This is an episode that a lot of people seem to love, but I am not really sure why. Now, every episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm is always going to have some high points, but this was a low point for the show in this reviewer's eyes.

What is with Rob Reiner just making weird cameos and whatnot? He does not really try to contribute anything to comedies, he just wants to push his directorial projects and charities and whatnot.

The ending was pretty good though. Even someone who is not a fan of Curb had to laugh at Larry getting punched by a girl.moreless
