Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Kenan and Kel share a wonderful comic chemistry that has a lot in common with the anarchic goofiness of Abbott and Costello or Martin and Lewis, leavened with a good deal more mutual affection. Read full review

Anita Gates

When Mr. Mitchell says it, it's hysterically funny. And he's immensely likable. Read full review

Gene Seymour

Good Burger, K&K's inevitable first movie, will satisfy their audience's appetite for basic, messy silliness while leaving many grown-ups mildly bemused by the fuzzy obviousness of its humor, the gawky pacing of its sight gags and the second-handedness of its slapstick--almost all of which is redeemed by the eager but never cloying charm of its two stars.

Matthew Gilbert

It's a neighborhood comedy for kids that squanders the high energy of a group of young actors on a stubbornly unimaginative script. [25 July 1997, p.C5]

Mick LaSalle

Movies don't get worse than Good Burger, a wretched little comedy. It's a movie that inspires wonder -- at how it got made and released. Read full review

As a man with acumen to actually understand the film I can say it is absolutely astounding. I do however understand that people with a much lower intelligence quotient can not understand the humor however I pay no mind to such lowbrows.
