UNFROSTED Movie Review | Jerry Seinfeld | Pop-Tarts | Netflix

Published 2024-05-03
"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.

    Christie & Alonso, this is the most Siskel-&-Ebert-at-each-other's-throats I've ever seen you two. Please see MORE divisive movies. "The funeral scene is desperately unfunny.... I'm just shocked that you enjoyed anything about this." If it were possible to subscribe again, I would.
  • @jeffinition
    Alonso went harder for this than Oppenheimer
  • @TMJW
    Love a cold open where Christy comes roaring out of the gate
  • @SuperWhofan1
    Thanks guys for being honest! Not to a create a Jerry bashing session, but…..Larry David is the talent and Jerry was the frontman.
  • @leonkuwata4510
    The pain Christy must be in when she has to be more polite towards movies like Unfrosted and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 because her co-critics liked them lol
  • @sweeney60
    This could have been good if it was written and directed by Christopher Guest and filmed like mockumentary. That could have been funny and clever but this ain’t.
  • @literofcola
    For someone who complains endlessly about not being respected for their comedy these days, i think Alonso could've been more harsh about a movie written, directed by, and starring that guy. Sounds like a bad idea for a film, looks terrible, and I certainly won't watch. Thanks Christy for your take on this.
  • @Nightmoore
    I was in shock at how bad this was - especially considering the available cast. It was SO bad, I'm starting to think this is some kind of messed up experiment by Netflix to see if they can get viewership boosted from people hate-watching it. Total trainwreck.
  • @langleymneely
    I just have to say it’s so sad to see what Jerry Seinfeld has devolved into. He’s afflicted with the same out of touch billionaire head worms Chapelle and Musk are suffering from. He has the audacity to say something as stupid as “you can’t do risk taking comedy anymore in this PC age” mere weeks after the Curb Your Enthusiasm finale! It’s so utterly ridiculous.
  • This movie is a perfect example of the Metamodernism era we are currently experiencing.
  • @psychoparty5948
    Seinfeld should have made a comedy on how a 40 year old adult male had himself a 17 year old girlfriend in high school.I bet she was still eating Pop-tarts....frosted only. 😂
  • @moviemike44
    I am totally in agreement with Alonso on this one! It's nothing amazing but I did laugh quite a bit. It's pretty funny! And that funeral scene was hilarious, come on. 😅
  • @nancykerrigan
    Just finished it and honestly... I'm with Alonso on this. Corny as hell but for some reason i couldn't stop smiling. Yes there were jokes that didn't land and lingered for too long but it didn't offend me. Even the scene Christy mentioned I wasnt offended by. I think it was more about making fun of the people involved if you know what I mean.
  • The movie doesn’t work, but it reminded me of a few of the absurdist, screwball comedies of the 1960s. Something like It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. If that doesn’t match your sensibilities, this film being intentionally dumb will just annoy you.
  • @waynedexter
    “I’m not going to defend this movie”. Then proceeds to defend it. I love Alonzo ☺️
  • @CaptainCologne
    I’m glad Christie brought up some of the obvious lame jokes like, “Vietnam, that sounds like a good idea.” It needed to be funnier than that. Should have tapped Larry David.
  • @chris6770
    It sounds like no one had the clout to hold Seinfeld to account for the script. Shame.
  • @racerxjax
    I was a kid in the 1960's and I loved the movie. Yes it's silly. But it's a spoof. With all the heavy news we are subjected to each day, I was happy to just giggle and I'm laugh. Loved that they brought in John Hamm too.
