mbmast-86111 A good movie for kids. Good Burger is a movie that is packed with silly comedy such as a giant burger falling on a teachers car,Ed playing in a milkshake machine,and Mondo Burger blowing up due to a burger overload. The best pat about the movie aside from the plot is Ed's catchy song that will get stuck in your head. Kids will absolutely love this movie. Speaking from experience I watched this movie literally everyday when I was 10. This movie is easily a 10/10 kids movie.
DiamondGirlfl Once upon a time...NICK actually offered fun programing. Stuff your kids and you could watch together and enjoy. Now...most of what NICK dumps out is the same stuff repeated over and over. NICK..like Disney has become a product generating machine...taking kids,pre-teens, and teens and turning them into "stars" as quickly as possible...because that generates lots and lots of money. Little concern is given to the actual creativity that might happen as well. My kids...now all grown adults...used to watch many of the shows NICK offered...like "All That" and then "Kenan and Kel"....which is where this movie was generated from. Kel...the rather slow-witted half of the duo works at "Good Burger"...(how he got the job in the first place does come to mind..) and Kenan...the smart mouth wise guy...who tries to get through life without doing much at all...star in this funny film. As "Ed" and "Dexter"..they get into all kinds of crazy situations...all the while trying to make it through the summer. Adding to the storyline is the fact that across the street from "Good Burger" is a huge fast food place called "Mondp Burger"..and it has none of the charm of Good Burger...in fact...the plan of the very psycho manager of the place is to put Good Burger out of business...for good...or as he puts it...in the grinder. All the workers there are actually afraid of this guy..Kurt...why I have no idea. He looks about as fearful as a cotton ball. It looks like Mondo is going to take over the burger world...but wait...by accident....Dexter discovers that Ed has created his own special sauce....and suddenly...Good Burger is the most popular place in town to eat...and everyone is happy...for a while. In between....there is a teacher who seems to have it in for Dexter..who owns him money for a car accident he caused. Sinbad plays this character...and he looks like he is stuck in the 70s. He seems too mean for a teacher...but adults are never shown in a good light in movies like this one. Anyway...the show goes on and Dexter and Ed go through all kinds of chaos becoming good friends in the process. They also have to become heroes of sorts as well...unlikely ones for sure. They end up saving the day...and all is well. My kids watched this film years ago..and now younger ones in our family have watched it too...laughing and enjoying it just as much. This movie and these actors were pre-Hannna/Carly/Jonus....and much more fun to watch. While NICK is still cute and kids watch it endlessly..it no longer offers the same fun and creative programing it once did. The "kids" of Good Burger have all grown up and moved on...few we will hear about from time to time...but the fun of Good Burger remains for those who loved it then and will always enjoy it now...with or without kids being around.
steveh46 Yes, I said great movie. Kenan and Kel are the Laurel and Hardy of the 90s. I wish they'd done more movies.This actually was the best movie I saw in 1997. Any movie with Abe Vigoda playing the world's oldest fast food worker has to be good. Besides that the musical scene set in the insane asylum, with Mr. George (P-Funk) Clinton himself leading line dancing mental patients, is classic.Yes, it's silly. Yes, it's frequently stupid. But it is funny. Your kids will like it too. "I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. 'Cause we're all dudes."
Grarcmandu The cast of "All That" returns for good humor in the "Good Burger" a place similar to an old fashioned fast food restaurant. The comedy is terrific, the fun is non-stop, and though cliché, is a passer for kid and family comedy.A movie for all ages, this movie is meant to enjoy, laugh, and pretty much a lazy movie for a rainy day, as that's what I'd save this movie for, a rainy day. USA aired it today, and since I know that the cast of "All That" is in it, I thought that it might be a bit of a chuckle burner, but in good fun, as Keenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell (probably one of the best young duos of that time) were terrific together, the pieces came together, and everything worked out, and it made it into good family fun together with some lazy day work to get off the bad day.May I take your order?
