I loved Seinfeld but I'm 20 minutes in and it feels like I've been watching for an hour.

It's obviously a hammy send-up of the corporate biopics but it's landing flat for me.

Has that Alan Smithee look to it. Massive group of famous and talented people making a massive pile of crap while patting each other on the back.
Also brings to mind Toys with all the outlandish wackiness.

Amy Schumer & Melissa McCarthy.

Really bad. Just a way for Jerry to give his friends Netflix money.

I unsubscribed from Netflix 2 months ago but does it feel like an Adam Sandler gift to Rob Schneider & David Spade and other useless leeches?

EDIT: Larry David isn't involved

He was doing the final season of Curb when this was being made.

Amy Schumer & Melissa McCarthy.

Seriously brother, how THE FUCK are these 2 women still working in Hollywood ? Who the fuck actually enjoys watching them ?
Why ?
Why are we still here, just to suffer ?

 

[AJUMP23]

Hugh grant as Tony the Tiger and the mad men cameo are the only real highlights.

 

[Dithadder]

Wow, Amy Schumer and Melissa McCarthy in one movie. It's like a perfect storm of unfunny, AND you throw in Jim Gaffigan....... then I see it is Netflix and it all makes sense.

Also check out colin quinn's new special.

 

[Jenov]

It was pretty shit, yes. Started just reading my phone halfway through

 

[ResilientBanana]

Awful movie. Reminds me of movies like Valentine’s Day. Star studded cast that don’t know how to act.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Are we gonna get a controversy like the hot Cheetos film?

No because this is a clear parody.

 

[Salz01]

This movie seemed like a 10 min skit that goes 110 mins over….

Jerry Seinfeld is a disciplined, hardworking, competent standup comic and nothing more.

 

[FeralEcho]

Every time I've seen Jerry Seinfeld in an interview or a talkshow he seems like the sort of guy who bottles his own farts just to take a whiff of them later.

I loved watching Seinfeld when I was a kid but he just seems so unfunny and pretentious in anything else I've seen him in. He just seems like an awful person.

This trailer is just more unfunny shit,this time with additional unfunny comedians...I mean Amy Schumer? Really? That's the best you could do? Lmao

 

[Wildebeest]

What is art this decade? The Kellogg's cinematic universe vs the Mattel cinematic universe?

 

[JCK75]

I love Jerry but it looks so bad.. I'm not sure what went wrong but before it even released he seemed really down on the entire experience.

 

[AJUMP23]

Jerry Seinfeld is a disciplined, hardworking, competent standup comic and nothing more.

He did have a very successful sitcom, that he wrote and produced. But many standups have done that. Tim Allen has had 2.

 

[MrMephistoX]

I havent seen the movie but this is obviously mocking the "corporate product biopic" trend that reached its climax with Barbie.

Pretty much and it’s just the kind of goofy satire that I sometimes enjoy: it’s like the Mars Attacks of corporate biopics in that regard. I must be a simpleton according to the interwebs because I really really enjoyed it.

Mars Attacks is a good comparison. It also felt a bit like the Rescue Rangers movie. I didn’t laugh out loud too often, but enjoyed all the cameos and have a bit of nostalgia for that time period even though I didn’t live through it.

 

[DanteFox]

It is very over-the-top and silly, kind of like the last two seasons of Seinfeld after Larry David left. I enjoyed the movie for what it is, but the last half of the movie gets pretty ridiculous and falls off a bit. It tells me that Jerry really got lucky by having Larry to partner with the Seinfeld. Larry really is the genius for making hilarious TV.

 

[Dithadder]

Jerry's great, Seinfeld's great, but Jerry's never going to make something uproarious or genius without someone's help.

 

[RaduN]

Hmm... i kinda liked it.

There are good jokes here and there, dumb ones as well. The direction is smooth and the actors don't break character

A silly movie overall, similar to some 7/10 silly Seinfeld episode. Worth a watch.

Stay frosty seinfeld

Thank you for making me not regret cancelling my netflix subscription.

I'm a simple man. You give me a big guy in a Chef Boyardee costume say "Uh Oh, Spaghetti-O", you'll get a chuckle out of me.

 

[Toons]

Lol, I'd say it was more likely that he knows he's got a stinker on his hands and this is an easy way to explain away the bad reviews / claim that he wasn't allowed to make the film he really wanted. Good way to get some people to turn up to watch it though.

It’s Always Sunny creator responds to Jerry Seinfeld’s ‘PC’ sitcom criticism

Seinfeld blamed ‘the extreme left [and] PC crap’ for damaging TV comedy

www.independent.co.uk

Yeah I'm inclined to agree.

One of the biggest and most successful comedians saying he can't get something made? I dont buy it.

Seinfeld can get anything he wants made.

That said im not willing to write this off get but.... I have no immediate desire to see it.

 

[jason10mm]

This was moderately funny. Lots of chuckles, not ROFL stuff but clever "good effort" level. But damn, every fucking line is a joke, it's really a matter of 1000 jokes a minute and half land. It's almost too clever for it's own good, such a weird way to view the 60's and the whole milk mafia, russian sugar, mascot union stuff gets to ludicrous level.

I do what those pin up art Jelle Jolie pics though, yowza!

Written and directed by Jerry Seinfeld.

Pop tarts?? Eww

I’ve never had Pop Tarts in my life, I wonder what it tastes like.

Lots of sugar and artificial flavors

Is it good though? I’d occasionally subject my body to possible diseases if it’s worth the risk.

Strawberry was way too sweet but the chocolate ones were alright. But Toast with Nutella is much better

A bit of a stale pastry with a warm sugary filling. It taste a lot of sugar.
