  • "Unfrosted" inspires one of our biggest disagreements ever. Who would have thought that a movie about Pop-Tarts could be so divisive? Jerry Seinfeld makes his feature directing debut, co-writes and stars in this mind-bogglingly star-studded comedy that plays with the origin of everyone's favorite breakfast pastry. One of us laughed a lot; the other says this is one of the worst movies of the year. Check it out and let us know what you think. Co-starring Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, Jack McBrayer, Fred Armisen, Peter Dinklage, Bill Burr and many, many more. Now streaming on Netflix.

    Jerry: So, I was grocery shopping yesterday, and I passed by the Pop-Tarts aisle.
    Elaine: Oh, the "breakfast of champions".
    Jerry: Exactly. But here's the thing: They had this new flavour-blueberry lemonade.
    Elaine: Blueberry lemonade!? Who comes up with this stuff?
    Jerry: That's what I'm saying! It's like they're playing flavour roulette over there at the Pop-Tarts factory.
    Elaine: You know, I tried one of those artisanal toaster pastries once. It had goat cheese and fig jam filling.
    Jerry: Goat cheese in a Pop-Tart? That's a crime against breakfast.
    Elaine: Tell me about it. I took one bite and immediately regretted it. I felt like I was betraying my toaster.
    Jerry: It's like they're trying to reinvent the wheel, but instead, they end up with a square. Literally.
    Elaine: And don't get me started on the frosting-to-filling ratio. It's like they're holding out on us.
    Jerry: Exactly. You bite into one expecting a burst of flavour, but all you get is disappointment.
    [They both nod in agreement, taking a sip of their coffee.]
    Jerry: You know, maybe we should stick to the classics. Brown sugar cinnamon never lets you down.
    Elaine: Amen to that.

    I just saw this yesterday. I loved Seinfeld as a 90s show. As a kid of the 80s, I loved the ridiculous cereal award premises. The actors were great, set design, costumes, amazing. Stay tuned for the end credits, they are more fun than the movie.
    I am of a certain age, I got all the historical jokes, some were funnier than others. Children talking like adults is hack.
    Seinfeld laments about the lack of comedy. Netflix just gave him ALL OF THE MONEY to do whatever he wanted. This was the comedy he came up with.
    However, the Anti-Woke Seinfeld had people of color in the movie? For what? Who does he wish to look good in front of? He knows POC didn’t live his town Massapequa, LI in the 60s. Probably due to Redlining. Stand on business, Sir!

I will die on that hill for it, love it when movies just have fun. Dozens of wacky cameos, wacky schmaltzy stuff and it most definitely worked. The production design and cinematography are very boldly, loudly blasting to the viewer how much of a hug it is to advertising and how surreal it all is. To me, this is one of those movies that separate who can be my true friend and who can't. To crap on a movie this ridiculously fun is just mean and tone deaf. Still enjoy your thoughts though Christy and yeah we probably couldn't be true friends! Haha!

    I’ve been agreeing with Alonso a lot in the past year, and I share some of his cultural obsessions and have a high tolerance for silliness, so I watched this thing thinking I might enjoy it. IT’S SO BAD. I mean maybe you could edit this down to a decent 4-minute Funny Or Die video, but as it is - wow. Melissa McCarthy tried her best and had her moments, and it was nice to see Sarah Cooper back in action and there was that one cameo that was actually funny - but that’s all I got. And I agree that the mascot strike was not only offensive for its January 6 references but it also seemed like a patronizing put-down of the SAG-AFTRA strike. The movie was an expression of smug privilege; if you’re rich and famous you can get a lot of extremely talented people to make a piece of garbage, while a lot of great screenplays by people you’ve never heard of will never get produced. Ugh. I might have to watch Cocaine Bear again to get that out of my system.

    The Insurrection parody was about the only part of the movie that reached the level of "kinda funny." The rest of the movie was a slog, with all the performances way too "in-the-know." When all your actors know its a comedy, and ACT like it's a comedy, it doesn't work. Especially, hen they are not comedic actors. The only ones who were able to pull it off ok were Melissa McCarthy, and (kinda) Jim Gaffigan.
    There were bits and pieces that made me lightly giggle...the woman cutting the banana at the funeral, and the 21 pop salute. But those moments were way too far and few between.
    I kept thinking that if i read the script, instead of watching the movie, i might have found it a lot funnier. Some of the jokes were clever, but the delivery was so over-the-top, that it was cringeworthy.

