Los adictos en "Mad Men"

Don Draper se levanta tumbado en el suelo castigado por una resca de espanto. Lo que empieza como placer acaba como tortura. Los principales personajes de la serie “Mad Men” son adictos al alcohol, al tabaco, al sexo, al trabajo, a la heroína, al dinero. El creativo Freddy Rumssey bebe demasiado. Todo el mundo lo sabe. Pero una mañana, cuando está preparando con Pete y Peggy y Salvatore la…

I remember in the audio commentary that Matt Weiner said “You’re wife’s drunk” was the worst possible insult that you could say to another man in the ‘60s.

Tomar decisiones en el guion de "Mad Men"

¿Cómo se cuenta en guión la toma de decisiones en la serie “Mad Men? ¿Cuando Betty decide divorciarse de su marido cómo lo escriben los guionistas? ¿Cuando Don Draper decide firmar su contrato porque sus jefes quieren y Conrad Hilton también, cuando antes el creativo ha jurado que no lo haría, qué proceso sigue hasta llegar a ese punto de no retorno? -Tú tienes el poder sin contrato. Te quieren…

Unfrosted (2024) review

This film gave me Movie 43 vibes. Believe me that is not a good comparison to have.

Plot: Michigan, 1963. Kellogg's and Post, sworn cereal rivals, race to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast forever. A tale of ambition, betrayal, sugar, and menacing milkmen.

Hollywood has recently been really into telling backstories of famous commercial products, from BlackBerry’s to the legal battle behind the Tetris game, to Air Jordans. That’s right, we had a movie about Nike shoes - actually wasn’t a bad movie but seems strange thinking I spent two hours of my life learning about a shoe creation. Arguably the best of these recent product movies was The Founder, that told the story of McDonalds and how it was bastardized by Ray Crock (played by an energetic Michael Keaton), who transformed it into the soulless conglomerate it is today. I wouldn't call it a glowing endorsement of the modern day restaurant, but it really made for a solid and engaging cinematic narrative. Now cometh Netflix’s Unfrosted, a tale of how the popular Pop-Tart snack came to be, however here’s the catch - it’s made by Jerry Seinfeld.

As such, rather than being a cohesive unravelling of real life events, this primarily is a comedy. So much so that the story itself is so thin, and instead Seinfeld takes us from one skit to the other in hopes of getting a chuckle or two. Look, I’m not going to sugarcoat it, this movie ain’t worth eating for breakfast. It feels like a bunch of poor Saturday Night Live jokes thrown together, with 90% of it being unfunny. It’s a shame really as everyone involved seems to be having a wonderful time, but it doesn’t translate well as a whole package.

The one moment I actually got a kick out of was the Mad Men reunion. It was a totally unexpected cameo, and though I found it amusing, I’m very aware it’s going to piss of die-hard fans of the show, who may accuse this to be a cheap nostalgia gimmick that disrespects the show’s legacy. But honestly, I’ve seen a couple of seasons of Mad Men myself, and though it’s a very well written piece of TV drama, Jon Hamm’s character is not so sacred that it can’t be used in comedy. And yes his and John Slattery’s appearance in Unfrosted was absolutely out of left-field, but this random surprise really got me. It was silly yet at the same time utterly delightful.

What’s really crazy is how many famous faces agreed to be in this movie. A lot of the comedians have walked in straight from SNL, so their presence makes sense, and Melissa McCarthy, well, it’s Melissa McCarthy. Sort of expect this from her by now. However there are some genuinely talented people here from the likes of Christian Slater to Dean Norris to Hugh Grant, which makes you wonder what Seinfeld had on them to get them to agree to be in this. Must say though I did get slight entertainment from noticing every time another famous face showed up.

Overall Unfrosted is a mess. There’s high Cat in the Hat level colourful energy to its stupidity, with so much randomness thrown at you, but in no way is this a good movie. Can hardly even call it a movie to be honest. Then again after experiencing Jerry Seinfeld’s beestiality in Bee Movie don’t really know what else I expected.

Overall score: 2/10
