I am not the target audience for this type of movie. I only got it, on DVD, because my public library added it. So all it "cost" me was perhaps 90 minutes of my retiree time. I didn't watch the original "Good Burger" so all I had was to judge this one on its own merits.
I usually know if I am invested in a movie after 15 minutes. At 9 minutes into this one I was pretty sure I would not. It was confirmed after 15 minutes. Where to start?
It opens with Ed having a dream, it turns out he was asleep on the counter of Good Burger. Then when he starts talking he has what might be the most annoying voice ever in a move role. Then it degrades from there.
There is a story, of risking everything, even the money of friends and family, for a chemical that renders a home impossible to burn. In the inaugural demonstration, complete with audience in lawn chairs, including investor Mark Cuban, it fails badly.
The rest of the movie is to save face and reject a plan to have the Good Burger sold.
Frankly I don't know who the audience might be for this movie. The characters are overly silly, the story is overly silly, and the resolution is overly silly. For me, a big, big miss.
