...it was quite a disappointing movie. The first thing that stands about this movie is that Michael Richards isn't even in it...at all...much less a second identical character also played by Michael Richards who faces off against him. In fact, there were barely any appearances by the Seinfeld cast at all.
Okay, well that's fine. Kramer doesn't always have to be played by Michael Richards. Let's let somebody else have a turn. Right? Well, apparently not. So there I was sitting there waiting for Kramer to finally make his appearance, when suddenly during a dialogue scene I hear this lady's last name mentioned...and it's Kramer. What the fuck?
So I think to myself...no big deal. She must be the sister or something of Cosmo Kramer. They're building to it. That's what movies do. Well that's when I got disappointed even harder. Apparently the other Kramer isn't even Cosmo Kramer at all. It's her husband. And he's played by Dustin Hoffman, who obviously wouldn't have been a bad choice for Cosmo Kramer, but oh well I guess.
Turns out, this entire movie was about a child custody battle. And as funny as a premise as that could have been, there were like ZERO funny parts. How could the guy who played the main character in Rainman, one of the most hilarious movies of all time, be so unfunny in a movie about Seinfeld's next door neighbor? He didn't even trip while walking up the isles in the court room. He just cried about his son. I don't know, maybe I just don't get it?
