'Good Burger 2' follows the return of Ed and Dexter as they reunite to help save the iconic and much loved fast-food restaurant, 'Good Burger' from falling into the wrong hands. Also introducing a new generation of employees.
Going into this movie, I made sure to keep my expectations tame. At the end of the day it is a reboot/sequel, that typically are either hit or miss. However, I was intrigued by nostalgia. But I must say... This film is a big MISS.
Firstly, there are the odd moments sprinkled throughout the film that pay homage to the original. Which I did appreciate having grown up with the first movie. However, I didn't really enjoy myself whilst watching. The film suffers as it's overloaded with too much modern day pop culture references and a mediocre plot.
There are a few story elements included in this movie that I find myself either irritated by, or just don't understand the reason to include such themes. For example, Ed's children. There's like 8 of them, and one just so happens to be an exact copy and paste of Ed. Overly dumbed down with a raspy voice. I found this to be a rather annoying inclusion.
Another pet peeve of this film, is the random inclusion of celebrity cameos. There is a whole montage of self-recorded footage of random celebrities singing about Good Burger? This movie also had mini random musical sequences that came out of nowhere.
The new characters in this film also serve little to no purpose. Perhaps one of the more uninteresting parts of this movie. Which is sad, as I would've hoped to have left the film having enjoyed some of the fresh choices they introduced.
To conclude, I severely wasted my time watching 'Good Burger 2' if you're intrigued in the slightest. Just rewatch the first. Save yourself the headache.