    I am definitely somewhere between Alonso and Christie on this one, I'm not sure how great it is for the best part of your movie to be the cameos. I'd say it was worth the watch for THE cameo alone (Netflix's Instagram page spoiled it for me this morning......) But definitely, considering the sheer volume of amazing comedians, I would have expected more. Hugh Grant pretty much stole the show on most of the movie for me, his whole character was pretty hilarious. The sea monkey ravioli gag was not funny at all for me, and I was beside myself when the January 6th stuff happened. Personally I'm not bothered it happened but it seemed like a wasted opportunity in some ways. Giving this one a 5/10 at best.

    I thought this movie was really funny, and fun. I never watched Seinfeld (I bartended on Thursday Must See TV nights, so I missed all those shows), and I don't like Pop Tarts (Toaster Strudel forevah!). But, this movie was just ridiculous. And fun.

    It was interesting listening to this review because I disliked this movie, but nearly every joke Christy mentioned as examples of "bad jokes" were things I found funny. Like the Vietnam reference isn't just a "throwaway" joke. There are a lot of jokes in the movie about how we're watching a story from the perspective of rich people in a more "innocent time." (Like when Seinfeld talks about sending his kids to college, which costs $200)
    I don't get what is offensive joking about the January 6th riots. Christy sounds like she's talking about somebody joking about the holocaust or something. On January 6th, nobody was killed except for rioters who were killed by police. (If I hear one more liberal make the false claim cops were killed when this did not happen, I'm going to scream.) I found this segment to be one of the funnier bits. But even if it failed, how it was offensive is really puzzling to me. (There were also other Trump jokes in the movie.)
    For me, the movie failed because it didn't have consistent satirical target, nor a very compelling story. They set up that Stan and Bob had trouble working together before, he has to go and recruit her, and then they never have a single conflict during the entire movie. The movie's failure just seems to be overconfidence in how funny the premise is inherently, which leads to the lazy cameos and more tired gags.

I want to hear your opinions on it ...if it was good or bad.... I don't want to hear you telling me exactly part by part on how the scene goes. I had the mute when you were talking about the funeral grave or whatever. Please guys when doing non-spoiler reviews don't talk about the scenes. Worse than modern day trailers... Lol.

    What hurt Unfrosted more than anything was the writing. It was never fresh, much like the Pop-Tart. I felt like I’d watched this type of movie before so it felt cliche and unoriginal. I made it to about the first 30 minutes having never laughed and decided to stop watching. I liked the look of it and thought Jerry did a good job as a director though.

    David here I been a movie buff for over fifty years and I had very mixed feelings about this movie I liked the look of the movie and the nostalgia overload. However when they got to the so called January 6 jokes I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! I was so upset to make fun of 7 people killed and many others injured was not funny. I was so glad that you Christy agreed with me. I went ahead and chatted and called Netflix to complain about the scene. Yes you can call them to complain. They took my call with a live operator and read me there script and made a note of it. I feel that Mr Signfield, who’s the public apology for the insensitive way. He did that scene. Thanks and see you at the movies 🍿 😊

      No artist owes anyone an apology for his or her handling of anything. Don’t think the scene is in good taste? That’s fine. Lower your Letterboxd rating to reflect it. But where on earth do you or anyone come to the conclusion that what is attempted in a film should line up with what you think the artist should or shouldn’t be doing? We live in crazy times that notions such as yours are so widespread…

    Haven't seen this yet but now after this fantastic disagreement review I feel obligated to watch it. I really don't mind politically incorrect humor (Borat, all day forever) but I'm struggling to see how a Jan 6 joke fits into this and manages to be funny. Another problem is that I do not find Jerry Seinfeld funny in the slightest single bit.
    I'm fine with origin stories and I'm a believer that any story at all can be done and should not be off limits, because it is how you tell the story and how you make the movie. I wonder how this material would have been handled by John Lee Hancock, who so wonderfully told the origin of Mary Poppins in Saving Mr. Banks, and the origin of McDonald's in The Founder...?
