Unfrosted

This is like a movie made to include all the banter in the writers' room for a sitcom. Like, "Hey, what if the Seinfeld character gets out of his car and he's rolling it barefoot like Fred Flintstone's car," one writer would say, and another writer would say, "and he's got a big rock in the back for a brake like an anchor." And the room chuckles and instead of just moving on, they put it in the show. The cameos of actors and comics are fun. The old brand names are cool, except no one under 60 will understand many of them. It's silly, cartoonish, and basically pointless. See it as a lark that got produced because Seinfeld is Seinfeld. Throw your critical standards to the wind and guess who's playing the Walter Cronkite character.

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.

This feels like that Dick Turpin series on Apple TV: proof that no matter how talented the cast of comedians, if the script ain't funny, it ain't funny. It starts off like a weird but charming mix of Willy Wonka and Airplane, but then descends into a big budget car crash.

I imagine Jerry Seinfeld went to Netflix and said "I'd like to make a film about my love of cereal and I can get my mates to act in it" and at no point during production did anyone tell him that maybe it's not working.

It does have a couple of funny bits but outstays it's welcome by 90 mins. Enough here to fill a wacky sketch. But when 30 mins of jokes rely on them misnaming Pop Tarts "Trat Pop", you know you're in trouble. Avoid.

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.

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?
