Anyone watch "Unfrosted" on Netflix?

[birdographer]

The Jerry Seinfeld movie. I watched it this afternoon and enjoyed it--so many familiar faces in there! My absolute favorite part, though, was when Jon Hamm was channeling Don Draper to present an advertising plan, and John Slattery was sitting in the room as well. Perfect!

1. I gave up about a third of the way through.

Watched it with another Seinfeld fan who didn't even last that long and they
stopped watching it after 10 minutes.

2. Yep. Loved it.

A goofy, fun little film. Great effort by Jerry Seinfeld and Spike Ferensten.

3. Watched it....meh, not nearly as good as I thought it would be.

4. Not funny at all.

Very disappointing.

5. Wow, tough crowd here

It was a silly movie, never meant to be Titanic or whatever you think a major motion picture is. Yikes, I did not read the room. Sorry y'all hated it. I guess I have much lower expectations for a Netflix movie... Lesson learned about the movie crowd...

10. I thought it was damned funny, birdographer.

I plan to watch it again. Then to go out and buy some . . . what were they called? Tarp-pop? That's why I need to watch it again: the movie is not forgettable, but my memory is full of as many holes as there are stars in the sky.

6. We liked it

Silly, yes - but he included many current comedians as key characters, and the references to Mad Men and Jan 6 were hilarious!

Many of you know that JS refused to play any character other than himself after accepting a role in some forgettable and short-lived sitcom prior to Seinfeld. He even had to be talked into doing Seinfeld by Larry David and many others, given his reticence after that first debacle.

Unfrosted is, for Seinfeld, a chance to *try* to play a character other than a New York standup comedian. To that end, it works - he's funny, seems relaxed, and has finally shed his narrow needs for authenticity. This is comedy after all, and silly comedy at that.

If silly comedy isn't your thing, that's fine, and that means this movie definitely isn't for you. But there were a lot of subtle wordplays and period references that made it fun for those of us that like this kind of thing..

7. Thank you!

There was a reference to a "bubble" that came out of the steering wheel in case of an accident--loved it. And yes he seemed not only relaxed, but like he was having fun. And "what about frosting?" "No." I guess it comes down to expectations. Insist on high-brow cinema--nope, don't bother. Have a fun sense of humor?--take 90 minutes to get a few laughs.

8. I liked it, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if Seinfeld had not been whining lately.

The "Mad Men" scenes were my favorite too & the Walter Cronkite imitation was great.

9. It was very good.

I enjoyed all the performances. Amy Schumer was my favorite.

Shi... I can barely remember any of it now and I just watched it two nights ago. Gonna have to watch it again.

[Ohiya]

11. Thanks for the recommendation

We just watched it and found it very enjoyable.

12. I just tried to watch it.

It was ok for a while. I quit when Amy Schumer called the little girl Cabbage Patch. The movie is set in the 60's, 20 years before CPK.

I'll pick it up again though, it wasn't that bad.

13. I can't stand Seinfeld so I'm going to skip it
