★1/2
I feel like Jerry Seinfeld himself must be the only one who found this movie funny. What a waste of a great cast. The worst part is, the concept of a cereal company feud being treated with the same weight and importance is a genuinely funny idea. And yet they still found a way to make the most painfully unfunny movie ever. I’d take a million Adam Sandler movies (I’m looking at you Murder Mystery) over this. It’s quite an amazing feat to waste such a strong concept, and such an incredible cast, on some of the most deeply unfunny writing I’ve seen in quite some time. Why did this movie even need to be made? The Bee Movie this is not… Unfrosted is truly a waste of time despite all the “fun” celebrity cameos.
I should’ve expected this… it’s a Netflix movie after all!
