This wasn't a bad film, it felt like a run of the mill, cheesy comedy. I enjoyed it, but it didn't have me rolling on the floor laughing.
The thing that stood out to me was that it felt like a series of SNL skits. No kidding, I lost track of how many SNL members, showed up in Unfrosted. With Seinfeld being a well known, experienced comic, it seems fitting that he'd want to stack his film with comedians. Maybe it was too much though, as it was just overly silly at times and some of the "skits" disrupted the flow of the movie.
As far as being clever, Unfrosted did have a lot of 60s references, some of which probably left younger viewers confused. It certainly felt like a mature comedy, especially with some of the adult humor, but then other parts tried to appeal to kids. What was the target demographic? You can't say kids, as there was plenty of crude humor. Maybe it was just a bit too narrowly targeted, hitting hard on the 60s content. Unless you grew up in the decade, or have knowledge of pop culture at the time, it probably fell flat.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the film. I just didn't know what to expect with all the hype, especially with the fact that it ended up being almost entirely fictional. I was hoping it would be based a little more in fact, but some of the jokes venture into the patently absurd realm. I'm usually not a huge fan of silly comedies, but this wasn't that bad compared to other recent films of humor. I'd rank a lot of your popular comedies about 6 or 7, even the ones that seem to be critically acclaimed. Simply because it's not my favorite genre.
Overall, I think Seinfeld made a decent comedy. It didn't quite live up to all of the hype, but it was silly, fun and nostalgic. It just could have used a bit of, well, frosting.

Disclosing up front, I've been storm chasing for about 10 years, so this is my perspective.
The film is not perfect by any stretch. It has some actual, authentic storm footage, but it's mixed in with low quality effects and blurry scenes. Many shots are filmed in wide angle and the perspective is all distorted. (Sorry, the photographer in me was cringing)
I digress. The plot had moments of suspense and drama, but it was way too jumpy. Plenty of Easter eggs for storm chasers, but a lot of that will go over the head of the casual viewer.
It would have been nice if they took a little bit of time of clearly outline what a "supercell" actually is. Sure, I know what one is, but it would help the viewer understand better. You see lots of radar clips, but with little to no explanation at all. Dramatic music is also thrown in all over, but it doesn't always fit with the flow of the movie.
Unfortunately, there were also many errors, in terms of meteorology, storm evolution/continuity and with geography. At one point, there are interstate signs visible from the wrong state. Unless you're a storm chaser or travel often across the Plains, it's really hard to follow where they are and what they are talking about much of the time.
Overall, it seems best watched in a group. Go into it accepting that it's not a perfect cinematic masterpiece. It's dramatized for Hollywood. If you can look past some of the flaws, you will probably enjoy it. If you're expecting an award winning film with epic tornado footage, then you'll be disappointed.
I give it a 5/10, trying to not let the storm chaser in me skew my perspective.

The style of humor on SNL has evolved with the times, but I have trouble finding much to laugh at with new episodes.
They finally cast a great and funny Joe Biden with James Johnson, who really nails his mannerisms. Unlike the over-the-top physical comedy with Jim Carrey, Johnson does an amazing Biden. Unfortunately, the cold open in this episode revolves around a Spiderman joke that is beat like a dead horse. Over and over. After the first couple of minutes, the punchline is gone and I cringed watching anymore. I actually had to turn it off and fast forward. It was that bad. It's a shame when you have an actor with SO MUCH talent and it's wasted with 7 minutes of the same joke over and over again.
Weekend Update had a few good jokes. Jost and Che have awesome chemistry together.
Beyond that, nothing was very memorable with this episode. I keep tuning into SNL, hoping for something new and fresh, but the new humor style is very off-putting. They also seem to struggle to get bigger names to guest. It's nice to give an up and comer some air time, but still.
