Why does film feel like that bit in the Simpsons when Krusty the Clown tries to do stand up again? When he breaks out the old stereotype impressions and makes a TV dinner joke, only for a couple modern comedians watching to quip sarcastically "Take that, Stoffers." Like, this movie might have been hilarious five or ten years ago and Seinfeld dusting it off was his attempt to stay relevant and prove he "still had it" when he clearly just...doesn't anymore.

"When it comes to streaming"... It's a Netflix movie.

The Seinfeld show had Larry David.

No joke, your review is the first thing I have ever seen of this movie. I haven't seen any marketing of this thing considering the names involved.

It sounds like it gets a lot of the same criticism as The Phantom Menace. The writer/director had practically unlimited resources, and nobody was willing to tell him "no".

I feel like I saw Jerry Seinfeld doing some sort of masterclass-style thing writing a routine about pop tarts years ago. And on the show wasn't there a comically bad comedian whose routines were about 'anything that dissolves in milk?'

4:39 The Food That Built America, and The Games That Built America, are *great* background noise. My favorite example of “community theaterism” in those shows was when they cast some 19-year old to play one of the real Parker Brothers in the scene where they Invent The Thing as young men, which makes sense for that specific moment in time, but then the majority of the episode has the same teenager as an old man running the company in the same makeup you’d use to “age up” the kid playing grandpa in the school play being like “Monopoly?!? It’ll NEVER work!” or whatever.

If so, that's a pretty bleak view from the top of mountain. It's also the opposite of what I expect Seinfeld wanted here.

So… like Dan Aykroyd, Seinfeld is unable to focus his creativity into a palatable final product… resulting in a bloated, indulgent mess… Pop Tarts ❤

Long story short, not every movie can (or should) be Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. If you want to do a movie that just makes up a bunch of stuff for a laugh (while playing it straight), that's the bar you have to clear.

So...the only worthwhile thing about this is watching Hugh Grant collect another paycheck?

Something not enough people mention is the child actors. They were all really good.

Everything I have heard about this movie makes this sound like somebody tried to turn half a dozen halfway decent Super Bowl commercials into a movie and just failed miserably.

The more I learn about the Bee Movie, accidentally and against my will, the more unhinged it sounds. Somehow.

I beg to differ, personally I think Seinfeld is a hack that was propped up by a better partner. Much like Ricky Gervais

Given how much they lose every year, it's hardly an unfair comparison. It also helps to think of it like this: they tried applying the Walmart model to streaming. To wit, be crappy and lose a little money by ultimately being the only game in town. It's obviously not working out that way.

It hadn't occured to me till you mentioned it but I bet Seinfeld watched Food That Built America and it directly inspired Unfrosted

I remember Seinfeld's documentary Commedian, wich I found fascinating even with the decision to close out by talking to Bill Cosby. It's like Seinfeld never forgave the world for finding out about Bil Cosby being a wretched human being.

Seinfeld thinks when people say no to his ideas it’s because they are woke when really his ideas just aren’t that funny. He’s known for being a great standup but seriously what’s his most famous bit? What was his biggest special?

Glad I'm not the only one who loves "The Food That Built America" and immediately thought of the Pop Tart episode of that show while watching this movie! Listen to Bob. Go watch that instead!

That this is Seinfeld's first (and probably last) directorial effort is obvious. His reach way exceeded his grasp.

When you say "Seinfeld," are you talking about the person, the show, or both?

Really strange how Seinfeld chose to blame "Wokeness" for killing comedy but he branded himself as being a "Clean" Comedian for most of his career. This is not a slam on Comics like Jim Gaffigan some of whom are really funny but you can't tell me that Pryor or Carlin weren't "Woke" when it came to politics and those 2 are miles above anything that Jerry Seinfeld could ever be. If anything is killing comedy, it's people like "Kramer" screaming the N-Word at the audience and how much $ you think is still going into all their pockets based on his role in the Seinfeld series?....

Honestly, my problem with the movie was not all the random weird ideas. Normally I love random weird ideas. It's that Jerry didn't put nearly enough thought into how all those weird ideas fit together and the whole damn thing is just an incoherent mishmash. Has its moments, made for a hilarious trailer, but overall very disappointing.

It probably would be better if they actually filmed this like a serious movie about the nuclear-arms race, but it was about Pop-Tarts vs Country Squares. That's what Seinfeld was all about, making mountains out of molehills.

