Fans discuss Michael Richards' upcoming film Trial & Error, expressing concern about typecasting after his long run as Kramer despite his history of similar comedic roles predating Seinfeld.

I went to the movies this past weekend and saw a trailer for a new movie called Trial & Error, starring Michael Richards. It looks kinda funny, but it seems like it is just Kramer in a movie(even though he isnt exactly Kramer in the movie, the trailer has scenes where he is doing prat falls, and wheres clothes like Kramer). I don't know if this is good or bad. Anyone seen this or have any opinions on this?

It looks pretty funny, although Richards might want to watch out for typecasting; after eight years of Seinfeld, it'll be hard enough for him to find non-Kramer roles. That's not our problem though.

One question though. What's with all these lawyer comedies? I saw the "Trial and Error" trailer while at the theater to see "Liar Liar." Is this a new genre or something?

Michael Richards was in a sweet movie awhile back with, I think, Andie McDowell...he was no Kramer character in that one. He got rave reviews, but I never saw this movie. Does anyone remember the name of it? I would like to rent it if it ever went to video.

it's on one of the premium channels now, but, I , too, can't remember the title my wife said he IS very Kramer-like

"Push the Button, Frank."

Yeah, Unstrung Heroes, it is pretty sad at times but Richards and the other uncle are hilarious. Everyone should rent this, because of M. Richards obviousally but also because of John Turturo and the dreamy Andie McDowell.

reviews,

There was a movie on TV a while ago, I don't know if Andie Macdowell was in it or not but Julia Louis Dreyfus was in it. Michael Richards came with his wife on a trip to the UK and Julia was supposed to meet her newlywed husband there or something. Anyway, I don't know if this is the movie, it was fairly recent. Even if this isn't the movie in question, could some one tell me what it's called?

Yes, it also had Kelsey Grammar(sp?) of Frasier fame

That was "London Suite," quite possibly the most rotten Neil Simon play/movie ever written.

Steve Writes:

That movie was called "Unstrung Heroes". It also starred John Turturro and another character who's name I now forget.

It was very good, but it was a bittersweet drama, not a comedy (be warned).

Thanks, Steve

THE MOVIE YOU'RE SPEAKING OF IS "UNSTRUNG HEROES"

Unstrung Heros

Michael Richards always does goofy guys who do lots of pratfalls. He was doing such guys long before Seinfeld, most notably in the film _Buckaroo Banzai_ (which came out in 1984 or so) and the sketch comedy series _Fridays_ (which was just like _Saturday Night Live_, only it was on ABC instead of NBC, it was on Friday nights instead of Saturdays, and it relied on cliched drug jokes instead of cliched pop-culture parodies.)

For that matter, Julia Louis Dreyfuss played Elaine types long before she was doing Elaine, and Jason Alexander has played George types outside the context of _Seinfeld_.
