“Unfrosted” (PG-13) -- Jerry Seinfeld makes his feature directoria­l debut with this comedy film loosely based on the origin story of Pop-tarts! Set in 1963, Kellogg’s and Post Cereal are the two biggest names in the American cereal industry, but both companies are desperate to knock each other out of the running. When Kellogg’s receives word that Post is creating a fruit pastry breakfast product, the company decides to recruit a team consisting of NASA scientist Donna Stankowski (Melissa Mccarthy), Steve Schwinn (Jack Mcbrayer), Chef Boyardee (Bobby Moynihan), and Jack Lalane (James Marsden), to come up with a rival product. If those actors aren’t enough to get you interested, here are just a few more names from the large ensemble cast Seinfeld was able to pull off: Jim Gaffigan, Hugh Grant, Amy Schumer, Peter Dinklage, Christian Slater, Sebastian Mansicalco, Jon Hamm and Bill Burr. Out now. (Netflix)
