    Not too shabby...

    Don't see this movie if you're looking for a good film that will make you think. The nudity and violence are all gratuitous, and the plot is very shallow. However, if you're looking for a good, fun film to watch with your friends, I strongly recommend Hamburger: The Movie. The plot is fairly simple. These kids are put in charge of a popular hamburger food chain and all sorts of wacky things happen to them. All in all, a good fun film.

    The pinnacle of cinematic comedy.

    Hamburger... the Motion Picture is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Although minimally popular, I think that it stood near the top of all teen sex comedies. The classic lines just kept coming. Every time I see the movie I practically laugh all the way through it. Although I'm sure some hate the movie, if your looking for a high quality teen sex comedy, watch Hamburger... the Motion Picture.

    Butkus Shines

    If you are a fan of Dick Butkus, like me, then Hamburger the Motion Picture is A Must. See Butkus chase our hero through this madcap romp. If you've ever wanted to see two fun-loving college guys be tortured in a giant pickle chamber, then this film is for you. Cameo by Charro as well!! This motion picture was sadly overlooked for the Oscar of most hilarious movie staring former pro athletes...which is a real shame. Hamburger has it all, handsome characters, torture sauce, guys who sing like Lou Rawls...and Buster Burger!! Don't take my word for it...Jerry Lewis says "it's a smash!!!" Now if that doesn't convince you, nothing will.

    One of the better bad 80's movies

    I disagree with the other poster! This is a great example of a "B" movie, the only thing seriously wrong with it is that it has a terrible soundtrack. The acting isn't half bad, and it has Dick Butkis puts on a great performance. I can think of many worse films than this one! There are numerous sight gags that still hold up today, and it is (in a way) a valid commentary on the fast food industry. Perhaps this and "Supersize Me" would make a great double feature? In all fairness though, this is a "guy" kind of movie...my wife didn't quite think it was nearly as funny as I did. Perhaps an even better double feature would be "Nice Dreams" the Cheech and Chong movie. An entrées and dessert........sort of!

    a good bad movie

    All I can say is, if you're REALLY interested in quality when watching a movie, stay away from this one. This has the unholy trinity: bad acting, bad writing, and bad directing. But maybe that's part of its appeal, if you're into that sort of thing. As someone who used to watch "USA Up All Night" with Gilbert Gottfried and Rhonda Shear, I love this movie. As bad 80s movies go, this is one of the more watchable.

    The main character is Russell, a guy who's been thrown out of college after college for having sex with the co-eds. So for some reason, he decides to go to Hamburger University to learn to work at a fast food restaurant (and subsequently to keep it in his pants, as if one leads to the other). Of course, all of the lame s*** you're expecting to happen does happen, but watch it anyway, because some of it is pretty funny. Watch out for the names: Mrs. Vunk, Mrs. Gottbottom, and did you know that there's a country called Guacamole (not pronounced GWOK-a-mole; it's gwok-a-MOL-ee!)? There were a lot of puns that I found myself laughing at despite myself, including the names of some foods at the Chinese restaurant they eat out at (one character in more ways than one) and the Frying Nun (watch and you'll find out). And when they all yell "Put that cookie down motherf***er!" at the little girl, I thought I would die laughing. And the part at the beginning, with the old lady dying of a heart attack in the drive-thru line from being insulted by the guy she's trying to order from? Priceless. Watch out for Dick Butkus (in one of the main roles; he's the biggest celebrity in the movie) as a sort of drill sergeant at Hamburger U; whatever you're expecting about Dick Butkus's acting ability, you're probably right.

    Sure it's stupid, lame, crude, and completely disposable. But there's also lots of naked women and fart jokes. If you are the type who can find the merits of some bad movies, you should give this one a try. I haven't seen it in years; I don't think it's been released on DVD yet, but I'd love to see it be.

    • Trivia
      The movie was not sold to a distributor and was released independently by its production company, which has been long out of business. It's unclear who exactly owns the rights to the movie, and it's unknown once the movie will ever see its DVD or Blu-ray release. ***** UPDATE ***** This movie HAS been released on DVD as of 2022.
    • Goofs
      Because it has no license plate, windows, roof, doors, fenders, bumpers, hood or lights, "Grill Sergeant" Drootin's Ford Mustang is neither roadworthy nor street-legal.
