Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to Kel Mitchell, Abe Vigoda, who was 76 at the time of filming, was able to run and climb over fences on set despite his age.
- GoofsWhen the Demented Hills patients are dancing, one man is in a straitjacket. It alternates between open and closed.
- Crazy creditsThe crew and second unit are headlined as "Good Crew" and "Good Second Unit".
- Alternate versionsWhen this movie originally aired on Nickelodeon, two actors from the original film were brought into brief recording sessions to both re-dub two lines that were deem inappropriate for a kids network. Abe Vigoda's line "I think I broke my ass" was changed to "I think I broke my tail", while George Clinton changes his "Ooh, this music sucks" to "Ooh, this music stinks". The original lines were revived when the movie aired on Nick@Nite in 2007.

Featured review
Not exactly high art, but still funny and entertaining
I am not really in the target audience for GOOD BURGER since it's a movie made by Nickelodeon. However, I wanted to try it since it has some sort of guilty pleasure cult, and it was just ok.
Ed is the cashier of Good Burger, and he is so loyal to his job to the point of showering with his suit on. After arriving on time, he and his colleagues find out that Mondo Burger (the fast food on the other side of the street) is in competition with them because they produce better burgers. After some attempts by Mondo Burger for stealing their sauce all failed, Good Burger's most loyal workers Ed and Dexter (Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson) tries to find out why their hamburgers are huge. And you might guess where all this is going.
While at times it was a bit dull paced, it had some funny moments here and there and some nice celebrity cameos. Kel and Kenan were worth a few laughs from time to time and veteran Abe Vigoda was the perfect scene stealer. Not a film to be taken seriously, just a time passer if you want to kill an hour and a half without thinking too much.
