If you make the mistake of wearing the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia going into this ridiculously-wealthy-older-comedian-guilts-all-his-friends-into-crappy-cameo-roles-in-an-ego-driven-zeal-to-be-relevant-while-his-reputation-sinks-like-the-Titanic fiasco, I assure you your lenses will not only crack, they'll be run over and flattened as if by an angry New York cab driver trying to escape MAGA freaks at a Trump rally in Times Square.

Seinfeld is arguably one of the most loved of the nineties comedians, and his show certainly deserves its place in the lexicon of greatest sitcoms in modern American television. That said, what worked about it was that he played a kind of plausible urban everyman that much of middle America could relate to, even if it was a well crafted myth.

Now that he has been obscenely wealthy and privileged for longer than most of his potential audience has been alive, his comedy is a stale rehash of a time long past that no-one today can plausibly relate to.

With student apartment rents in Manhattan at record highs, ($300 a month for a studio walk-up in the derelict East Village where I lived in the 80's is now considered "affordable" at $3,000 in the 24s), the world Jerry lives in is so rarefied and out of touch, he seems like the annoying great grampa lecturing the grandkids on the good ol' days.

Other than being a Master class in WHAT NOT TO DO in a comedy, this sinking ship is not worth bringing your life raft to. If I could give it zero stars I would, but then I wouldn't be giving credit to the game stars that worked hard to keep this afloat. Your call, but I say nah...

I had a blast! Such a fun project, with great cast and so much fun to meet the director-lead actress-producer and her wonderful husband at the Santa Fe premiere!

Learned so much about the hard work and thinking outside of the box that these talented folks are doing to create a truly independent film business model, and the updates from the road are priceless!!!!!!!

Support your local joyful vampire and buy or rent this hilarious movie!!!!!!

I am going out on a limb to even give this one star. It was momentarily promising in that James and Seth have a natural on screen chemistry, but it rapidly unraveled into a schizophrenic mish-mash of the worst, most self-indulgent, cartoonish all star cast cameos and a joke free storyline that would make anyone in their right mind blush to even have submitted, much less brought to final script approval stage. If I had to sum it up, it would be like being on bad acid while being chained in solitary confinement as every yelling scene from every Three Stooges movie played for almost two hours before your eyes. (Oh my god the yelling - it never stopped!) This should never have been financed, and it makes me almost believe the rumor that the whole Sony hacking story is just a cynical PR ploy by desperate executives to try and recoup some of their losses ($44M + $50M Marketing) on what they surely must now realize was one of the worst investment mistakes in recent memory. If you want to go just to hate on this, then by all means pay out. But I personally want to bleach my memories of this permanently from my brain, in case these two stars might one day redeem themselves and actually do something I want to see. A terrible, horrible, no good, very bad experience!
