Unfrosted Netflix Movie Review

#unfrosted #jerryseinfeld #netflixmoviereview
This is my official Netflix movie review of the brand new comedy, Unfrosted. Jerry Seinfeld is our director, and this cast is stacked. Michigan, 1963. Kellogg's and Post, sworn cereal rivals, race to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast. A tale of ambition, betrayal, sugar, and menacing milkmen, Unfrosted stars Jerry Seinfeld in his directorial debut.

Unfrosted is the movie that made me realize that Larry David was truly the brains behind the Seinfeld show. Jerry needs to stick to stand up.

I'd bet good money that the original script was funnier and more insane than what we saw. It felt like they cut a lot of stuff - either for time or budget - that would've actually made it make sense. Like that weird ravioli creature that pops up for 10 seconds of screen time - no way they didn't have more going on with that thing. And I'd also bet good money that the terrible line deliveries were because Seinfeld told them to yell. He spent half the movie yelling his lines...

There's not a subgenre called "Silly" in comedy. If it's silly and funny, it's a great mix. If it's just silly, it's just a cringefest. To paraphrase Jerry, "If it's not funny, I'm not interested".
We saw it last night and loved it. It was hilarious.
Realized halfway through I hadn’t laughed yet and it couldn’t possibly save itself. Saved some time and turned it off. Jerry can’t act and Jerry can’t direct. Got it. Agree with your review pretty much right on.

I’m beginning to see the genius of Larry David the more things Seinfeld makes without him. Sure he makes a great light hearted kids thing, but he isn’t as great at writing comedy than I thought he was. This movie proves it (i mean Bee movie proved it already but I thought hey maybe it was like a fun I’ll try it once thing) But yeah it baffled me how a cast of multi millionaire comedians could be this unfunny. That’s bad script and direction for you.
There's a drunk history where the Owen and Luke Wilson play the founders of Kelloggs and it would had actually made a great movie unironically.... that's all I need to say

Nailed it
It took a while to rev up, but once they did the "every Mad Men pitch in 5 minutes" scene, I was in. Started boring, but by the end it's a funny movie I'm glad I saw. Bill Burr is outstanding as JFK, and it takes a real history junkie to pull out the tiny bits of what really happened (although there is one bit of truth they apparently don't trust us to already know, so they tell us at the end.)
Perfect review.. I went into this movie wanting to like it, even to the point of being totally open to liking it even if it was very different than my taste, but i couldn't force a laugh. I think Jerry has been so successful that he could be like Norm and not care if we laugh or like it, the difference is Norm was almost always hysterical, and this movie was never hysterical. Like Jerry very much regardless. I think he's a great dude who's made the world much better, but not with this movie.
There was a Comedians in Cars episode with Joel Hodgson. In that episode, they both riff an imaginary scene over the sound of the ketchup bottle and how there were endless stale and stiff company meetings on handling the new ketchup bottle sound. THAT was a thousand times more funny than this movie, and should have offered the template of how to make this movie. If Jerry had tossed the stand-up stage format of streams of puns and jokes and just used that ultra-serious premise of stakes stiff upper lip attitude over pop tarts, that would have been a million times funnier. Life and death over pop tarts. Instead, everyone was funny and happy with each other, showing Jerry's kryptonite: Knowing how to write a movie, even a funny movie. He should have consulted Mel Brooks. This happens when you believe your own press clippings to the degree you feel you are omnipotent. It happens with celebrated, award-winning directors. Jerry just got there in film one.
I loved the movie. It was hilarious. Maybe people saw a different flick than I did. My whole family howled.
I couldn't finish it. I made it to Tony Hale's cameo and I tapped out, I was just cringing way too hard. I got Epic Movie vibes from it, and I just couldn't do it.
I’m a huge Seinfeld fan but didn’t like the movie much-same with Bee 🐝 movie. Bee 🐝 movie starts out great in the Hive and then loses out once the Bee leaves to the real world
It wasn't terrible. I wouldn't blame you if the boomer inside references went over your head. A tad formulaic, but a fun premise and a good chuckle.
I never thought they would make a Pop-Tart movie.
Good review! Especially liked that you didn’t include 10 minutes of talking about Seinfelds recent comments about wokeness. All other reviews Ive watched seem to think that was very important to add.

Felt the same. A couple good guest appearances and cameos (nice to see Christian slater, Peter Dinklage, Jon hamm, etc), but just terrible directing and really bad dialogue. I would say two funny moments (kind of) and then just felt like a waste of time. 3/4 of the way through I just fast forwarded to the end where it was even worse. Definitely a shame - could have been grrreat

M8 so you have to be aleast 65 plus to enjoy this movie? Even if it was just because the jokes were too esoteric and historical thats not a good sign. It's a pop tart movie not a drama about the Cuban Missile Crisis. It's targeted at kids or maybe that's just Jerry's famous "edgy anti PC" knock knock jokes. But it's not, the 60's are one of the most famous decades in pop culture, the jokes are just bad, we understand what they're trying to say, THATS THE PROBLEM, its.....NOT FUNNY.

It was a poorly written movie, objectively.
I think this movie definitively proved to me that Jerry Seinfeld without Larry David just feels lost. I'm also convinced he was able to get so many people involved because they thought Larry was gonna be involved in some sort of capacity (which thankfully he isn't). I found this to be a pretty painful watch tbh.
It was pretty bad. No laughs through 1/3 and then I quit. I’ve got other things to do.
It was depressing to hear Bill Burr say on his podcast that he thought this movie turned out great and is really funny. Bill usually calls it like it is but there is no way he actually believes this.
Not sure if yall picked up on it within it's satire,.. but major truth bombs were dropped on the public through it. The movie had NOTHING to do with pop tarts nor, cereal brands. Its a history reveal.
I made it halfway through and gave up. As a Brit I’m used to absurdist humour, but this was painfully unfunny on every level. Netflix really needs to start overseeing its projects properly, nobody involved in this mess deserved paying for what they delivered.
How did someone so talented come up with something so flat? Most of this was almost embarrassing to watch. I loved the Seinfeld series, enjoyed the Bee Movie and got a real kick out of most of the Comedians in Cars episodes. Unfrosted? Wish I could unsee it. Hope the next show is back up to the usual level of excellence we're used to with Seinfeld. We still love you, Jerry!

Couldn’t agree with you more Austin. I love most everything Jerry has done. He knows funny. Seeing this, I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up being a Kaufman-like ruse to show how comedy can no longer funny due to appeasing the woke community and everyone in the movie especially the comedians are in on the gag.
I wanna watch it because the reviews are dull and boring and dull and boring, for the sake of comedy can be dull and boring, and if you repeat it, it becomes a joke, except you had technicolor and a few famous names and then it becomes ironic and a force to be reckoned with or just a bad farce

It's a dumb, silly movie, packed with gags and famous comedians. I'll probably watch it again.
