Sin edulcorar

Amazing actors could not have been butchered worst! Unfrosted is without a doubt among worst movies I've seen this year. It's supposed to be a comedy but draws no laughs. The premise is silly, which s ok, but the writing is as lousy as it gets. The target audience s missed completely: it's supposed to be a family movie yet falls flat both with adults and kids. Watched it with my nephews and here' what 6 and 8 year olds said: "ewww gross" (kids eating out of garbage scene), "that's dangerous" (guy putting a metal object into a toaster). Guess kids summoned it up well: ewww gross, that's dangerous.

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.

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!

I thought "Seinfeld" was incredibly funny and so it probably isn't surprising that I thought this was funny as well.

It is a comedy but you need to suspend disbelief, eh?

I had a couple of laugh out loud moments and for most of the movie I sat there and smiled.

That's saying a lot for me as I have a hard life. I don't watch a lot of comedies because they hurt rather than make me laugh.

But a friend recommended this and I'm glad she did. Despite the fact that Jerry has gotten some bad press recently, I found watching him in this was great.

I loved that Hugh Grant is in it, and Christian Slater. The fact that they have a scene together is a bonus.

There's some really great political humor here (Hugh Grant near the end wearing a costume like the Doofus in the horns who stormed the Capitol on January 6). That for me was a laugh out loud moment. I was just so happy Hugh was able to pull this off. And then after the joke about stopping at Woolworths to get the horns... haha.

This is silly and goofy and as I said, you need to just suspend disbelief. Kind of like Jerry's "Seinfeld" series, right?

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.
