Good Burger Review


"Welcome to good burger, home of the good burger, can I take your order?"

There's two kinds of people right now; Type one, and I imagine the significant majority, are people going, "What the hell is this movie?" The alternative is the group of people going "Oh shit! I remember that movie."

This movie came out in 1997 and stars the infamous duo Kenan and Kel from Nickelodeon circa right around that time. This pair did star in one other movie, Two heads are better than none, where in they and Kenan's family are trapped in the mansion of a murderer who hacks the heads off his victims and uses them as his own. It's really quite an enjoyable (and despite that description not making it sound such) funny movie. But this post isn't about that movie, so let's talk about this one.

In this movie Kel is a none-too-bright employee of a small fast food joint called good burger, good burger faces some new competition when a new restaurant from the large chain, mondo burger, opens up across the street, meanwhile an unlicensed Kenan gets into a car accident and manages to get the guy to agree not to tell the cops if he pays for all the repairs, so he gets a job working at good burger over the summer to pay for it. The movie shows the battle for supremacy between mondo burger and good burger.

Kenan and Kel are a hilarious pair of mother fuckers, and basically everything they've done is pure gold, what best helps this move is how utterly fucking oblivious Kel is, like the scene where he gives a man just a top and bottom bun after the man ordered a good burger with nothing on it. Kel then proceeded to argue with the man that a meat patty is something, and her ordered a burger with nothing on it.

This movie was great when it came out, and it has in no way gotten worse, it's still a wonderfully enjoyable film, and it's on Netflix now! If you haven't seen this, and you have Neflix, now would be a perfect time to have a laugh.
