Plot:
An inside view of the post-Seinfeld life of Jerry Seinfeld. Neither a concert film, nor a biographical documentary, film examines the birth of a comedy act and offers a window into the details of back...( read more

surprisingly good. highly recommended for any stage-performer. seinfeld's humility and work-ethic are quite professional and admirable.
Most of this is really just comedians complaining about how hard their jobs are with the occasional interview clip from Jerry Seinfeld. While it provides an interesting portrait of the field with an occaisionally funny piece of stand-up, overall its kind of hard to recommend based on the tone of the entire movie.
The trailer for this movie is, without question, the funniest movie trailer ever. Unfortunately, the movie and the trailer really have nothing to do with each other.
This is a documentary about two comedians, Jerry Seinfeld and Orny Adams. Everybody has heard of Jerry but not Orny Adams. I was frustrated by how much of the film was focused on Orny. I think he is mildly funny, and I guess his unknownness is a good contrast to Jerry's mastery, but his attitude toward himself and the stand-up comedy medium was a major turnoff. He was constantly berating himself that he wasn't happy and not good enough, and all he can think about is getting to Hollywood. He had no passion for stand-up but to me it seemed like it was just a tool to get rich. Jerry on the other hand, may have used it as a tool to get rich before he had Seinfeld, and now that he is rich he has gone back to stand-up with all new material. I guess this film was released a couple of years ago, and I don't know exactly how many gigs he has done since Seinfeld, but in this documentary makes the viewer believe that he is going back to stand-up to try to find some kind of ultimate truth that has eluded him on the stage. Another thing that drives his return is the process of doing stand-up and putting yourself out there in front of the public judgments (even though I think he gets off a little easy because of his notoriety).
Probably the biggest waste of 80 minutes ever. Seinfeld is funny, but The other focus of the movie; Orny Adams, is WAY too cocky. This basically makes all comedians seem like dicks. Honestly, the one that seemed the nicest is Chris Rock. Seriously, Chris Rock? Ridiculous. 80 minutes of shit that you're probably not gonna care about, assuming you're not gonna be a standup comedian. If you are, you're probably a dick.
