Air Force One/Good Burger/Cafe Society/In the Company of Men/Box of Moonlight

Gene Siskel - Host: There isn't too much to say about "Good Burger", other than it isn't very funny. I don't see why one of the kids couldn't be smart. That would set up a whole 'nother set of jokes, I think. As written, however, I strongly recommend skipping "Good Burger".

Roger Ebert - Host: Well I don't recommend the movie either, Gene, but I think these are two pretty bright kids. I don't know why you think they're dumb. They figure out the entire situation, they save Good Burger, they outsmart the competition, they get everything they want, who could be smarter than that?

Gene Siskel - Host: They play- do you think that Ed is a smart character, or do you think...

Roger Ebert - Host: He's very smart in the way that he goofs on people with his wordplay, yes.

Gene Siskel - Host: In other words, you believe that Ed is TOTALLY an act, he is not saying what he really thinks when he speaks?

Roger Ebert - Host: Uh, I believe that to a degree, yes. He's absolutely performing.

Gene Siskel - Host: Then we completely disagree.

Roger Ebert - Host: As Ed, yes.

Gene Siskel - Host: We completely disagree.

Roger Ebert - Host: And even so, he's not dumb. Even if he isn't an act, he's not that dumb.

Gene Siskel - Host: I think that every...

Roger Ebert - Host: He's effective. He's effective in dealing effectively with...

Gene Siskel - Host: Roger, these are the heroes of the picture! Of course they're gonna make things turn out happy! You think the burger store's gonna close up? Come on.

Roger Ebert - Host: Another problem I have with your review is I think, basically, this movie is made for eight-year-old kids who watch Nickelodeon. I think...

Gene Siskel - Host: [sarcastic] I had no idea.

Roger Ebert - Host: And they'll probably like it too.

Gene Siskel - Host: I thought it was made for their college professor fathers and mothers.

Roger Ebert - Host: No, you reviewed it as if it was.

Gene Siskel - Host: So you- you're giving it a positive review?

Roger Ebert - Host: Not for MYSELF, but I'm trying to give a fair assessment of the movie and its intended audience.

Gene Siskel - Host: I thought you're a guy who always says- you review, what you think, and not try and predict what the audience is gonna think.

Roger Ebert - Host: Well, if I've been useful to our viewers, I'm very grateful.
