Unfrosted (2024)
A good family comedy - a rarity these days
It is what it is - a 7/10 silly family comedy with a bunch of comedy stars and familiar faces, nothing more and nothing less. Now, as I suspected many people won't like it and may think it's cringeworthy, unfunny, old fashioned and I get it why they might think so.
Here's the thing, we don't see these kinds of silly (family) comedies nowadays. The comedies of late 2010s and 2020s are more in the vein of Poor Things - weird, quirky and dark and many would say not comedies at all. But is it really fair to compare these vastly different types of comedies - its like comparing Dumb and Dumber to Fight Club.
Unfrosted is a good movie if you take it for what it is - a silly family comedy. Don't expect a quirky, weird, dark, sad, shed-a-few-tears type of modern comedy.

7/10 today, 5/10 fifteen years ago
15 years ago this would have been your average comedy but now in the age of depressive dramedies and unfunny pc comedies it ranks as one of the best...sadly. Finally I got to actually have a few laugh-out-loud moments while watching a comedy instead of crying a few tears during some of the recent horrible comedies.
It has been some 10 years since they released a full length comedy with more than one lol scenes and to be honest this one is not even really that good when compared to the golden age of comedies from the 1980s up until late 2000s. OK, I must admit that Good Boys in 2019 was pretty funny and made for TV mockumentaries Tour de Pharmacy and 7 Days In Hell were really funny but these were huge exceptions. Sad days we live in...
