This isn’t a real movie. It doesn’t arc. It isn’t really important. And if you don’t come to it with a background knowledge of who the key people are (Jerry Seinfeld, Collin Quinn) then it is totally meaningless. But if you do know, and you have an interest in the mechanics of show business (not of the E! Network variety, but of the Variety variety) you will find a handful of very compelling and insightful moments. One thing that struck me — this movie isn’t funny. Something about seeing the comedy made from the inside out renders it completely unfunny. Also — the coolest closing credits sequence I’ve seen in a long time.
