The Belchers clan has joined the ranks of The Simpsons and the South Park gang and made the leap from the small to the big screen. As a Bob’s Burgers fan, I’ve been looking forward to this latest adventure and was a bit surprised, yet not disappointed.
The Bob’s Burgers Movie is a glorified extended episode of the popular television series and that’s what makes it work. The gang doesn’t fall into typical television to big screen gimmicks. Staying true to its television roots in every way that matters, but the expanded scope allows this musical, murder, mystery to breathe and entertain organically.
Staying largely with the main characters and locations from the show we’re treated to an entertaining Bob’s Burgers experience that is sure to delight fans.
On that note, I can’t really say how non-fans will react to this one. It may play well, or it may not. Lack of familiarity may possibly detract from the viewing experience. I can’t say for sure though. With the film being as well written and acted, that may not even be an issue.
The Bob’s Burgers Movie is exciting, funny, thrilling, quirky and one-hour forty-two minutes well spent. Escapism at its best.
But, once again, don’t leave too soon. There’s a cute bonus scene after the credits.
The Bob’s Burgers Movie is a solid 9 from me.
