Unfrosted : L'épopée de la Pop-Tart

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?

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!

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.

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.

Maybe I built up "Unfrosted" too much, in my mind. When I heard about this movie, I got excited. And when I saw the cast, I nearly hyperventilated. But, when I finally watched it, I fell asleep.

This movie had so much potential and it had some really funny moments. But it lacked so many elements that make a great comedy movie. It needed frosting.

The look and feel of the movie was retro and bright and cool. It had a "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" vibe with a quick and witty script, snappy interactions, and a very intentional pacing. What it was missing is heart and moments that make you care about the characters. It was as if they made a script out of one of Seinfeld's bits (which they sort of did). It was like one long joke that never paused to let jokes land or slowed to build a connection with the audience. It was as if it was written by a first time director and screen writer (which is also true). This movie needs to go back to the creators and be re-written.

There are comedy and acting icons in this movie. I wish someone had stopped to ask them for their input on the scenes they were in. Or, watch season one and two of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and follow that blueprint.

"Unfrosted" felt rushed, like they had to get the plot and all of the jokes in by a certain time, but character development, chemistry, and connection with the audience wasn't a concern. There is beauty in silence and pauses between delivered lines. The audience needs time to marinate about what they have watched, from time to time.

I was also disappointed that none of the cast from "Seinfeld" had cameos. This is a movie where Jason Alexander would have shined and Julia Louis-Dreyfus makes everything better simply with her presence.

"Unfrosted" was underwhelming. Tons of potential with moments of laughter and times where it hits the target. It should be re-made, but this time add some frosting.
