The unexpected sequel to the movie Good Burger (1997) that was based on the skit from the 1994 Nickelodeon show called All That; the first movie Good Burger (1997) was ok but even though it had some good comedy in it, it was not that funny despite actors Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson giving good performances, and now we have the sequel I was not expecting. I thought Good Burger 2 (2023) was a bit better than the first but not completely better; the return of the lead actors Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson was nice to see back in the roles, there were a few more things I found funny, and despite there still being issues, I liked how things have changed since the first film.
Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson once again as Ed and Dexter are still good in the roles, and they work well together; Ed is still not that smart like before, but he has a family, runs Good Burger, and calls all the shots to what happens to Good Burger building which I found interesting for the character and how much he changed since the first. Dexter is now known for inventing things that does not turn out well, which leads him going back to working at Good Burger with his friend Ed; I thought it was interesting that his character went to inventing things with him having a corporation before he loses it because of money issues, along with him helping Ed to get back Good Burger after an incident accidentally selling it to a big corporation. Plus, all the performances are over the top like the first film, but it is not too in your face, along with the new workers at Good Burger being different but like how the older workers acted.
The villains involve Jillian Bell and Lil Rel Howery who wants Ed to sign over Good Burger with his special sauce to them and have robots that all look like Ed to take orders, make the food, and serve it, while making the original Good Burger workers unemployed; Jillian Bell's character has a reason for doing this I will not spoil, but it connects to the villain of the first movie, and Lil Rel Howery's character is the one that convinces Ed and Dexter to sign over Good Burger, both giving over the top performances but not bad ones. The comedy in the movie was funny mostly because I did not know what to expect, but some of the movie felt like side stories or like an episode of a show that does not connect much to the plot, and though there were quite a few funny moments, there were still comedy moments that did not fully work but they were not painful to watch.
A lot of people who like the original first movie will like this sequel, along with them liking that they get to see Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson work together again; Good Burger 2 (2023) had comedy that more often but not the whole movie, with good performances from Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson, and some development of the characters years later. I thought the first movie Good Burger (1997) was ok with a little bit of the comedy working, so that is why I thought Good Burger 2 (2023) was a little bit better, but not by much, because it is like the first movie in a way with the callbacks. If you were not a fan of the first movie, then you will not like this movie, but if you are a fan of the first film, then you will like this sequel that took 26 years to come out.
