Jerry Seinfeld's directorial debut, "Unfrosted," is out now on Netflix.
Critics said that the movie is filled with gags but doesn't have a clear, interesting story.
Jerry Seinfeld's new movie "Unfrosted" about the creation of Pop-Tarts has been flooded with negative reviews, with critics left wondering why the comedy movie isn't very funny.
Seinfeld's directorial debut is framed as a comedic take on more serious brand biopics that have become popular in recent years, with movies including "Air" and "Blackberry."
Instead of recreating real-life events, Seinfeld's film features bizarre, fictional moments.
Seinfeld recently stirred controversy after telling the New Yorker that TV comedy had been ruined by "the extreme left and P.C. crap, and people worrying so much about offending other people."
"Unfrosted" appears to be a response to this, as many critics said the movie is filled with uninhibited jokes that overtake the story. However, some critics said there are a few moments in the movie where the jokes actually land.
Here's what critics have said about "Unfrosted," which is available now on Netflix.
