Robert Lloyd San Jose Mercury News I laughed a lot during "Jerry Before Seinfeld." Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Ashley Hoffman TIME Magazine There might not be any earth-shattering revelations about his rise to fame, but there's still enough to excite a comedy super-fan's interest. Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Dennis Perkins AV Club Seinfeld works the cramped stage of his old haunt with not only the effortless and inevitable confidence of the old pro and cultural touchstone he is, but with an enthusiasm belying any hint of obligation. Rated: B Jul 11, 2019 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Here is a comic performance that's from the ages, and for the ages. It doesn't get any better than this. Rated: 5/5 Jul 10, 2019 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Jerry Seinfeld is as funny and observant as ever in Jerry Before Seinfeld. Jul 10, 2019 Full Review Sean L. McCarthy Decider But repackaged with a new narrative, those same jokes can hold up some 40 years later. Inside The Comic Strip, Jerry Seinfeld can be cool once more.

Audience Member Great shows never seen the movies before Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/01/22 Full Review Audience Member Watched this on Netflix and it has a lot of unfunny moments, but the hilarious ones more than make up for it. It's part autobiography, part stand up. Footage from Jerry's childhood and some shots around New York City are interspersed with his comedy show at the first club he ever performed in. He does his very first joke (which is hilarious) and the second one (which isn't as funny), and some that I was familiar with. Most of them made me laugh. I'm not as big of a Seinfeld fan as I was back in the early 90's but I did enjoy this show and I really needed to laugh. I think we all do. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Part stand up, part autobiography. This is a hilarious movie. I don't really think he's as funny as he used to be, but most of the stuff in this show made me laugh out loud. A lot of it I had heard before but it was fun to hear the stuff again. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I give it 2 stars cause I laughed the entire time about how bad it was. I think it's an age thing because I'm younger. "you TAKE an uber.." My friends and I still sarcastically yell that. SO BAD Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review gerald h simple stuff for simple people = success in the u.s. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member He Is A One Of A Kind Comedian That Has Such A Classic Style, Which Is Disappearing On Stage As The Years Go On. Jerry Gives New Insight, Shares Some Rare Intimate Stories & Reflects On How Serendipity Begun His Now Infamous Name. I Really Enjoy His Humor & This, Along With Everything Else He Has Done, Is No Exception, He Simply Rises To An Occasion With Incredible Wit. I Love What He Does. A Very Funny Man. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
