Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Ersbel Oraph The guy is a professional. the timings are good. the speech is good. and that's all. everything soft. everything obvious. nothing that might offend anyone. mildly amusing at best.
classicsoncall 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.
mdancingcutie01 Seinfeld is perhaps the best comedian alive today. Here is why, his jokes are funny, he works the audience, uses body motion and lastly, his jokes are CLEAN. Too many comedians think that they are funny because they curse every other word and repeat the same joke 10 different ways.Seinfeld tells his joke, it is funny, clean and he gets the punch out the first time around.All comedians need to watch this DVD and learn from him.I recommend this to everyone. You will start laughing from the very beginning and you will not stop until the end! Enjoy
White Dolphin 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.
