DVD Reviews of Curb Your Enthusiasm - The Complete Fifth SeasonDVD Review: One of the Best TV Shows Ever Summary: 5 StarsCurb 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.
DVD Review: Disappointed Summary: 2 StarsI usually roll on the floor laughing with this show, but this season offered only a few really good laughs. His show wife,Cheryl,often reacts to Larry the way we would, but this season, she seemed bored most of the time. I don't think I'll buy the following season.
DVD Review: I am now a fan! Summary: 5 StarsI used to hate Curb Your Enthusiasm (and I was a Seinfeld hater when it was in prime time; now I love it!)After seeing "The Christ Nail" and "Kamikaze Bingo" on a flight to London, I was hooked. Brilliant comedy about nothing, and I love every minute of it.
DVD Review: Worst show ever - do NOT be fooled by the 5-star reviews! Summary: 1 StarsThis is the worst show ever produced - taking advantage of Seinfeld fans misguided loyalty, and the wrongful thought, that since this is made by Larry Davis, it has to be good... it don't!
After a couple of episodes (if you actually get this deep into it before throwing away the dvd's) you realise that the dialogue actually follows the same structure and speech patterns that Seinfeld does - only this show has no proper actors or comedians to deliver the lines.
It's stiff, slow, tries to hard but keeps on failing, annoying, embarrassing and quite frankly a disaster.
I have no idea who these guys are that gives this 5 stars, but they have to be family of Larry's.
I bought the entire series based on the stupid 5 star reviews and the fact that I too thought that 'Larry Davis, this can only be good' - but I've had to through the dvd's out without even seeing all the episodes.
Waste of time and money!!!
DVD Review: Still Has Not Arrived... Summary: 1 StarsI ordered this dvd on November 4th. Now more than a month later it has still not arrived and "the two fifty" has not responded to my inquiry. As far as the DVD itself the fifth season of Curb is one of the best.
Description of Curb Your Enthusiasm - The Complete Fifth SeasonMoney. 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: Episodic Previews 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
