GOOD BURGER (Theatrical Release USA 1997)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.6|5.0 Starsììì Good Burger—comical—serves as a light-on-the-mind movie that works more on the slapstick side of comedy with repetitive return to the target of the comedy.  It does not take high emotional involvement and works as a good child/adult share or a younger audience 'supervision not needed' movie. Watch for Abe Vigoda in this movie and guest/cameo star appearances of Sinbad and Shaquille O'Neal. Film Poster Courtesy of Wikipedia

Storyline

The story is about two teen-age boys, one named Dexter (Kenan Thompson) and the other named Ed (Kel Mitchell). Dexter damages his teacher’s car when driving his mother’s car illegally—no driver’s license or insurance. The teacher gives Dexter the option to pay for the damages and Dexter takes a summer job at Good Burger. He meets Ed, who also works at Good Burger. Good Burger faces competition as a new fast food restaurant, Mondo Burger, opens across the street. Ed invents a new, sensational burger sauce and the story is on as Mondo Burger attempts to steal the recipe and the boys find that Mondo Burger uses an illegal substance to make the meat in their burgers swell in size.
