So, this was a childhood favorite of mine. I wasn't an avid watcher of it, I would just rent the VHS every so often. However, it's been about eight or nine or ten years since. While at BJs Megastore, I spotted the DVD for an extremely low price ($3.99), so I decided to buy it. I re- watched it the same night, and now I appreciate it more. Now, the movie's about Dexter, a punk-like kid played by Kenan Thompson, leaving school to start off his summer, with an exciting one planned. Unfortunately, he hits into his teacher's car and he needs to pay off the debt of the damage on the car of his teacher (Sinbad). So, he is employed at a Good Burger, befriends a laid-back and goofy employee, Ed (played by Kel Mitchell), and from there, hilarity ensues. This movie is a lot of fun, believe it or not, and a REALLY fast way to kill an hour- and-a-half. The jokes are actually VERY funny, and some references that work...work! There was even a reference to Lassie, which is one of my favorite jokes in the movie. Their competition, Mondo Burger, are very unlikeable characters, which they were supposed to be, so they achieved at that. If there's anything I didn't like, it's that the scene in the mental institute seemed to drag on a bit too long, although it did establish that Abe Vigoda's character actually had a reason in the movie, not just another side-character. Also, some acting here and there is lackluster, but it doesn't take away from the movie too much. Also, the DVD contains no special features whatsoever. Although some, most rather, dislike it, claim it's a terrible movie, give it a try. It's a lot of fun, and they actually made a short skit on All That extended and not seem too long and drawn out. Give it a try, you might like it, and even if you don't; Hey, it was cheap!
