Former Seinfeld producer and co-creator Larry David continues to get into outrageous cinéma vérité misadventures as Curb Your Enthusiasm enters its second season. Things get off to a miserable start when Larry and his wife, Cheryl (Cheryl Hines), move into a luxurious seaside chateau -- which unfortunately possesses a disturbing sound. In the seasons remaining nine episodes, Larrys associate, Jeff Greene (Jeff Garlin), simultaneously breaks up with his wife and convinces all of LA that Larry has a kink obsession; another crisis involving a bracelet (not unlike the one which wended its way through season one) segues into a bitter object lesson concerning Trick or Treat; Larry suspects an HBO executive of being a shrimp thief; Larry and Richard Lewis are disillusioned by their psychiatrist; a 5000-dollar acupuncture bill sets off a chain reaction of comic disaster; Larry scalps a doll belonging to a network bigwig; he accidentally trips Shaquille ONeal during a crucial Lakers game; nearly scuttles a baptism; and alienates the staff of a Chinese restaurant. Appearing as themselves during season two of Curb Your Enthusiasm are former Seinfeld regulars Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Rob Reiner, Ed Asner, and Brad Hall. ~ All Movie Guide
