Critics Consensus

Good Burger might please hardcore fans of the 1990s Nickelodeon TV series that launched leads Kenan and Kel to stardom, but for all others, it will likely prove a comedy that is neither satisfyingly rare nor well done.

If you like your burger well-done, you're in for a disappointment.

Los Angeles Times

[Good Burger] will satisfy their audience's appetite for basic, messy silliness while leaving many grown-ups mildly bemused by the fuzzy obviousness of its humor, the gawky pacing of its sight gags and the second-handedness of its slapstick.

Good Burger isn't USDA Choice by any means, but it's an enjoyable family flick with a nice message about friendship and responsibility.

Cheap and pandering kiddie comedy featuring strictly lowest common denominator storytelling and humor, although sometimes so stupid it's funny.

It's easy to see why Good Burger garnered negative reviews (including mine) upon its original release and why it's a hallowed Gen Y fave today.

A surprisingly fun movie with a great performance of Kel Mitchell. Everything was there to make it a boring TV-movie, but instead, it's a fun family movie that everyone can enjoy.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

this is by far the greatest movie I have ever seen in my 170 years on this planet and others. Such as sippy gobber cluster-juggle speckly jinger tickle-stinker sparkish zinger trampulate slicky marblize trembulate stickish muzzlinger wobbleate KO-35 First of all, that opening scene was absolutely magnificent. It perfeclty encapusatees the whimsicle and magical feel that floating in a dream world, a world where wonders await, can produce. The imagery of the hamburgers with eyes really goes to show how.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

If you listen to the critics your wrong, this is the best comedy movie of the 90's even after 3 decades later, this will keep a smile in your face after you finish the movie after 1 hour. 10/10

Do not listen to the reviewers of this movie, they don't understand what a great comedy this movie is. This movie will brighten your day no matter how sad or angry you are. This movie will make you feel good and leave you with a smile on your face. The critics who left such low reviews on this movie are just mad because there wifes have divorced them. I recommend this movie to watch with the family or by yourself.
