Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Karin I do watch Curb Your Enthusiasm and think it's a funny but crazy show. When I found this movie on HBO I just read the plot, I didn't read any reviews. If I had done that I might have understood that this is a movie very much featuring Larry Davids mind and ideas. It is like a long episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm with a similar kind of plot. It's a movie about a very "special" person that always feels the need to say everything he thinks out loud and that always feels neglected. Just like Larry in Curb Your Enthusiasm. It is a funny movie but I think some may think it's a bit too much like Curb Your Enthusiasm. It even has the same kind of music. The movie is entertaining but quirky!

Ian Mitchell How does Larry David come up with this (add Michael Keaton ) expletive here. It's an amazing format of comedy as it is clear ly a tragedy. Larry really nips the yammering in the bud, with his no beating around the bush, aggressive, straight to the point, sense of insatiable entitled genius. This screenplay could easily adapted for a off Broadway hit, and is definitely a generational gap closer as it touches on so many environmental and social economic topics. Clear History is by far Kate Hudson 's best role ever, Larry David nailed her character on the head. The script was impeccable, not gonna sugar coat it; this flick was pretty,pretty awesome.

maybakmusic This is a 90 minute HBO movie starring some great comedic actors. Yes it is worth watching, but it is basically the same thing as a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode. If that sounds good to you, then watch it.Danny McBride and Larry David was promising. Their shared screen-time was kind of basic though, nothing to extreme in either comedians style. This movie did have some funny parts, and good old Larry David is always funny. But, this movie doesn't deserve a 10 because, just like in Curb, things go a little TOO wrong for Larry. I know that part of the joke is that things kind of blow up in his face, but I just feel like it goes too far. It ends up being saddening and disappointing. I really wish Larry David would be in more stories where he can be funny throughout those backfiring moments, but still find some happiness somewhere. That was partially why George Castanza was cool. He DID get a high score on a Frogger machine. And he DID get laid, before his parents found his condom wrappers. If every thing was just all negative, then there wouldn't have been enough lightheartedness to carry the viewer to the next scene. This idea was my only bone to pick with Curb, and it ended up being the same issue here. Because this was an HBO movie, it deserves some leeway. so 8 out of 10

airfoyle Not everyone is a raving fan of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." The show is often like watching a root- canal procedure as Larry David's character plunges himself into one unnecessary, painfully embarrassing situation after another. There's some of that in "Clear History," but the character has mellowed. You can understand why people like Rolly, the name of the hard-luck case Larry David plays here. He's irascible, but then the other people in his little community are just as irascible and just as quirky; he fits in well. "Clear History" is a farce, a word that I wouldn't exactly apply to "Curb." It's a sequence of disasters based on carefully timed misunderstandings. The scene where Rolly is on the way to stop one such disaster when he has to pause when he encounters two friends who have just been in a motorcycle accident is priceless. He tell the two friends that he just doesn't have time to help them; the two friends are incredulous and angry, but he's actually right! If you were in his situation, you wouldn't help them and you wouldn't be able to explain either. The crush Rolly develops on Kate Hudson's character is also believable and funny, especially the way it (of course) comes crashing down around him.The cast is terrific. Watch for Liev Schreiber in an uncredited role.
