It's a satiric comedy set in 1963 in Battle Creek, Michigan. It's a comedic send-up about the invention of Pop-Tarts and the battle for breakfast supremacy between Kellogg's and Post. Although based in 1963, it rambles throughout pieces of the 1960s without embarrassment. There are a host of characters, some of whom are funny and some that fall flat. Seinfeld plays Bob Cabana, a senior employee at Kellogg's. His boss is Edsel Kellogg (Jim Gaffigan); the head of Post is Marjorie Post (Amy Schumer). Many Kellogg's cartoon characters appear; Hugh Grant plays Tony the Tiger. There are countless other comedians in the cast.
Along the way, "Unfrosted" takes potshots at John F. Kennedy's sexual predilections, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the January 6 attack on the Capitol. All of it is pointless, but then so was the "Seinfeld" TV series I loved. I smiled frequently but didn't have belly laughs at "Unfrosted." My favorite character was Walter Cronkite (Kyle Dunnigan).
"Unfrosted" tries to do too much and includes too many people. It was amusing, but not much more. If you have an hour and a half, watch it.
