I can't believe it

Larry David co-wrote the script for those who didn't know the co-creator of Seinfeld who created a movie called Sour Grapes which didn't do well. Most people blamed the music, they said get randy newman or mark mothersbaugh. He must have listened because he loves music and people don't like it again. This movie was the best and so was Sour Grapes, Christopher Walken made me laugh every time.

Larry David didn't co-write it, he's just the exec producer.

i heard he revised the story by many websites but I'm sure contributed ideas

Larry David might or might not have had direct contributions regarding the script. Larry and Steve met each other on the set of Fridays where they acted and wrote respectively. Larry helped pitch the script to the studio, as a favour to Steve who was a nervous wreck in such meetings.
Steve told us so in a seminar he held in my screenwriting class.

I read that in the Curb Your Enthusiasm book, recently. He also stated it was "Dreadful"
