Good Burger 2

I'm a 90's kid I grew up loving "All That", "Kenan & Kel", and the first "Good Burger" movie. This movie started off good and strong, but then it quickly went south.

The film focuses too much on Ed. The pacing gets slowed down and caught up on Ed's over the top jokes for too long. I understand Ed is a bit of a dumb goofy character, but they REALLY upped the "dumb" on this movie.

Although I loved seeing Kenan and Kel back together again as well as some old familiar faces, I will never understand how the writers in this movie thought they created a good final product.

Sequels are usually never as good as the original, but the writers in this movie made SURE this sequel wouldn't be as good.

I really wanted this movie to succeed, but I can't lie to myself. I was really disappointed.

Saw another review talking about the "magic" of the first film and how (basically) this movie is a disgrace to the "good burger" name but... come on.... the first movie wasn't really that great either. Ya im sure I enjoyed it more cause I was a kid and if I let myself be blinded by nostalgia I would hate this movie in comparison but both movies have the same ridiculous plot, silliness, corny acting, and over the top childish humor.

I actually kinda enjoyed watching it even though it definitely doesn't deserve anything above a 6/10 - the first movie had some special charm but let's not pretend it was a masterpiece. I actually expected this movie to be really bad so I went in with low expectations but about halfway through I realized it's actually pretty spot on quality wise when compared with the first movie.

That "special charm" of the first movie probably had everything to do with the time it came out and the fact that I was a kid then and that's the target audience! Sure there were some really memorable scenes from the first one but if I really go back and analyze I can't say it was really thaaat much better than this. I'd say the 1st was 6.5/10 (probably a 9/10 in my kid brain) so only a little bit better - I rewatched it in recent years and remember being really underwhelmed and thinking "this didn't age well" and "this was all so much better in my memory."

Point is... its about what you would expect.

If you grew up watching Keenan and kel, All that, and good burger then you will like this movie. Its not going to win any awards but it made me laugh quite a bit with kels stupid antics. Without spoilers there's some epic non good burger cameos that I really appreciated. It's a stupid movie with a whole bunch of stupid jokes based around a really stupid concept in the first place. I really enjoyed it and a firm 3/5 stars is respectable for what it was and could be. It was just great to see both of them dudes back at it and honestly Kel stole the show! This movie was creatively great! So much nostalgia.

This movie was pretty good, I dont know why people are saying "its not as good as the first one". Well duhh! No one expected it to be better than the first. Its fun, got a few laughs, and it does a good job at trying to capture the innocence of the first one. No its not completely original, the storyline is pretty similar to the first but its a good thing that they tried to stay on brand. Can you imagine how mad the fans would be if they completely flipped the script? They also had a few cameos from actors that were in the first film as well as some familiar faces from Saturday Night Live. Enjoy the movie, dont think too hard, have a laugh with your old pals. Who loves orange soda??

Look this isn't a perfect flick. If you don't have a fondness for the original it's probably going to be downright silly and not very good.

But it has a ton of heart and nails the overall vibe of its first movie much much better than most sequels that come out 20 years later do. It's clearly made as a labor of love for the fans and for the performers to enjoy themselves and catch up with friends.

It's obvious nobody got paid massive amounts of money for this - in fact the budget may be even lower than the original. But who cares! The jokes are still the same, the actors are still bringing it and enjoying themselves, and the whole thing is just like the first - a fun way to spend 90mins laughing at simple jokes and watch kenan/kel absolutely kill it.

They're great in the leads and it's like nothing has changed between them despite everyone being quite a bit older. Just go in knowing its very simple and cheap, but also tries its hardest to keep up the spirit of the original.
