Amazing actors could not have been butchered worst! Unfrosted is without a doubt among worst movies I've seen this year. It's supposed to be a comedy but draws no laughs. The premise is silly, which s ok, but the writing is as lousy as it gets. The target audience s missed completely: it's supposed to be a family movie yet falls flat both with adults and kids. Watched it with my nephews and here' what 6 and 8 year olds said: "ewww gross" (kids eating out of garbage scene), "that's dangerous" (guy putting a metal object into a toaster). Guess kids summoned it up well: ewww gross, that's dangerous.
Unfrosted mixes a bunch of comedians together in a silly story and the result is about as good as eating Pop-Tarts. It's not great, but it's enjoyable enough if you're in the right mood. If this were a short comedy sketch on Saturday Night Live it would probably be pretty popular. The humor is very on-the-nose. It's not trying to be subtle at all. You can tell that the cast probably had a great time hanging out while making the movie, and most likely made up some of the jokes on the spot. I laughed a few times but, much like eating a Pop-Tart, I felt a little let down by the experience afterwards.
This has a lot of funny references, it's definitely entertaining. I don't know why it's rated so low. It simply does not deserve that. The acting is great, the cast outstanding, the story is fun to follow.
The big actor names keep coming, and it certainly makes the movie! It's cute! I suppose, if you're looking for a realistic documentary on the birth of the pop tart, you'll probably be better off reading up on Kellogg's and Post but I don't think that's the intent of this movie. I watched this by myself and laughed out loud several times, I think that's a pretty good sign. Give it a try, I think you will enjoy it. Unless you're a super grumpy person.

This is just a fun movie. I won't say it's a funny movie. I laughed quite a bit, but it wasn't laugh out loud funny, it was just a chuckle and a smile. Do not get hung up on the historical inaccuracy. This is not a documentary, it's just fun.
There are so many cameos it was distracting. I kept trying to remember who each one was. Many are in make-up or costumes that make it difficult to just say, "that's Bill Burr"....for example. However, all the cameos also add to the fun. I think the people making the movie were having fun with the script and the situation they were put in to make the movie enjoyable.
This is not a masterpiece, but it was a fun, lighthearted, diversion for about 90 minutes. These days, that makes for enjoyable entertainment.

I thought "Seinfeld" was incredibly funny and so it probably isn't surprising that I thought this was funny as well.
It is a comedy but you need to suspend disbelief, eh?
I had a couple of laugh out loud moments and for most of the movie I sat there and smiled.
That's saying a lot for me as I have a hard life. I don't watch a lot of comedies because they hurt rather than make me laugh.
But a friend recommended this and I'm glad she did. Despite the fact that Jerry has gotten some bad press recently, I found watching him in this was great.
I loved that Hugh Grant is in it, and Christian Slater. The fact that they have a scene together is a bonus.
There's some really great political humor here (Hugh Grant near the end wearing a costume like the Doofus in the horns who stormed the Capitol on January 6). That for me was a laugh out loud moment. I was just so happy Hugh was able to pull this off. And then after the joke about stopping at Woolworths to get the horns... haha.
This is silly and goofy and as I said, you need to just suspend disbelief. Kind of like Jerry's "Seinfeld" series, right?

- TriviaElements in the opening diner scene matching Norman Rockwell's famous September 20, 1958 Saturday Evening Post cover illustration "Runaway" include the red hobo pack, the white-clad counter man, the white vertically ribbed wall, the Specials chalk board, the chrome bar stools with green cushions, the coffee maker on right, the pie case on left, and the wall mounted radio. Appropriately added for the film is a Kellogg's display. In the Rockwell painting, Seinfeld's place is taken by a police officer who suspiciously eyes the little runaway.
- GoofsWhen Post opens the Top Secret dingus case for the two kids to taste, there is a row of three. Two are burnt up in the toaster, leaving one. Then Miss Post removes two more to be tasted without being toasted.
