Here I am reviewing a movie from 1997 and I normally don't review movies before the 2000s, but Good Burger was laugh out loud belly laugh. It was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen in my whole life. I watched this movie on Netflix and I loved it so much I watched it 2 times in a row. It was truly the best comedy ever. There is no word on as sequel, but there really needs to be a sequel because it was FANTASTIC. comedy does not get any better then this masterpiece. Good Burger had me laughing from the minute it started till the credits were starting. Parents I don't find anything wrong about this movie and that could be because it is from the late 90s, but I don't know all I know is that this is a flawless movie. Nickelodeon PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a sequel. My score 10/10

'Black Devil Doll From Hell', 'Tales From the Quadead Zone,' 'Nudist Colony of the Dead' (the musical) 'Gandi To Hitler' (the musical) 'Horrifying Experiments of the S.S.'s Last Days' 'Gestapo's Last Orgy' 'Porno Holocaust' 'Chained Heat 2: Stripped of Freedom' 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians' 'Caligula Reincarnated As Hitler'...... are all 'Citizen Kane' compared to the 90 minute root canal which is 'Good Burger.' "This is a fun film for kids." say some reviewers. They should all be aware that their kids disagree because they've actually had to watch the movie. They should also be aware their kids are going to fxxxing kill them!!! The fingernail pulling begins with Dexter (Kenan Thompson) planning a relaxing summer vacation by exploiting every black stereotype on the universe.Dexter crashes his car into Sinbad whom unfortunately survives the accident and Dexter must pay to fix his car. WHY? Liability insurance will cover it! This is all just a set up for Dexter to take a summer job at Good Burger with nails on chalkboard Ed (Kel Mitchell).Ed seems to be trying to impersonate Sean Penn's character from 'Fast Times.' It wasn't funny then and it's NOT funny now! When Ed's "Welcome ta Gud Burger home oh da Gud Burger can I's take ya odor." is the highlight of the trailer you know this movie is torture.And that's the next 90 minutes! Ed repeating the same line over and over again for 90 minutes! The being skinned alive only pauses briefly for a few celebrity cameos such as Carmen Electra being hired to seduce Ed. Prince must feel really low right now.The studio also apparently had incriminating photos of George Clinton and Shaquille ONeal since they also put in an appearance.But by far the most humiliating is Abe Vigoda as the janitor. No, seriously it's Abe Vigoda. Yes, the Abe Vigoda. No, this isn't just an internet rumor, it really is Abe Vigoda. OK OK, all kidding aside it really is Abe Vigoda.And what does Abe Vigoda do in this film? He literally just mops the floors in the background! He doesn't even have a single line! WTF!!! No one is this hard up for entertainment. If they showed this in prison it would start a riot. If they showed this in a convent it would also start a riot! DO NOT SEE THIS FILM!!! Alright, all kidding aside Abe Vigoda really is in this film. Please don't watch it to see for yourself just trust me, it's Abe Vigoda.

Now I ask you: how could Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, and even Abe Vigoda(Who, unfortunately starred in that racist piece of horse diarrhea North) not be embarrassed starring in this movie? This is way beyond stupidity! In the beginning, All That featured a Good Burger sketch that delighted millions of kids. Then, some numb-nuts at Nickelodeon went to a bunch of executives at Paramount Pictures and told them to make a movie. I'm picturing how this is played out...Nickelodeon Numb Nuts: Duh, hey guys! Remember that Good Burger Sketch from All That? Paramount Executive: Yeah. So what? Nickelodeon Numb Nuts: I got an idea for the Good Burger movie! Paramount Executive: What's in it for us? Nickelodeon Numb Nuts: If I give you guys a ton of money, will you guys throw in the stars of the Good Burger sketch and Abe Vigoda? Paramount Executive: Who's Abe Vigoda? Nickelodeon Numb Nuts: I don't know, but I heard he's in Godfather.Paramount Executive: But, won't that make Godfather fans angry?Nickelodeon Numb Nuts: What the fans don't know won't get me fired.But boy, was he wrong. I don't know what that idiot was smoking either, so let's pray he got fired from his job. The characters are horrendous, the story has made no sense at all, and the jokes haven't made me laugh one bit. Heck, jokes on Popsicle sticks are funnier than this! If you want to see Good Burger, go see the sketches in All That, not this movie!

To state the obvious, I get a kick out of juvenile humor. I was a teenager when this came out and had never laughed so hard in my life. Now I'm far from those days with two children of my own and this movie still cracks me up like nothing else. Even when the jokes get old, the way the actors pull them off will always be hilarious. It's better than one would typically expect from something with a name like "Good Burger."This being said now, I've never seen All That, although I'm aware of its existence. So my opinion is coming from the perspective of someone who knows only the movie, not the source material. Not sure what fans of the show would think of this movie, but it's harmless fun.
