synopsis
An inside view of the post-Seinfeld life of Jerry Seinfeld. Neither a concert film, nor a biographical documentary, the film examines the birth of a comedy act and offers a window into the details of backstage life and the challenge of making people laugh. Seinfeld is revealed in ways no one has seen before: struggling with difficult material; confronting self-doubt; accepting the help of friends and colleagues, simply as another comedian trying to put together an act. On stage, Seinfeld talks about marriage, recalls his time as the country’s most eligible bachelor and offers new perspectives on the observations of the every day. But it is off-stage--where he shares the struggle with other comics including Colin Quinn, Chris Rock, Gary Shandling and Jay Leno--that a more personal, alternately funny and surprising, portrait emerges.

You might not think there's much to a documentary that follows Jerry Seinfeld around the country's comedy clubs while he develops new material for his stand-up act. You'd be wrong. It's funny as hell, and like all comedy that stings, sorrowful at its core.

Director Christian Charles and producer Gary Streiner (with two digital cameras) parallel Seinfeld's quest with the rise of young comic Orny Adams, who seems on the verge of a breakdown. The result is an indispensable peek at the art and the… Continued
