Product Description:
SEE LARRY PLAY BINGO WITH THE ELDERLY, TREAT SOME NEW FRIENDS TO A SKI TRIP, INVITE A STRANGER TO SEDER, DONATE MONEY TO A KOREAN CHUM, VISIT A SICK MAN IN THE HOSPITAL, TAKE AN INTEREST IN OTHER FAITHS & DISCOVER HIS FAMILY ROOTS. IS THIS THE DAWN OF A NEW LARRY DAIVD...OR IS IT JUST THE END?

Amazon.com:
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

Customer Reviews

Lives Up to the Very High Standard 5 out of 5 stars
Larry David never ceases to amaze. The Ski Lift episode, with Larry throwing off mumbles intended to sound like Hebrew, is totally hilarious. He rules.
