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.

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

Peter Rainer

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

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.

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.

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.

Loud and Clear Reviews

As it is, Unfrosted is handsome, but lacking bite and substance. In short, it’s a Pop Tart, all sugar and frosting, but any actual goodness is hard to find.

Rated: 2.5/5

this could've been SO GOOD, but they made it weird and campy. If this had been done in more serious tone, with small hits of comedy (wolf of Wall Street style) it likely would've been amazing.

Aptly named. Like an unfrosted pop tart, this film demonstrated man's ability to create something completely devoid of meaning. Something that should never exist. Free of any actual substance. Bland. Annoying to look at. Just overall a bad time. How do these movies slip past quality control? Oh yeah. The standards are just that low. Another soggy waffle to add to the landfill of garbage cinema

That is funny! I think critics need perfection, while this is awesome if you're looking for something light.

I thought it was funny, wouldnt watch it a bunch but I dont think it deserved all the hate. Cast was good, Hugh Grant seemed a bit out of place, MM and JG are good. Love to see Fred Armisen. Worth checking out.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Easily one of the worst movies I’ve watched over the past 8ish years. No clue who thought this was a good idea, but whoever it was shouldn’t touch another script for the foreseeable future.