I never watched BoJack Horseman, but this sounds like that one subplot everyone brings up from it about the time another character called Mr Peanutbutter uses his position as a big movie star to get a whole movie created around a random birthday card he found.

That history channel series is pretty much the only History that history channel makes these days. The style was started ages ago with America: the story of us, and they just keep making new series in the format, even reusing scenes to make money. It’s been over 10 years, but it is informative and entertaining. The style does dive deep into “great man” history, but once again, the many versions are entertaining, they have two new ones this season, The MegaBrands that built America, and how Disney built America.

So, it's an allegory for Jerry's comedy.

I think I would have liked a mockumentary satire on Genius/Inventor/CEO biopics. And this isn't it, oh well. (I guess we have to stick with the podcasts and the books)

Bee movie worked because it was the Jerry Seinfeld persona shoved into a "slightly absurd" but not too absurd theme. This allows him to slip back and forth between reacting oddly to normal things and having normal reactions to odd things. To me that is the Seinfeld persona.

This is the best review of the movie I’ve seen in terms of pinpointing the flaws and astutely describing them. Wonderfully done. There were a few bright spots in the movie but too few.

The creator of that series didn't even want it to _be_ sci-fi. He wanted it to be a straight political thriller about how fascism could take over America, but was forced to disguise it in a sci-fi way because the executives he worked with to make the series told him it was "unrealistic" for America to fall to fascism the way he thought it would. That and he was already pigeonholed as a sci-fi guy after doing the "Incredible Hulk" TV show and the TV adaptation of the movie "Alien Nation". After all we've seen of Trump embolding people who believe shit like "It's time America had a dictator, and that's why I'm voting for Trump to have a second term!", I think that the creator may have been on to something and that the execs at the time were either embarrassingly naive or far too good at gaslighting for their own damn good.

​@@JimmyneutronwasokayIguess First came to them with Miller's Crossing, the first film I ever watched where I HAD to pay attention to get what was going on. Even gave Albert Finney one more great performance in a career full of them.

@@johnathonhaney8291 Oh yeah wasn't my first but I took me a couple times to fully appreciate that one. Fantastic movie

I thought Unfrosted felt very similar to Bee Movie. Except that film flows from beat to beat effortlessly even in the more outlandish elements.

I also love the Foods That Built America. One of the few shows still in production on broadcast TV that I still like watching. 😃😆 Liking documentaries about mundane objects and the Seinfeld sitcom I’d assume I’m part of the target audience, but I didn’t get far in. Just dreary. Funny people often reach a point where they just don’t know what’s funny anymore. It’s always fascinating if you can assemble talent like this and still create something this misbegotten.

Movie aside, I look forward to any making-of featurettes that come out of this.

OMG, this show is AMAZING. First of all, thank you for introducing me to The Food That built America. It's everything you said it was. I just found and watched the first episode. YIKES. Good stuff. Also, when did History Channel go back to history? I mean last i checked it was all Ancient Aliens and crap. Granted I haven't had cable in. . .OMG, it's seriously been over 10 years. Whoa. I used to be a fan of all the space science shows and the Biography channel used to fun for gaining interesting insight to famous people's lives. But I just remember a period when everything just changed and too much crap was on. Especially reality shows. Good to see they still do shows like this. Oh, as for the movie. MovieBob, surely you know that when certain celebrities reach a certain age they turn into Grandpa Simpson ala Archie Bunker and most of what they will produce is going to be shyt. I think at this point it's an actual formula because it's so consistant. I mean did anyone really believe that Ben Shapiro was going to produce a useful gem. The only reason why Frank Miller slipped past us was because the right-wing POV does align nicely with what Batman actually is when you think about it.

Miller did say he regretted writing Holy Terror though.

2:40 Or it's the "Ford v. Ferrari" of breakfast foods. 5:41 Well, Bob, if you like that show, I'd also recommend "The Toys That Built America". It has episodes about Nintendo v. SEGA, Barbie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and TRANSFORMERS. Then again, finding out stuff like that from our childhoods getting on The History Channel means we're getting old. OT: I watched Unfrosted last Saturday night and I confess... I laughed my head off at it. Sometimes I just want to watch something without "bite" or "a serious message to preach", just something light and silly after a long day or week.

Seinfeld was clearly a talented comedian 20 years a go... But now? Really?

You can never go home again.

Didn't expect you to get ten minutes of content out of this one. Well done.

I feel like if you have never reviewed a movie online this movie would be a good starter pack
