Verdict on Unfrosted
Unfrosted is a comedy following the battle between Kellogg’s and Post rival breakfast manufacturers. It follows Kellogg’s trying to stay ahead of Post’s latest creation which could change the system forever.
This movie follows the breakfast battle between two of the biggest companies. It sees how they make enemies with new ideas and the battle for supremacy becomes more challenging. The comedy is mostly awkward and forced in every sense. When it comes to history, it has been expanded to wacky levels for additional attempts at comedy. It only ends up causing more chaos and mockery of the system.
Where to Watch
Unfrosted is available on Netflix now.
Final Thoughts – Unfrosted is a forced flat comedy trying to hard for laughs.
