    I cannot for the life of me understand why Seinfeld is so respected. The movie starts out well and by a half hour in gets just increasingly stupider.

    I saw the trailer and thought they were spoofing a really awful movie trailer. Apparently not.

    I was only joking

      I'm thinking legal weed had something to do with the writing.

        That's what happens when you legalize things. In the 60's they got Abbey Road and Electric Ladyland. Now it's this shite.

            The reviews are pretty similar to Mik’s reaction.

              I've never been able to figure out Jerry Seinfeld. I really liked some of his sitcom (although there were way too many episodes), and I really enjoyed Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Admittedly I've only seen a bit of his stand-up but I didn't find it funny at all. From his recent interviews you'd think we was a really edgy comedian speaking truth to power or something, but he just struck me as bland and boring.

                The enormous success of the sitcom created an unassailable ego where he thinks he's way more talented than he actually is. History has established pretty convincingly that Larry David was the primary creative genius behind Seinfeld the sitcom.

                Education is extremely important.

                  Seinfeld had a style and a purpose, even if it was about nothing. It wasn't. This movie had no sense of restraint whatsoever. Contrast makes comedy funny.

                    Just watched the trailer. The cast is incredible. The story looks dumb... but Bill Burr as JFK makes me want to watch.

                      Presumably it's a long series of cameos? That can be funny, but there's a danger of it being one long celebrity in-joke.

                        I quite like the show "Seinfeld". It is very funny to me.

                            I don't watch a lot of Netflix comedy, but this is worth watching.

                              The resident 17 year old had his mother, the dog and me watch it on a couple weeks back. Total mindlessness with a a couple of honestly chuckle worthy lines. The whole cinematic farce is a poorly scripted and staged rip off of The Right Stuff.

                              Teenager loved it because Jerry Seinfeld was at the centre. Parents could not wait for it to end. Dog slept through it.
