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.

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

Most of the jokes are as flat as turkey slices and the whole thing presupposes how predictable it will be.

This lacklustre comedy written and directed by Jerry Seinfeld is no good for anybody. Centred on a battle of wills between opposing cereal companies, Unfrosted falls flat from the outset despite a wealth of solid talent onboard.

It's unfortunate that so many good actors and comedians are in this really bad written script, it feels like Mr Seinfeld wrote it, but this time at a 3rd grade level except kids could never get the 1960's reference. That's too bad because i see the idea could have been great.

Good premise, but unfunny, painfully trying to be quirky but just ends up odd & tedious. Characters bland, no story or anything to care about. Looks like a very cheap film, even though it apparently cost millions to make.

I had such high hopes for this. I am not sure if this truly is how Pop Tarts came to be, but fun to think it did. I will say for anyone who saw what occurred at the Capital on 6 January 2020, there is one scene that was uncomfortably similar that personally I could have done without. This movie is like Mad Mad Mad World where practically everyone known to Hollywood is in it. A lot of SNL alumni in this. I just cannot believe Hugh Grant had fallen this low to take this part.

obviously kellog spent millions to try and get people to eat their crap. everyone from snl was in this and did a horrible job but they lost my respect by even being on the cast list. this is and i am not exaggerating the WORST movie i have ever watched. its a 90 minute cereal ad full of unfunny jokes by a bunch of sellouts. everyone in this movie has lost my interest permanently. not funny, not interesting, honestly enraging. if i could give negative stars i would. i created a rotten tomatoes and imdb account just to rate it low.

Do not look away, not even for one second, you will miss a joke setup, punchline or both. If you like a simple, predictable comedy, don't bother with unfrosted. They stepped on the toes of every 60s icon and made us like it.
