Review of Sour Grapes (1950) by John M — 11 Jul 2014
Seinfeld's co-creator, Larry David, writes and directs a comedy that pits two cousins into a delicate situation when one wins a jackpot at a casino with quarters borrowed from the other and feels he does not need to split the money.
David's script is sharp, and as would be expected, produces situations that are amusingly awkward, but where David's comedy works best in Jerry Seinfeld's sitcom, largely due to the sitcom's cast chemistry and the level of energy they put into their performances, Sour Grape's Steven Weber and Craig Bierko are comparatively deflated, merely acting passably.
