All you need to know about this movie is that the world's greatest comedian decided that writing a cow fart joke into this movie was a good idea. Every minute of this movie is just a bother excuse to put a comedian friend into the film. The best actor in the movie is the little girl (oh and Hugh Grant) and there are some real heavyweights in this one. It had some real potential, but just like every other movie released by Metflix, it had no idea what it wanted to be. Sometimes an Airplane wannabe, sometimes a weird art piece, and other times taking the absolute shortest path to a bad joke. It really had potential, but it is now just the 20th straight bad movie that Melissa McCarthy has been in.

Is this the funniest movie I've ever seen? No. But it is definitely the funniest movie I've seen lately. And that's quite an accomplishment, considering I'd have no reservations about watching this with my 8 year old nephew. Of course, a lot of the humor would be over his head, but who would have thought that a movie so utterly unobjectionable could also be so funny? Kudo's to Jerry Seinfeld, because I think he's succeeded in making a live action movie with a level of comedy similar to classic cartoons. You know what I'm talking about- absurd, slapstick, yet with that bit of wry, adult humor that the kids don't get but the adults find very funny. Not to mention that this movie also probably has one of the best comedy ensemble casts of all time. Granted, it may have gotten a little too silly at a few points, but no movie is perfect. I'm really surprised to hear people hating on it so much. I went in with very low expectations based on the reviews, but I was literally laughing consistently through the whole thing. The world could use more comedy like this. Nice work Jerry!

Jerry Seinfeld should have stayed home and sit on his money instead of producing, directing and leading in this pile of frosty and unfunny, unfrozen mishmash of nonsense. How much have they paid the media to review this as good family entertainment?? If there is any moment that is reality-based in it, I've entirely missed it. As for the jokes, from every star cameo to the main ensemble delivering them, they are so forced and disconnected, as if they were all written separately without concern for the development of the story. It was embarrassing to watch many talented actors be dragged through this mess, hamming it up left and right, I'll make an exception for John Hamm who delivered without self-conscious mockery. It felt like Hugh Grant was cursing himself for being in it every time he showed up. Truly en embarrassment. Don't waste your viewing time.

It does not seem to matter to Jerry that he has created "Unfrosted" for a niche audience - his own generation. If you lived through the 60s, you will probably find it refreshing and funny. My husband and I laughed heartily through much of this picture. Take lots of nostalgia from our youth and blend it with that wacky Seinfeld humor, and you get a very enjoyable movie indeed. On the other hand, if you are from a younger generation, many jokes will go right over your head. Apart from recognizing some of the cereal mascots, the remainder may be lost on you. But hell, I'm a boomer and I loved it. Thanks Jerry, for making a movie just for us!

This feels like that Dick Turpin series on Apple TV: proof that no matter how talented the cast of comedians, if the script ain't funny, it ain't funny. It starts off like a weird but charming mix of Willy Wonka and Airplane, but then descends into a big budget car crash. I imagine Jerry Seinfeld went to Netflix and said "I'd like to make a film about my love of cereal and I can get my mates to act in it" and at no point during production did anyone tell him that maybe it's not working. It does have a couple of funny bits but outstays it's welcome by 90 mins. Enough here to fill a wacky sketch. But when 30 mins of jokes rely on them misnaming Pop Tarts "Trat Pop", you know you're in trouble. Avoid.

It may be fitting that a movie about an unhealthy processed breakfast food (full disclosure: never had one) turns out to be unfunny formulaic celluloid that should have stayed in the can to turn into vinegar. I am a fan of Jerry (as is just about everyone who knows his work) and recently saw his standup in Las Vegas, where he turned out his usual quality comedy that clearly reflected the skill and workmanship he put into it. I laughed non-stop for 90 minutes. But this is a dumpster fire, from start to finish, and tarnishes the reputation of all who appear on screen as well as those responsible for its production. Of course this drek of a movie will do nothing to lessen the popularity of Jerry's formidable oeuvre, nor will it diminish his billion-dollar fortune. But it's a shocking fall from the very pinnacle of comic heights. I'm not sure that I've seen anything less funny and less entertaining than this, though I was surprised that Hollywood is still able to summons so many freshly polished cars from the '60s. Maybe they came from Jerry's private collection. No point in calling out any of the other actors. All horrible. And why on earth did Hugh Grant agree to be in it, in a Tony the Tiger suit no less? Money? Really? The movie doesn't do much good for Kellogg's or Post either (neither of whom, I've been told, knew about the film): in fact, it could be a real "cereal" killer.

I wanted to like it so bad. I kept on waiting for it to get funny or interesting. After half the movie, I asked myself why am I torturing myself with this movie. This movie is not even funny. There are dry jokes here and there but it's not funny. I was really excited when I saw the cast and who it was directed by but damn I was wrong. With so many good actors and actresses there is so much that could be done to make it funny. Either way, may be it gets funny after half the movie but I don't have the will or desire to watch the remaining half. Either way, there was a lot of potential and I had high hopes.
