Larry David is Everyman. Larry is not Everyman; in fact, he is far from it. Somewhat of an amalgam of the Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer characters he co-created for Seinfeld, yet so uniquely Larry, his socially inept behavior is the basis for and the best part of the show. This fifth season holds no exceptions to the world oblivious to social graces that is Larry David's. Larry tackles some tough issues, his main conundrum being the fact that his close friend Richard Lewis (comedian Richard Lewis playing himself) needs a new kidney. Season 5 slants towards Larry's soul searching: will he take the donor test? Is he a match? What will he do if he is a match? We see how far Larry will go to help his friend in need: staging car accidents, fake marriages, and more. We think we see some depth to Larry when he suspects he may be adopted and cheerfully embarks on a search to find his "real" parents, but are reminded how things really are, when he throws morality out the window, striking up a friendship with the known sexual predator in the neighborhood in order to improve his golf game. Of course there is the very Seinfeld feel to this show in general, the tone, the self-involved lead character--and in the first few episodes there are actual storylines and even spoken lines taken almost verbatim from Seinfeld episodes, so much so that an avid Seinfeld fan may start to lose patience. Stick with it, though, because the Seinfeld-ian similarities wind down through the second half of the season and the Curb your Enthusiasm hilarity revs up. --Rachel Moss
