A fresh, funny, super-sized kid's comedy that may even have a few grown-ups cracking smiles.

The meat of the piece is definitely FDA cinematically approved, and perfect if you like this brand of entertainment with the works.

Few people can be so big-hearted as to tolerate Ed's agonizing brand of pedantic humour.

Any energetic junior high class could have written a smarter script than the one Dan Schneider, Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert provide.

Anyone who doesn’t smile is probably either too adult to count or too dead to care.

Good Burger is not very well done. But it does have energy.

This is just one of those movies that really shouldn't have been made.

Although clean as a whistle, Good Burger is what show-biz moralist Bill Cosby should be excoriating, along with booty comedies. Its black characters resolutely carry on the tradition of the minstrel show, under the guise of kid entertainment.

Succeeds at what it tries to do, and it manages to be entertaining for adults, too.

The vast majority of me -- which is not 11 -- wanted several times to run screaming into the lobby and plunge my head into the nacho hot-cheese cauldron.
