Most popular movies on Netflix last week

Seven of the 10 entries on Netflix's most-watched movies chart are new to the list, and one of them is a Jerry Seinfeld film stoking sweet nostalgia.

New to the list is Jerry Seinfeld's "Unfrosted," a Netflix original which he co-wrote and directed. Seinfeld also stars in the film as Bob Cabana, a Kellogg's executive. The film, which joined the streaming service on May 3, tells the satirized story of the beloved Pop-Tart breakfast pastry. It's a light-hearted and entertaining portrayal of a quirky slice of American pop culture history infused with Seinfeld's signature humor. The comedy stars a dynamic supporting cast that includes Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Amy Schumer, and Hugh Grant. Unfortunately, the movie has gotten stale ratings from critics, but that hasn't kept viewers from putting it on their queues.

Another feature that's riveting subscribers is "Miller's Girl," an erotic thriller—which debuted on Netflix on April 25—starring "Wednesday's" own Jenna Ortega and "Hobbit" actor Martin Freeman. The movie follows Cairo (Ortega), a senior in high school who is having trouble crafting a mid-term assignment. In seeking help, she forms a connection and ignites a wrongful romance with her older writing professor (Freeman). Ultimately leading to a teacher/student relationship that spirals out of control.

On the opposite end of the genre spectrum is "Mortal Kombat," a 2021 action-packed fantasy film reboot—which joined Netflix on May 1—based on the video game franchise. The story centers on Cole Young (played by Lewis Tan), a mixed martial artist who discovers he is part of an ancient bloodline chosen to compete in a high-stakes battle. He joins Earthrealm's champions to square up against the forces of Outworld—together, they harness their unique abilities and face off against formidable opponents to save the universe from destruction.
