The only thing wrong with The Comeback is that it came out a few years ahead of its time.
Lisa Kudrow is pure genius. She finds a way to turn the contemptible into the endearing and feel for a character despite how deeply she's flawed.
The show came out in 2005 just before the reality television industry truly spun out of control and those in the industry were probably less than amused by HBO's dead on parody of their pathetic, narcissistic excuses for entertainment.
The Comeback is so good that it hurts.
GOD I wish this show had gotten more than one season! If HBO had had the balls to stay behind it, it would go down in history with Larry Sanders as one of the greatest shows ever made about the entertainment industry.

The one good thing about this movie is that it made me really glad that I've never read the book. This movie was corny and contrived and reminded me why I always wait for movies to come out on DVD. I was bored out of my mind. And Tom Hanks??? TOTAL HORSEFACE.
The story was choppy and childish. If this secret has been hidden for thousands of years by some of the most brilliant people in history, why were they hidden by something comparable to a third-grader's scavenger hunt?
The whole thing was very lame and disjointed. AND I totally resent that this movie AND book were so popular taking into account that this story is NOT something that's original OR new.
