Good Burger 2

Look this isn't a perfect flick. If you don't have a fondness for the original it's probably going to be downright silly and not very good.

But it has a ton of heart and nails the overall vibe of its first movie much much better than most sequels that come out 20 years later do. It's clearly made as a labor of love for the fans and for the performers to enjoy themselves and catch up with friends.

It's obvious nobody got paid massive amounts of money for this - in fact the budget may be even lower than the original. But who cares! The jokes are still the same, the actors are still bringing it and enjoying themselves, and the whole thing is just like the first - a fun way to spend 90mins laughing at simple jokes and watch kenan/kel absolutely kill it.

They're great in the leads and it's like nothing has changed between them despite everyone being quite a bit older. Just go in knowing its very simple and cheap, but also tries its hardest to keep up the spirit of the original.

I am not the target audience for this type of movie. I only got it, on DVD, because my public library added it. So all it "cost" me was perhaps 90 minutes of my retiree time. I didn't watch the original "Good Burger" so all I had was to judge this one on its own merits.

I usually know if I am invested in a movie after 15 minutes. At 9 minutes into this one I was pretty sure I would not. It was confirmed after 15 minutes. Where to start?

It opens with Ed having a dream, it turns out he was asleep on the counter of Good Burger. Then when he starts talking he has what might be the most annoying voice ever in a move role. Then it degrades from there.

There is a story, of risking everything, even the money of friends and family, for a chemical that renders a home impossible to burn. In the inaugural demonstration, complete with audience in lawn chairs, including investor Mark Cuban, it fails badly.

The rest of the movie is to save face and reject a plan to have the Good Burger sold.

Frankly I don't know who the audience might be for this movie. The characters are overly silly, the story is overly silly, and the resolution is overly silly. For me, a big, big miss.

I'm a 90's kid I grew up loving "All That", "Kenan & Kel", and the first "Good Burger" movie. This movie started off good and strong, but then it quickly went south.

The film focuses too much on Ed. The pacing gets slowed down and caught up on Ed's over the top jokes for too long. I understand Ed is a bit of a dumb goofy character, but they REALLY upped the "dumb" on this movie.

Although I loved seeing Kenan and Kel back together again as well as some old familiar faces, I will never understand how the writers in this movie thought they created a good final product.

Sequels are usually never as good as the original, but the writers in this movie made SURE this sequel wouldn't be as good.

I really wanted this movie to succeed, but I can't lie to myself. I was really disappointed.

Good Burger 2 took me back in time to the original which was both a good thing and a difficult one. It reminded me how cliche and cheesy the original film was. Good Burger is just like the original but amplify it by 10x. Now don't get me wrong I had a good time with this film as it was harmless and didn't do anything to reinvent the genre. It was good seeing the original cast come back for this one. You can tell they had a good time marking this movie which hopefully rubs off on you. If you did not enjoy the first one at all then please don't bother with this one. Good Burger 2 gets a middle of the road 6 stars out of 10 from me.

After watching the original one, I was excited for the sequel. I had kept my expectations low as I was not sure about the sequel.

For me, the movie was both silly and fun. The story was simple and childish (which it was meant to be) and story's concept was same as the original, the screenplay was an improvement over the original, the direction was simple and good and the performances were good. The humour was uneven, somewhere you laugh and somewhere the jokes fail to make you laugh.

Overall, it is a childish silly movie which is enjoyable to watch with your friends and family just like the original.
