Reviews for Good Burger
I suspect Mitchell and Thompson are going to be around for a good long while; their clowning talent is as apparent as their schtick is derivative.
It didn't do much for me, but I am prepared to predict that its target audience will have a good time.
Any energetic junior high class could have written a smarter script than the one Dan Schneider, Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert provide.
Succeeds at what it tries to do, and it manages to be entertaining for adults, too.
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.
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.
Although the show is one I expected to hate, I fell for Ed and his band of idiots.
