Jerry Seinfeld may have a little egg on his face, based on the reaction to Unfrosted, his new Netflix comedy about the creation of Pop-Tarts.
The release of Unfrosted comes after a media campaign where Seinfeld griped about the state of comedy because of all the extreme left and PC crap.
The film was released Friday, and by lunchtime it was obvious many critics werent sweet on the film, based on a tally of reactions compiled by the Hollywood Reporter.
Chicago Sun-Times critic Richard Roeper even went as far as to call Unfrosted one of the decades worst movies in his review and said in a social media post that it was so dreadful it made Flamin Hot, a film about the creation of an extra-spicy type of Cheetos, look like The Social Network.
In the pantheon of Brand Origin Stories, "Unfrosted" is so dreadful, it makes "Flamin' Hot" look like "The Social Network."https://t.co/cd5rI9mw6L

I knew UNFROSTED was likely to stink, but it really does stink. The depiction of Cronkite is hilarious, but hoo boy.

"Unfrosted," Jerry Seinfeld's all-star comedy about the origins of the Pop-Tart, is far too mild and uninspired to generate real laughs.https://t.co/pdOYsMigWo

It's a GREAT new weekend for movies. Four of the new releases are legitimately brilliant.

Jerry Seinfeld's UNFROSTED isn't one of them. It's abysmally unfunny, like watching a misfire Super Bowl ad on a 90+ minute loop.
My review is at @TheWrap . https://t.co/pArs6YtwMZ
With a stacked cast of genuinely funny people, #Unfrosted forgets to just Be Funny. Its too busy winking at itself. Trying too hard to be satire & straightforward, its overloaded with jokes on the era. Worse, they spoof Jan 6th attacks but with cereal mascots storming Kelloggs pic.twitter.com/XUxqBmg1Lm

I curse whichever Netflix executives told Seinfeld that Unfrosted was a good enough idea to fill 96 of the most interminable minutes of my movie watching life but praise whatever gods may be that saved us from this being a 6 hour streaming series pic.twitter.com/biVbtQVhj3
