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.

You know what disappoints me, it’s not the movie but the fact that people (the audience) writing the reviews would rather watch morbius, the movie with 11 % from critics but somehow, 71% from audiences than this. When I watched this movie a personally liked it a lot and I was about 10 last time I watched so sure I didn’t know much about what makes a movie good, but I mean it was funny silly I liked Ed I think that was his name, and for a movie in the 90s it wasn’t bad but the fact that people would much rather see morbius than this is just crazy like I don’t get it, and don’t even get me started with madam web or however you spell it, I heard so much about that movie and how horrible and down right garbage that movie is and how people would wanna watch just because how bad it is and your telling me people liked it less than good burger by only 13%, it has 53% rating on the audience review more than it even should. I would originally give good burger like and 8-8.5 maybe even a nine, but for people saying morbius is better than this, I can’t let the slide.

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.

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.
