Trivia
Elements in the opening diner scene matching Norman Rockwell's famous September 20, 1958 Saturday Evening Post cover illustration "Runaway" include the red hobo pack, the white-clad counter man, the white vertically ribbed wall, the Specials chalk board, the chrome bar stools with green cushions, the coffee maker on right, the pie case on left, and the wall mounted radio. Appropriately added for the film is a Kellogg's display. In the Rockwell painting, Seinfeld's place is taken by a police officer who suspiciously eyes the little runaway.

Goofs
There is a Mustang parked on the curb while John F. Kennedy was still President. This was not possible as the Mustang came out in 1964.

Quotes
Thurl Ravenscroft: Beware of entrance to a quarrel. But once in it... beware of me.

Awfully unfunny

This feels like that Dick Turpin series on Apple TV: proof that no matter how talented the cast of comedians, if the script ain't funny, it ain't funny. It starts off like a weird but charming mix of Willy Wonka and Airplane, but then descends into a big budget car crash.

I imagine Jerry Seinfeld went to Netflix and said "I'd like to make a film about my love of cereal and I can get my mates to act in it" and at no point during production did anyone tell him that maybe it's not working.

It does have a couple of funny bits but outstays it's welcome by 90 mins. Enough here to fill a wacky sketch. But when 30 mins of jokes rely on them misnaming Pop Tarts "Trat Pop", you know you're in trouble. Avoid.
