I'm so annoyed coming to IMDb and these so called critics (if you're really a superior critic then what are you doing online at a website coming and pointing out FLAWS in a kids movie?) I saw this when it came out and I was a kid then. I liked it. Enough said.
Kids will enjoy it (though I'm not too sure today because they might not be familiar with who Kenan and Kel are *cough*geniuses*cough* all kids that watch All That today know the basiness of the cast members that are currently on there (they suck) Though, if your a fan of the classic All That or Kenan & Kel then you'll like this film.
It's goofy but like I said it's a kids movie, what do you expect?

I absolutely love this movie. It is very stupid but very funny. Ed is an employee at Good Burger who doesn't have a lot of common sense which makes him very lovable and extremely funny. Dexter is the costar with Ed who is a somewhat spoiled high school student who learns the ethics of hard work and in good friendship. The storyline is pretty simple and a bit ridiculous but it adds to the humor. A new fast food joint has opened up across the street from Good Burger and become a huge competition for Good Burger but there is something not right with this new fast food restaurant though no one can quite put their finger on it. This movie is guaranteed to keep you laughing the whole way through.
I am not really in the target audience for GOOD BURGER since it's a movie made by Nickelodeon. However, I wanted to try it since it has some sort of guilty pleasure cult, and it was just ok.
Ed is the cashier of Good Burger, and he is so loyal to his job to the point of showering with his suit on. After arriving on time, he and his colleagues find out that Mondo Burger (the fast food on the other side of the street) is in competition with them because they produce better burgers. After some attempts by Mondo Burger for stealing their sauce all failed, Good Burger's most loyal workers Ed and Dexter (Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson) tries to find out why their hamburgers are huge. And you might guess where all this is going.
While at times it was a bit dull paced, it had some funny moments here and there and some nice celebrity cameos. Kel and Kenan were worth a few laughs from time to time and veteran Abe Vigoda was the perfect scene stealer. Not a film to be taken seriously, just a time passer if you want to kill an hour and a half without thinking too much.

Unlike most people who saw the movie, I enjoyed it. Granted, it's not the greatest film ever made. But I liked watching Kel Mitchell perform. Hopefully he'll get better roles as his career progresses. He is a natural actor.
This 1997 movie is based on a hilarious sketch from the series, All That. Well, Good Burger is just as hilarious on the big screen as it is on the small screen. Even though this movie was marketed as a kid's film, it can really be enjoyed by all ages. The plot is simple and has it's flaws, but that doesn't hurt the movie. Just sit back and relax, and you're sure to enjoy this movie. The movie is funny mainly due to it's stars, Kenan and Kel. They have an excellent chemistry together and are a great comedy team. Thumbs up for Good Burger!
