Bob's Burgers: Le film

The Bob's Burgers Movie is an adaptation of one of my favorite TV shows of all time, I was curious and interested to see how they would bring this to the big screen, and it paid off, this movie was a great adaptation of an iconic TV series.

The Bob's Burgers Movie has a wonderful and very interesting plot and it's built like a crime thriller put in a musical comedy, these 4 things blended perfectly with each other and it has surprisingly good musical numbers, that was a fresh new idea and I loved it, this movie is hilarious while also being very suspenseful at times, with high stakes and upgraded animation, and some of the most suspenseful scenes I've seen in years.

The Bob's Burgers Movie is a great adaptation of a perfect TV show, and I'm gonna give it an A-

I'm a big fan of the series and have to admit that my anticipation for the movie has been growing since it's announcement. Whilst I'd be the first to admit that it's not much more than an ambitious episode of the show, for me that was more than enough.

With the bank about to foreclose on their cooking equipment, the last thing that Bob (H Jon Benjamin) and Linda Belcher (John Roberts) need is a giant sinkhole to open right outside the door to the restaurant and stop any customers from getting in. Their misery is compounded when a body is found in the hole and it becomes an active crime scene. Meanwhile all three Belcher children are undergoing a crisis of confidence. Tina (Dan Mintz) is unable to take the next step and ask Jimmy Jnr (Benjamin again) to be her summer boyfriend. Gene (Eugene Mirman) is not as confident that his band are ready for their gig as they might be and Tina (Kristen Schall) is debating whether it's time to finally lose the bunny ears that have been her trademark since preschool.

Animation-wise, like "The Simpsons movie" before it, it sticks close to the style of the show, but add in a few expensive looking 3D CGI scenes for buildings and vehicles. Over the years, the show has become increasingly musical, so it's not surprising that there are several excellent songs in this run. I do think that they were a step up on the songs in the series too, proper catchy numbers.

I would say I thought that the second half of the film was stronger than the first, not that the first half was bad, but it has a lot of work to do to set up the various strands of the story that all come together in the second half. That worked for me though, and the moments I remember laughing at were all generally in that second half.

Do you need to see it on the silver screen? Perhaps not, but when it hits Disney Plus in a couple of months, it's essential viewing.

You really venture out of known territory when you abandon a format, and there is no guarantee that a 1h40m film will be as good as a half-hour show, if made with the same material.

And this film is the proof of that.

The Bob's Burgers Movie has the plot elements of a single Bobs Burgers episode, stretched thin, and filled with mediocre songs.

Honestly, i can tolerate the plot, but i can't take the songs.

The TV show itself has plenty of musical numbers, they are bad, awkward songs that are fun because they are the imagination of the bad, awkward characters that populate the show. It makes no sense to try to flesh them out into full-length, musical-film songs because they lose that sense of horrid charm that they have in the TV show.

My vote: 6/10 - best stick with the show and ignore the movie.

The movie is consistently hilarious throughout the entire run-time. The music was decently enjoyable with just the right amount of songs sprinkled throughout the movie. The plot wasn't super grandiose, but it really didn't need to be. Still larger in scope than the average episode. All the characters were likable and positive too, which isn't common with adult animated shows anymore. Just an amazing time from beginning to end.

Just watched it and it's a great entry for people that haven't seen it. The animation was next level here, and you can see they put much more money into it. The plot and storylines were nice and simple. Great movie!
