Critics Consensus

Much like a preservative-packed toaster pastry, Unfrosted is sweet and colorful, yet it's ultimately an empty experience that may leave the consumer feeling pangs of regret.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Jerry Seinfeld’s debut as a feature film writer and director is a mess. His breakfast pastry-themed 1960s farce plays like he shot every idea he had and made it into a 93-minute movie, regardless of whether they worked together or were particularly funny. May 16, 2024 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) Unfrosted is silly and dumb, but it’s meant to be silly and dumb. You don’t expect it to take anything seriously and it really, really doesn’t. Rated: 3/5 May 15, 2024 Full Review Peter Rainer FilmWeek (LAist) There's a lot of not terribly funny jokes in this film. A lot of hit and miss, sort of like a Saturday Night Live show where three-out-of-five jokes are vaguely funny and the other two aren't. May 13, 2024 Full Review Cameron Ritter Geek Vibes Nation Jerry Seinfeld’s directorial debut is a huge disappointment that is unfunny, unmemorable, and unnecessary, with the only outstanding thing about it being the ensemble cast he assembled. Rated: 2/10 Jul 20, 2025 Full Review Anna Menta Decider The absurd dialogue has kids saying things like, “hot fruit lightning,” which vaguely sounds like a joke on the surface, but, in fact, is just a collection of nonsense words. Jan 6, 2025 Full Review Chase Hutchinson The Inlander (Spokane, WA) There is a common criticism about comedies overstretching what could have maybe been a so-so sketch into a feature, but Unfrosted takes the cake in just how egregiously it does this. With painfully unfunny joke after unfunny joke, it's all empty calories. Dec 28, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Hugh J I loved this movie it was so funny it's like a modern day Dumb and Dumber or Earnest goes to Camp Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Ted K This movie sucks just like Seinfeld’s standup Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Mister M As a average movie viewer, I don't take humor seriously, I enjoyed the movie and laughed throughout, loved the casting they each brought their own energy. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Audience Member Love this movie! I’ve seen it multiple times now, and it never fails to give me some giggles. The humor is dry and subtle, but that’s what really makes it so funny Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review m s Ugh. Tried watching this w/ my father. The guest stars kept us watching but we couldn't finish it. Your days of being funny are behind you, Jerry. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review John B It's just not funny. The 60s nostalgia theme is fine; the appearance is nice. The endless cameos and supporting cast is exceptional; it was great seeing some of those people again. But the jokes just don't land. Amy Schumer was as good as she's ever going to be in a film, but the comedic tone was in trouble from the start, given that she was a good casting choice for what they were going for. How could Jerry Seinfeld's comedic sensibilities shift so far from being funny? For someone's sense of humor this had to be hilarious, but even as a middle-aged dad who finds things funny because they're not funny it all didn't work.
