Members Reviews:

Moderately interesting, but no outstanding moments

I'm a huge fan of the HBO Series, "Curb Your Enthusiasm", so i was excited to find out more about two of the stars, Jeff Garlin and Susie Essman. The interview was moderately interesting. I did enjoy learning more about how the show is scripted (or, rather, NOT scripted), and I liked the story that they told about one particularly funny scene in the show. Overall, though, the interview was rather humdrum. Don't expect much, and you won't be disappointed.
