The Bob's Burgers Movie Review: A Super-Sized Episode (In A Good Way)
Based on the Bob's Burgers TV show that's been running since 2011 — and is set to continue in the upcoming season 13 — The Bob's Burgers Movie brings the Belcher family to the big screen for the first time. Directed by series creator Loren Bouchard and the show's supervising director Bernard Derriman, The Bob's Burgers Movie is based on a script written by Bouchard and Nora Smith (Central Park). Bob's Burgers follows in the footsteps of shows like The Simpsons, which got its own big-screen movie, but Bouchard puts an entirely Belcher twist on the form. The Bob's Burgers Movie struggles to keep up the energetic pace set early on, but overall packs in plenty of jokes and musical numbers for a fun time.
The Bob's Burgers Movie finds Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and Linda Belcher (John Roberts) struggling to make the latest payment on their business loan, but the 80th anniversary celebration at the Wonder Warf promises plenty of burger business. However, when a sinkhole opens up in front of the restaurant, making it difficult to attract customers, Bob and Linda have to get creative in order to make ends meet. Meanwhile, Louise (Kristen Schaal) is on a mission to prove to her classmates she's not a baby and recruits Tina (Dan Mintz) and Gene (Eugene Mirman) to help her solve a murder when a body is discovered in the newly opened sinkhole. The adventure takes them all over their town and digging into the history of Wonder Warf, as well as its owner Calvin Fischoeder (Kevin Kline).
