Jerry Seinfeld: I'm Telling You for the Last Time (1998)

Boring

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

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The 'Seinfeld' TV show is over and Jerry is retiring his comic routines. Celebrities of the era join Jerry at a funeral service where they've gathered to bury his bits. Jerry must have had quite a pull with his fellow comedians because we see top flight names like George Carlin, Jay Leno, Alan King, Garry Shandling and a few others either grieving or attempting to grab a few recorded jokes out of the coffin. It was a clever way to open the show, right after a kid on the street in New York City begged Jerry to do his routine one more time.Jerry's stand up is just like his TV show, it's a lot of funny stuff about nothing in particular, just observations of everyday life that border on the hilarious. He even reveals the big secret of what men think about - 'Nothing'. Among other things, Jerry riffs on airports, old folks retiring in Florida, Halloween and CANDY!, supermarket shopping, doctor visits, Silver Medal winners and horse races. The segments flow quite naturally from one to the next, and he augments his observations with body language and activity across the stage which only makes his bits funnier. The guy really is a comic genius and even if you're not a fan per se, I think you'd get a kick out of at least parts of his routine. His humor is timeless, and even though this show is twenty years old as I write this, I have no doubt that you could watch it at any time and be amused by Jerry Seinfeld's brand of humor.

For those of you who have not been able to see Jerry live this is a must-see! His comedic timing and his knack to notice little quirks most normal people don't pick up on, make this a performance of a lifetime!

The man really is a comic genius. I first heard his monologue on CD, and that was side-splitting enough. When I saw the videotape, though- his actions and facial expressions make it twice as funny. Case in point: the airline sequence, where he can add another scene because he can use physical comedy. Also in his scuba-diving sequence, or any part where he "dances". He can make a long, hilarious comedy sketch out of, well, nothing. He is the King of Nothing- and that's the best thing he could be. 10 out of 10!

Jerry Seinfeld is one of the funniest stand up comedians out there today. Sure he may not be a saint (buying a whole building just for his cars)- but we do need to cut him some slack as he provided millions of people with millions of laughs for a long time. I saw "I'm Telling You For The Last Time" before I actually got into the series itself (I was young when it first aired and so now I am feasting off reruns). The fact that I had not seen nearly every Seinfeld episode (which now I have see most of) made this bit of stand up even funnier as I had never heard most jokes before. But still, It aired again a little while later and even though it was my second time seeing it, it was still very funny. Definitely recommended to all Seinfeld fans and I believe that many others will also be entertained. If you liked this and the Seinfeld series I would also recommend Jerry Seinfeld's book "SeinLanguage". Of course it's much funnier when you can can see and hear him tell the jokes and so if this ever comes on TV again you can bet I'll be taping it.
