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.

[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.

This is a good burger and a good movie. The humor is very humorous, and it humored my humor thing. It may not be serious, but it’s fun, and sometimes that’s what you need.

GOD, what a classic this movie is. Sure, it's crude, but it is so unafraid of critical reception to where it becomes a masterpiece in its own way. My favorite part of this movie, however, is that it slides in wonderfully-provocative jokes that couldn't be said in today's excessively-sanitized movie industry yet STILL manages to remain a universally-enjoyable movie. This movie is cruelly-underappreciated exactly because it doesn't take itself too seriously, and a lot of movie critics whose sense of taste were diluted by giant film producer practices are too afraid to be seen genuinely enjoying this movie. That's what makes it a classic without being rated high... EVERYBODY SECRETLY LOVES THIS MOVIE
