Good Burger 2 was made well-done, expertly catered to the cravings of those hungry for a special combo of nostalgia and laughter. Retaining its characteristic goofy sense of humor, the movie remained true to the first Good Burger with its campy cinema style. 

Although filled with shoddy special effects, absurd plotlines, and childish jokes, this film was actually a true standout from the modern deluge of soulless sequels. It embraced its so-called “bad” qualities and in doing so, became an excellent and enjoyable film to watch. It wasn’t afraid to poke fun at itself and this feeling of lighthearted fun shone through, refreshing the human spirit like a nice ice-cold fountain soda.

The film adhered to the structure of the original plotline of Good Burger and featured many cameos of old characters like Fizz and random celebrities such as Rob Gronkowski, Mark Cuban, and even Yung Gravy. The story was easy to follow and was presented in a slow, yet engaging way from start to finish.

Alongside an onslaught of comical gags and jokes, insightful commentary about modern topics was unexpectedly served. Good Burger 2 tackled many issues that many viewers of its original film, Good Burger, now faced as grown-ups. Familial turmoil, the growing-apart of friendships, the stress of work, and the worry of AI overtaking jobs were all serious matters recognized by the film and represented in hilarious, yet moving fashion. 

While critics may disparage the film on the basis of it lacking depth and production quality, I’d argue that they’re seeking to find a five-course meal at a burger joint. Sometimes you just want to have a stomach full of lighthearted-laughter and watching Good Burger 2 is an excellent way to provide that satisfaction.
