This documentary covers Jerry Seinfeld's process of developing a new extended stand-up comedy routine. We see Jerry back in the comedy clubs of major cities where it all started for him years ago. What's refreshing about Mr. Seinfeld is how, even after all the success and the money, he comes across as a very likable down to earth guy. Jerry Seinfeld is arguably the best comedian working today and this documentary gives the viewer a rare entree into how this man creates his comedy. Unfortunately the documentary also showcases another comedian, Orny Adams who comes off as abrasive and not nearly as funny as Mr. Seinfeld. The marketing for this documentary is misleading in that it leads the viewer into believing that the documentary is going to be strictly about Mr. Seinfeld, which it is not, much to the film's detriment. Still it's a well done and rare chance to see behind the iron curtain of a comedy club in general and to see an intimate view of Mr. Seinfeld in particular (just fast forward through the other comedian's part)!
