Contradictions

- The first chapter of the movie, 'Chapter 1', had an opening weekend box office return of $11 million with a total price tag of $100 million.
Deceptions
40%
Examples:
- I bring all this up because Unfrosted treats the origin story of the Pop-Tart with such a derisive, backhand flippancy that it's not at all clear what Jerry and his team of screenwriter-producers actually think of the Pop-Tart. Is the movie a goof because they're making fun of what a mediocre product it was? Perhaps.
- The entire movie is a put-on, a wackazoid tall tale, a comedy that uses the breakfast wars as the jumping-off point for a high-camp exercise in nostalgic lunacy.
