North (1994)

An American comedy adventure directed by Rob Reiner, starring Elijah Wood, Bruce Willis, Jason Alexander, Jon Lovitz, Alan Arkin, Dan Aykroyd, Kathy Bates and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
A boy is unsatisfied with his parents. He is doing well in school, but they don't care. He decides to search for new parents after talking to a mall Easter bunny. The new parents around the world are not to his tastes and everywhere he goes, the mall Easter bunny guy offers helpful advice.
This is a children's film and could be watched by kids quite contentedly. I propose another option for adults: examine the actors, their other roles and their combination. George and Elaine from Seinfeld have given birth to Frodo Baggins, who takes advice from John McClane from the Die Hard films. More fun that way, right? I thought the plot was trite and frivolous, with the main character making his decisions based on fickle and childish reasons. It also involved closed-minded, outdated and idiotic notions of other cultures. The audio and video were fine. I could hear and see everything. Overall, I really just wanted to write about my "Characters In Other Roles Theory" again. I rate this tolerable.

Seinfeld (1989 - 1998)


An American comedy sit-com by Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards and Jason Alexander.
Four Jewish friends in New York City quibble over the trifles of everyday life.
If you aren't antisemitic, watch this series. You will soon learn to stereotype Jews. The hook noses, the penny pinching, it's all here. The 4 main characters are Jews and about 99.9% of their friends and aquaintances are Jews as well. They exhibit stereotypical Jew behavior in every minute of every episode. In one of the episodes, they encounter some German Nazis, which I think is particularly ironic and more like a horror than a comedy. The entertainment value is good (especially if you think stereotypes are funny, which I do). I'm rating this good because it's worth watching and you can get a really good picture of what Jewish people are like. Sieg Heil!
