 | | One protagonist's chief talent is auto-fellatio; the other, a surgeon, accidentally removes the wrong, healthy testicle from a patient, subsequently dispatching the other, resulting in a castrato-pitched voice that leaves the man -- a TV-sitcom star -- unemployable. |
 | | And as a result, Sour Grapes becomes an interesting dyspeptic, disagreeable comedy, one that elaborates on Seinfeldian themes with an acridness undiluted (and uncontrolled) by sitcom proprieties: It's misanthropic kin to the death-by-noxious-envelope-glue retiring of George Costanza's fiancee. |
 | | Scholars will notice various recurring Davidian obsessions -- not nearly as charming in long form -- including a shrill, overbearing mother (Viola Harris) whose son's activities land her in the hospital and a neurotic fascination with the homeless, who here turn a house into a fetid sty. |
