Larry David Got Revenge on Roger Ebert in ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’
The Big Picture Some of the best parts of Curb Your Enthusiasm involve Larry David losing his mind over some offense committed against him. He's incapable of letting anything go. For example, much of Season 10 involved Larry exacting revenge on a coffee shop owner. When Larry is banned from a coffee shop, he opens a spite store next door called Latte Larry's to get back at him.
In 1998, however, as Seinfeld was coming to its end as the biggest and best show on television, Larry David tried something new by writing and directing a feature film called Sour Grapes. Starring Steven Weber and Craig Bierko, Sour Grapes is nothing at all like Seinfeld. That could have been a good thing, with David expanding his sights to something different, if only that something different had resulted in something good.
Larry David Injures a Critic on 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' Even Larry David himself knew the movie sucked, with him making fun of Sour Grapes a few times on Curb Your Enthusiasm. While David might have been able to acknowledge his failures, that doesn't mean he was going to let the world's most famous film critic get away scot-free with saying such harsh things about his film. As Larry David is known to do, he sought revenge.
Larry is told to apologize to Portico so he doesn't give the restaurant a bad review. Larry shows up at his office where both of Portico's hands are wrapped in casts. The food critic tells him he won't be able to review the restaurant. Larry looks relieved, then tells Portico about firing the lying bald chef. Portico seems like a nice guy, recommending another chef Larry should hire, but then he goes off on an assistant, cursing them for bringing him food he can't feed himself.
