''Good Burger'' is a 1997 American comedy film directed by Brian Robbins and starring Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. The film evolved from the comedy sketch "Good Burger" featured on the Nickelodeon series ''All That''. The film was produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions and Nickelodeon Movies and released on July 25, 1997 by Paramount Pictures. The movie has gained a cult following, in spite of receiving a largely mixed to negative critical reception upon release. ==Plot== On the first day of summer, dim-witted but kind-hearted Ed has a nightmare about talking hamburgers. Troubled by it, he shows up late to work at Good Burger. On the same morning, Dexter, a high school student, steals his mother's car after she leaves for a business trip. He accidentally crashes into his teacher Mr. Wheat's car. With no driver's license or insurance, Dexter is liable to go to jail. Wheat agrees that he will not call the police if Dexter pays $1,900 to cover the damage. In need of money, Dexter gets a job at Mondo Burger, but after a clash with the strict manager, Kurt Bozwell, he is fired. Dexter then finds work at Good Burger, where he meets and reluctantly befriends Ed and a slew of colorful employees. Dexter is successful at Good Burger, but his success takes a turn for the worst. Across the street, Mondo Burger opens a new franchise. The oversized burgers they make threaten to put Good Burger out of business until Ed invents a "secret sauce", which improves the restaurant's business. Dexter learns that Ed caused his car accident by darting front of Dexter's car while wearing rollerblades. Dexter then cheats Ed by taking portions of his bonus paychecks earned from the sauce to pay off the debt to Mr. Wheat. Upset that Good Burger is doing so well because of Ed's sauce, Kurt tries to get the recipe, first by enticing Ed to work at Mondo Burger for more money. Dedicated to Good Burger, Ed refuses. Kurt then sends in an attractive employee named Roxanne who fails to seduce Ed into divulging his "secret sauce" recipe. Meanwhile, Dexter takes a shine to coworker Monique, and she eventually agrees to a double date with him along with Ed and Roxanne. The next day, however, Monique breaks up with Dexter after she discovers his attempts to cheat Ed out of his money. Ed and Dexter encounter a dog on the street and attempt to feed it a Good Burger and a Mondo Burger. It eats the former, but refuses to even look at the latter. Suspicious that there is something wrong with the meat, Ed and Dexter disguise themselves as old women and enter Mondo Burger to investigate. The two discover that Mondo is using an illegal food additive called "Triampathol" to make their burgers oversized. Kurt is not fooled by Ed and Dexter's disguises. He kidnaps them and sends them to Demented Hills Mental Hospital to prevent the public from learning Mondo Burger's secret. With Ed and Dexter out of the way, Kurt and his employees break into Good Burger after closing and spike Ed's "secret sauce" with shark poison. When Ed and Dexter's coworker, Otis, attempts to call the police on them, Kurt sends him to Demented Hills as well. There, Otis tells Ed and Dexter about Kurt's scheme to poison the "secret sauce." After getting the entire hospital to break out into song and dance, the trio escapes. They steal an ice cream truck, but are pursued by a Demented Hills van. Ed and Dexter throw ice cream treats at it, causing it to crash. Upon arriving at Good Burger, Ed stops a woman from eating a poisoned burger just in time. Ed and Dexter break into Mondo Burger so they can expose the chemically infused burgers to the police. While Dexter provides a distraction, Ed tries to take a can of Triampathol, but accidentally knocks one into the meat grinder. Ed then decides to pour the rest of the Triampathol into the grinder. On the roof, Kurt catches Ed and Dexter and confiscates the empty Triampathol can. Suddenly, the Triampathol-laden meat begins to explode, and destroys Mondo Burger. The police arrest Kurt for illegal use of the chemical. With the destruction of Mondo Burger, Mr. Wheat's car is destroyed once again, much to Dexter's amusement as he hands him the first half of the money owed for the crash. Dexter apologizes to Ed for taking his money, and both end up on friendly terms. They then walk back to Good Burger, where the employees praise them, especially Ed, as Good Burger heroes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Good Burger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
