Sour Grapes

About This Movie

Larry David's 'Sour Grapes' is a curious blend of comedy and familial strife, anchored by a premise that feels almost like a dark twist on classic cousin rivalry. The pacing is often erratic, but in the hands of David, it works to heighten that uncomfortable tension between the characters. The film's atmosphere is a mix of glitzy Atlantic City with a distinct undercurrent of betrayal and resentment. As the cousins navigate the fallout of sudden wealth, the performances, particularly those from David himself and his co-star, bring out the awkwardness and absurdity of the situation. It's not just about the money, but rather the unraveling of trust and the dynamics of family ties, making it distinctive in the realm of late '90s comedies.
