About this movie

Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell, stars of the popular Nickelodeon series All That, confront the ogre of faceless corporate tyranny and have fun doing it in this comedy for young people. Ed (Mitchell) is a teenager who lives for his job at Good Burger, a small but friendly neighborhood hamburger stand, while his buddy Dexter (Thompson) also works there, but lack Ed's single-minded devotion to his job - he's there because he accidentally destroyed the car of his teacher Mr. Wheat (Sinbad) and has to raise money to pay the damages. When Mondo Burger, a mammoth fast-foot chain, opens across the street, it looks like Good Burger is history, until Ed formulates a secret sauce that brings hundreds of new customers to their door. However, the monomaniacal manager of Mondo Burger, Kurt (Jan Schweiterman), is determined to get his hands on the sauce and put Good Burger out of business. Meanwhile, Ed and Dexter must rescue Otis (Abe Vigoda), the world's oldest fast food employee, from the Demented Hills Asylum, and Ed might just find love with Monique (Shar Jackson) if he could take his mind off the burgers long enough to pay attention to her. Good Burger also features basketball star Shaquille O'Neal as himself and George Clinton as one of the Demented Hills inmates.

Ratings and reviews

People say this sucks quick question why did u even watch this. This is a good movie for kids. I've seen kids watch movies that show"stupidity " yet they get good grades and are well behaved. So shut the heck up and let kids enjoy their lives as kids while they can. I mean I look at the reviews and there is only like 2 or 3 bad comments everyone else is saying they grew up with this like me.

Sadly, a live action movie that acts like a cartoon ( of which makes it fun) is no substitute for this simple-minded, predictable, and cheeky comedy with zero laugh-out-loud funny moments. The main characters Ed and Dexter have no chemistry in their friendship, and it's not nicely developed. They also get into a lot of mischief, they would not make good employees for a fast food restaurant at all, and they are both not that smart or even funny. The music score is fun and really good. The characters are portrayed as cartoon characters, all thanks to a great choice of actors on set. there are some funny moments, but, most of the humor is straight up dumb. Most of the dialogue is lackluster, and corny, but, there are some clever moments of dialogue (depends on the script). This film treats kids like they are simple-minded, and immature. Skip it.

Terrible Let me just ask Worst Movie I have seen what what and what. Now here's another what it what I lost count of how many what's but what's the difference between this and a toxic waste dump. Sorry had a to say it would be surprising to know that these guys know how to count to 4.
