The movie is mostly following Jerry Seinfeld and Orny Adams (Orny was the worst choice to put in the movie because you hate his guts) as they try to rise in the ranks of stardom. THe documentary is laborious and much less funny then their stand up. It cool to hear quips from all their funny celebrity friends but that's the extent of the enjoyment. Also for a documentary with such huge names in it, you think you would get better film quality. THe Blair Witch Project was shot better then this. If your interested in seeing stand up or a good documentary, rent something else.

still holds up as a great inside look into the neurotic life of a comedian. Orny makes a good semi-villain but basically disappears eventually.

Orny Adams offers a sort of polar opposite of Seinfeld, who envies and craves his fame but lacks his love and passion for comedy.

I will agree that Orny Adams is a bit on the whiny side here - and that does take a way from the film a little. O...

I will agree that Orny Adams is a bit on the whiny side here - and that does take a way from the film a little. Otherwise, it was interesting to see.

A behind-the-scenes look at the comedy world, as we watch Jerry Seinfeld start from scratch with a brand new comedy routine. It's even more interesting how not funny the whole process is.

A good look at how a stand-up comedian attempting to make it big and also Jerry Seinfeld's working his way back into the circuit.
