A Major Disappointment

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

I looked forward to this movie having watched every episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm and never laughed more. So when I knew he was essentially playing the same character I was optimistic. What a let down, he should have played it as a different character because what makes Larry David funny in CYE is that he is comfortable in the world of wealth and leisure where things annoy him. He has an air of authority which is continually undermined by his need to confront. The cast around him are excellent. As a poor man in Marthas Vineyard he has no credibility, you feel he wouldn't be tolerated as Larry David because he has no kudos, no Seinfeld behind him. The people around him are bland except for the fantastic J.B.Smoove maybe he should have included more of the original cast. It just didn't work for me even though I wanted it to. I'm still waiting for Season 9 of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

"Clear History" turned out to be somewhat better than I had anticipated it would be. And what worked out in the movie was the subtle humor and the odd characters.It was a rather nice assembly of talents that they had managed to muster together for this particular movie. And people were doing good parts with their given roles and characters, just a shame that Michael Keaton and Bill Hader weren't given more time on the screen, because their characters really had potential for something funny.While "Clear History" isn't the kind of comedy that will have you laying flat from laughing, then the comedy and humor in the movie was well placed and worked out nicely. Of course, this particular kind of humor might not be suitable for just anyone. But hey, I enjoyed it.The storyline was good and it had a constant well-paced progression to it, and it was the kind of storyline that you got immersed in and wanted to know more about what was going on."Clear History" is good entertainment for a single evenings worth of watching something on the lighter side of entertainment.

I was initially upset when I heard that Larry David was going to skip another season of Curb Your Enthusiasm to do a made-for-TV move. Well, Clear History is that movie. And it's great. David's decision to take himself and much of his cast out of the familiar Curb Your Enthusiasm environment, and place them into a parody of one of Ayn Rand's best known and most controversial novels, was an excellent one.The casting of this movie is terrific, and each member of the cast has moments of brilliance. For example, check out Kate Hudson's reaction when Larry David kisses her, or Michael Keaton's just-a-slight-hint-of-Beetlejuice performance as a mad bomber. And, of course, J.B. Smoove joins the cast as ... well, I don't know exactly why he's there, except that he continues to demonstrate that he is far and away David's best, most creative improv partner. I'm no actor, but it looks like it takes a special talent to ad lib, particularly through a Larry David comedy. And David has assembled an exceptionally talented group of actors who can roll with his punches and make it look easy and fun to watch.Most of the Ayn Rand parodies I've seen have been ham-fisted and humorless, but Clear History's parody is light, intelligent and entertaining. The idea of Larry David as a comic version of The Fountainhead's Howard Roark really pays off. The parallels between The Fountainhead and Clear History are woven smartly throughout the plot -- and they're humorous. (For those familiar with the book: Think of Jon Hamm and Kate Hudson as Peter Keating and Dominique Francon, when you're watching the movie. Oh, come on: I know Ayn Rand wouldn't approve, but...it's funny!) Whether Larry David's develops season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, another made-for-TV movie, or some other project, I'll be eagerly awaiting his next move.

"You can't name a car Howard!" Nathan (David) is an ad executive who is the best at what he does. After getting into a fight over what to name a new model of car with his boss Will (Hamm) he quits. When the car hits big and makes everyone involved with it very very rich Nathan moves and changes his name. Ten years later, he is content and happy with his new life in Martha's Vinyard. When Will moves to the Vinyard Nathan begins to think of ways to get him to leave. His best idea is to blow up his house. First and foremost this movie is hilarious. But like I have said before I have a specific style of humor that I love. The humor in this one is very Seinfeld like, which makes sense since 4 of the 4 writers wrote for Seinfeld. There are long tirades and running jokes about which car should back up on a one lane road, the placement of electrical outlets and the band Chicago. I laughed a lot throughout. Overall, if you like Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm you will love this movie. I highly recommend this. I give it an A.
