“Good Burger” is a light-hearted comedy based on a recurring skit from the tv show “All That”. I’ve never seen the show so I went into this with only very limited knowledge. I can’t believe how entertaining this movie is. It’s so amazing or anything like that but has some real heart and likeable characters you want to see succeed. It reminds me a lot of “Spongebob Squarepants” as both are from Nickelodeon and both are about fast-food workers.

The dim-witted Ed (Kel Mitchell “Mystery Men”) loves working at the Good Burger fast-food restaurant. However, his livelihood is threatened when a rival burger joint opens across the street. Ed and his new buddy Dexter (Keenan Thompson “Snakes On A Plane”), who needs money to pay for the damage in caused in a road accident, must find a way to save the wholesome Good Burger from the vicious competition.

The Ed character is as dumb as Jim Carrey’s Lloyd in “Dumber And Dumber” or any character played by Pauly Shore (“Jury Duty”) but he’s more innocent and likeable. Keenan Thompson is also enjoyable as Dexter. Carmen Electra (“Scary Movie”), Robert Wuhl (“Batman”), Abe Vigoda (“The Godfather”) and Linda Cardellini (“Scooby-Doo”) all appear and provide some chuckles. However, I found Sinbad (“Jingle All The Way”) a little tedious and the sequence with Shaquille O’Neal (“Steel”) was not exactly a highlight for me.

“Good Burger” is a silly movie where moronic buddies drive around in a car that looks like a giant burger. It really does feel like the inspiration for “Spongebob Squarepants”. This is not a movie that’s going to change your life but it is a film that is just so full of joy and good fun that it is hard to resist. I’m not really familiar with Kel Mitchell or Keenan Thompson and I’ll admit that the idea of a feature-length comedy based on a skit about a fast-food worker sounds awful. However, I think you will find this movie is pleasantly surprising.
