Just perfect...
Best movie ever!
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Every character was so unbelievably irritating. Only Larry David and George Costanza can do Larry David right - otherwise it's just annoying and bizarre. All the yelling, exaggerated mannerisms, and ridiculous dialogue - no one behaves like that in real life! It was just hard to get through.
Frankly, I find this movie difficult to watch every time. So many things occur that just seem to spiral down into chaos causing chaos causing chaos. The main characters, at first...you take a side...then eventually you'll realize that neither are in the right. But one does something to the other, which is unspeakably terrible...and receives the same in turn. Eventually when it's all over, something ultimately terrible happens. Suspense is not only something that relates to a horror film, in my opinion...upon seeing this film. The director perfected it to an almost migraine inducing level. If you are patient, this movie is fantastic. If you're not, and you simply can't stand it...well perhaps this isn't for you.
I actually thought it was kinda funny. It was certainly entertaining, and it was very Larry David, perhaps too much? I found that the main problem with the film was the awful casting, except for Orlando Jones. I honestly think this would have made a better film with a different cast and crew. The writing is good, it has the suspense and the story progress of a feature length movie, and it's entertaining. But I found myself imagining the cast of Seinfeld all the way, which was disturbing. They should have made a bigger effort of making it differ further from Seinfeld, but then I guess it wouldn't been made in the first place. This film was after all made at the peak of Seinfeld's success. What could have been a decent film ends up as a spin-off, but entertaining enough. The Friends-spoof is all worth it though!
I did like the movie because it is filled to the brim with funny complications. When I explained what I had seen to a friend, we were laughing at every detail. And that means a lot because I am not even a good story teller. I think I remember all the pranks but if I didn't, then at least enough to convince my friend to try and see the movie himself.
