The flick is being panned by critics, with some calling it «one of the decade’s worst movies.»
For someone with a refined comedic palate, Jerry Seinfeld sure knows how to pick movies. He’s starred in classic films like Bee Movie and The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, so he knows what’s funny and what’s not funny. Unfortunately, most critics believe his latest flick Unfrosted is simply Not Funny.
The movie, both starring and directed by Seinfeld, follows the riveting origin story of Pop-Tarts, the preferred breakfast snack to eat with one hand. Making movies about breakfast products might seem like a good idea to marketing execs and enemies of oatmeal, but not to people who enjoy good movies.
Unfrosted has been panned by critics, with some calling it “one of the decade’s worst movies.” Keep in mind that Bee Movie was released in 2007. Here’s what other critics are saying about the movie, which is now available on Netflix.
Collider‘s Ross Bonaime wrote:
Considering we’re in a world where Barbie can make $1.4 billion and become a commentary on feminism and the patriarchy, or Tetris, Air Jordans, and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos can get their own halfway decent biopics, it’s a shame Unfrosted doesn’t try a bit harder. Again, even a film like Weird managed to make its jokes and cameos work as part of a larger story, whereas Unfrosted always puts the story itself on the back burner.
