Good Burger (1997)
Director: Brian Robbins
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
This TV spinoff asks us to root for the trash food joint of the title, and specifically its hero, Ed (Mitchell), an exceptionally annoying imbecile. The staff of Good Burger are more adept at driving out would-be customers with execrable puns than serving their orders, so the bad boys across the road at Mondo Burger need no help in driving their small fry rivals out of business. Enter Dexter (Thompson), a more conventionally wayward adolescent than Ed, who needs to work through the school vacation to pay off the insurance on two sportscars he's wrecked. Dexter notes that Ed makes very nice homemade burger sauce, and suddenly Good Burger is back in business. Few people can be so big-hearted as to tolerate Ed's agonising brand of pedantic humour.Author: NB
