Good Burger 2 ’s biggest strength — how perfectly it recreates the fun and temper of its predecessor — is also its biggest issue . In many way , Good Burger 2hits most of the same major beats of the firstGood Burger , such as Dexter being a down - on - his - luck schemer looking to make a quick one dollar bill , Ed being an impossibly naive but ridiculously lovable jackass who lends Dexter a helping hand , a rival burger chemical chain threatening to put Good Burger out of business , and even a surprisal Good Burger delivery to a major famous person .

Hibbert ) also append to the spell ofGood Burger 2,with Ed demonstrate the up - and - number Good Burger employee the rope in every comedic means he can .
Aside from its require comedic jinks , Good Burger 2is also on topic regarding the use of A.I. and mechanization being central elements of Mega Good Burger ’s business model . Good Burger 2has some surprisingly relevant ( if not precisely insidious ) level to make about robotics and mechanisation potentially replacing human worker in the service industry , most made by Mitchell ’s Ed . by nature , Ed and robo - Ed alike get their thought on the issue across in ways that are both convincing and befittingly hilarious .
Good Burger 2does what every bequest sequel sets out to do — it gives its audience a strong touch sensation of nostalgia while bringing new characters and conception into the mix . The flick mostly succeeds as a goofy family - friendly romp just in metre for the holiday time of year . confessedly , Good Burger 2does hew a bit too tight to the canonic story structure and overall templet of the firstGood Burger .
