Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

89% Tomatometer 18 Reviews 93% Audience Score 250+ Ratings "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David plays a version of himself on the improvised series. He faces a constant barrage of life's little annoyances, which in David's sometimes well-meaning but terminally fumbling hands don't tend to stay small for very long. Episodes frequently center on his ignorance of or disregard for well-established social conventions and expectations, as well as his insistence that others adhere to rules of which only he seems to be aware. Developed from a 1999 one-hour special on HBO that was envisioned as a one-time project, the series premiered in October 2000. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Buy Now

Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Noel Murray AV Club Curb Your Enthusiasm is a funny, scary distillation of [Larry] David's experience of the world, where nearly everything makes him angry, including his sense that he probably has no right to be angry. Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) John Carman San Francisco Chronicle It's howlingly funny, groaningly close to home and usually both. Rated: 4/4 Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Linda Stasi New York Post Don't expect situations, and don't expect an even flow-of anything but the laughs. Jun 13, 2018 Full Review Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Joyce Millman Boston Phoenix The genius of Curb is that you start every episode thinking that Larry is in the wrong, but by the end, as he's being mercilessly shredded by pompous, vindictive "good citizens," you realize that you're sympathizing and identifying with him. Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Peer Schneider IGN Movies Breaking even the biggest taboos, David is not afraid to approach even the touchiest themes, including affirmative action, molestation self-help groups, and religion. Rated: 8/10 Jun 9, 2018 Full Review Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Sierra Filucci Common Sense Media What makes the show so entertaining and hilarious is Larry's tendency to be socially inappropriate (much like Seinfeld's George Costanza) and get obsessed with tiny details, like Jerry Seinfeld's TV character. Rated: 5/5 Jul 28, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Sky H Everyone in this show is absolutely hateful except the wife and I love it. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/05/21 Full Review Audience Member Larry David's brand of comedy, that of which was so successful in Seinfeld, is in full force with Curb Your Enthusiasm, a show in which David plays an exaggerated version of himself. The hand-held camera style and improvisational dialogue gives the show a very authentic "real word" vibe. Larry is a character I think we can all relate to which is precisely what makes this show so charming. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Ed M Great show. As he proved on "Seinfeld'" Larry David only cares about comedy. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/17/20 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
