Unfrosted: Jerry Seinfeld’s Pop-Tart Movie

Ensemble comedian casts are usually harbingers of doom.

You weren’t sold on Bill Burr as JFK?

The Zoomers love Bee Movie. They might rescue him again.

Bee Movie is such a piece of shit.

If Adam Sandler and his ensemble of former SNL folks can crap out one unwatchable POS after the next onto the silver screen and still find success, I think Jerry can manage it on Netflix.  People watch things at home they wouldn't bother with on the big screen.

Jerry Seinfeld's 'Unfrosted' is one of the decade's worst movies.

We experienced an explosion of Corporate Origin Story movies in 2023, from the four-star titles “Air” and “Blackberry” to the creative and inventive “Tetris” and the appropriately silly and funny “The Beanie Bubble,” to the formulaic “Flamin’ Hot.” The latest entry in the brand-name genre is Jerry Seinfeld’s Netflix movie “Unfrosted,” an astonishingly unfunny, deeply weird, live-action cartoon that is so clear-the-room dreadful it almost plays like a horror movie.

I’m surprised that director/co-writer/producer/star Seinfeld, one of the sharpest and most observant comedic minds of his generation, didn’t halt production halfway through, call time of death and apologize to everyone for wasting their time. “Unfrosted” is so consistently awful it makes the aforementioned “Flamin’ Hot” seem like “The Social Network.” If there was a thing called the IMDB Witness Protection Program whereby you could get your name taken off the credits of a particular project, this would be that project.

Now I'm actually tempted to watch it.
