Reviews for Good Burger
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.
Few people can be so big-hearted as to tolerate Ed's agonizing brand of pedantic humour.
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.
Any energetic junior high class could have written a smarter script than the one Dan Schneider, Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert provide.
Take any two young people off the street and throw them into a movie, and they'd be no worse. No one could be worse.
It didn't do much for me, but I am prepared to predict that its target audience will have a good time.
The little ones may well tune in to its wavelength, but woe betide the adult who accompanies them.
