Burger Movie: Hamburger…The Motion Picture

A movie called “Hamburger”?  Why do I not recall seeing this?

From Wikipedia:

Hamburger… The Motion Picture is a 1986 comedy directed by Mike Marvin and starring Leigh McCloskey. In the film, main character Russell (played by McCloskey) has been expelled from multiple schools because of his crude behavior. To be able to collect his trust fund, he needs to earn a college diploma. He decides to attend Buster Burger University, a school for prospective new fast food franchise owners. Dick Butkus plays the university teacher.

Check out the trailer here:

Burger Movie: Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle was one of the funniest movies of 2004.  It boosted the careers of John Cho and Kal Penn, as well as featuring the epic return of Neil Patrick Harris.

From Wikipedia:

“Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (released in some countries as Harold & Kumar Get the Munchies) is a 2004 stoner-buddy comedy film. Its plot revolves around the title characters, who decide to go to the fast food franchise White Castle after smoking cannabis, but end up on a series of comical misadventures when they cannot find the restaurant.”

Here’s the trailer:

Too bad the sequel wasn’t as funny, but I think they are planning on having a third adventure, so hopefully that one will be better.

Burger Movie: Good Burger

How many movies involve burgers? Well here is one of them… Good Burger!

From Wikipedia:

“Good Burger is a 1997 American comedy film by Nickelodeon Movies produced by Paramount Pictures, directed by Brian Robbins, and starring Kenan and Kel, featuring Sinbad, Shar Jackson, Abe Vigoda, and Jan Schweiterman. The film was based on a recurring sketch on Nickelodeon’s sketch show All That. Carmen Electra, Shaquille O’Neal, and George Clinton also make cameo appearances.”

“Ed (Kel Mitchell) is a comically clueless and unintelligent fast food attendant working at the titular restaurant. Ed discovers that there is competition with Good Burger when another restaurant, Mondo Burger, is built across the street. However, the Good Burger manager, Mister Bailey, is slightly worried about the new restaurant and encourages the employees to not give up their hopes. Meanwhile, Dexter Reed (Kenan Thompson) is a teenage slacker who believes he can spend the rest of the summer partying.”
