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.

Battle Royale With Cheese

Unfrosted is a huge disappointment. The trailer made it seem like it could be a fun comedy with an amazing cast. Instead, it ends up being an almost boring, completely unfunny movie that wastes one of the best casts to appear in a comedy in some time.

Third Coast Review

Unfrosted takes itself seriously, which makes the story of betrayal, envy, ambition and even death, all the more silly.

Rated: 3.5/4

Movie Madness Podcast

While the film plays out like the ultimate dad joke movie, even the groaners earn some smiles and when the satire hits it earns your more pronounced laughter.

Rated: 3/4

This was hilarious. I haven’t laughed so much for ages . I can’t understand why so many people gave it a bad review . Where has everyone’s sense of humour gone?

Comedy is hard, but if you give this a chance, there’s a prize in the box. Gets better and better. Hilarious.

The movie was colorful, and true to the Seinfeld experience. You don't necessarily watch movies like this for the plot but for its laughs and lighthearted nature. I feel like it's a family friendly movie with a twist. Highly recommend.
