Sin edulcorar

Is this the funniest movie I've ever seen? No. But it is definitely the funniest movie I've seen lately. And that's quite an accomplishment, considering I'd have no reservations about watching this with my 8 year old nephew. Of course, a lot of the humor would be over his head, but who would have thought that a movie so utterly unobjectionable could also be so funny? Kudo's to Jerry Seinfeld, because I think he's succeeded in making a live action movie with a level of comedy similar to classic cartoons. You know what I'm talking about- absurd, slapstick, yet with that bit of wry, adult humor that the kids don't get but the adults find very funny. Not to mention that this movie also probably has one of the best comedy ensemble casts of all time. Granted, it may have gotten a little too silly at a few points, but no movie is perfect. I'm really surprised to hear people hating on it so much. I went in with very low expectations based on the reviews, but I was literally laughing consistently through the whole thing. The world could use more comedy like this. Nice work Jerry!

This has a lot of funny references, it's definitely entertaining. I don't know why it's rated so low. It simply does not deserve that. The acting is great, the cast outstanding, the story is fun to follow.

The big actor names keep coming, and it certainly makes the movie! It's cute! I suppose, if you're looking for a realistic documentary on the birth of the pop tart, you'll probably be better off reading up on Kellogg's and Post but I don't think that's the intent of this movie. I watched this by myself and laughed out loud several times, I think that's a pretty good sign. Give it a try, I think you will enjoy it. Unless you're a super grumpy person.

If you think of this as an extended SNL skit,and keep that in mind while you're watching it, I think you'll really appreciate it.

It's silly but very funny in places because of it.

If you know Jerry Seinfeld's comedy you can see this is very much from his mind.

The story is simply fun but the performances of the cast, many of whom are stand-up comedians like Seinfeld, make it really watchable. I actually found it fun wondering which famous face might pop up next. When they do appear they often come with numerous historical or pop culture references. So, along with the basic silliness of what you're being told and shown it all adds up to a bowl full of happy. (No more cereal puns I promise). I originally put this film on while I was working just to have some background noise but found myself drawn to watching it properly because I was so amused but also really impressed with the visual style of the film. Apart from the beautiful aesthetics of the 60s, they managed to add to the visual appeal with the art / direction style. They convey a somewhat dreamlike or fantasy-esque appearance about what you're shown without it being too "Willy wonka". If you remember that what you're seeing is a story being told by an adult to a child, it completely works and simply looks grrrrreat. (Sorry).

Really good fun, deserves better reviews, hence why I felt compelled to write this one.

Nice one Jerry.

This a really funny film but the drawback is that the references are all so specific to the early 60's (with a few anachronisms) that a lot of younger reviewers will have their hair parted by the sheer volume of jokes going over their heads. They can however enjoy the stacked cast (loved Bill Burr as JFK) and I dare I say that it manages to redeem some actors like Amy Schumer and Melissa McCarthy who have been in the cultural doghouse for quite some time. The script is packed with all sorts of wild ideas and sometimes even gives some food for thought. What at first seemed like a silly idea for a story reminded me that that's what comedies are and the script had so much detail that I was reminded of all sorts of movies from Blake Edwards to Willy Wonka. Thanks Jerry for making an actual comedic movie - something I haven't seen in a long while.

Unfrosted mixes a bunch of comedians together in a silly story and the result is about as good as eating Pop-Tarts. It's not great, but it's enjoyable enough if you're in the right mood. If this were a short comedy sketch on Saturday Night Live it would probably be pretty popular. The humor is very on-the-nose. It's not trying to be subtle at all. You can tell that the cast probably had a great time hanging out while making the movie, and most likely made up some of the jokes on the spot. I laughed a few times but, much like eating a Pop-Tart, I felt a little let down by the experience afterwards.
