unglazed is the film directed and starring Jerry Seinfeld now available in Netflix. It is a comedy set in the 60s and based on real events that has a fabulous cast with great figures like Hugh Grant, Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer and more.
The official synopsis of the film reads: “Michigan, 1963. Kellogg’s and Post, bitter enemies in the cereal sector, compete to create a product that will change breakfast forever. Unsweetened It is a story of ambition, betrayals, sugar and bad milkers.”
Regarding the great cast, Seinfeld said: “It’s a huge cast. I don’t know how it got so big. I remember for a long time we didn’t have anyone and then Hugh Grant called and said he’d heard about the movie and wanted to be Tony the Tiger. Then the next thing I knew, everyone had joined in, it was amazing.”
In this film, Seinfeld leaves his standapero side and steps into the shoes of Bob Cabana, the head of development at the Kellogg’s company, a completely fictional character. Additionally, he is accompanied by McCarthy, who plays Donna “Stan” Stankowski, a technician who is hired to make Pop-Tarts a reality.
Despite their great figures, unglazed It did not convince critics. “Painfully stale. (…) She will have many cameos, but few laughs” they stated harshly on IndieWire in one of the many negative comments that could be read. For their part, Past Magazine agreed: “Disappointing and bland, like an unsweetened Pop-Tart“.
