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 (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.

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

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.

I could not get past the first 5 minutes. Seinfeld again does not seem to understand that he is not funny anymore.

Unfrosted is star stacked, is extremely silly, and definitely what we needed as a break from all the nonsense and sadness of our world. Also dances around as a political satire, comments on popular TV shows and events. Really loved Snap, Crackle, and Pop!

Unfrosted is a hilarious, extremely entertaining biography with a great cast, funny moments and makes you want a Pop Tart while watching it.

I don't think it's as bad as everyone says it is, but it definitely has it's flaws and it's no where near perfect

A fun movie, silly, strange, goofy. I bet the actors and writers had too much fun while making this movie. Probably would be more fun if I were a pot head.
