Good Burger is a 1997 American teen comedy film directed by Brian Robbins, written by Dan Schneider with Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert, and starring Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, and Abe Vigoda. It is based on the comedy sketch of the same name on the Nickelodeon series All That, with Mitchell reprising his role. The story follows a high school student who takes a job at a fast food restaurant called Good Burger in order to pay off the damages he made to his teacher's car.

Dexter Reed (Kenan Thompson) is a high school student who is forced to get a summer job at a fast food restaurant called Good Burger after causing a car accident with his teacher Mr. Wheat (Josh Server). With no driver's license or car insurance, Dexter is in danger of going to jail, but Mr. Wheat agrees to let him pay for the damage in exchange for not calling the police on him. With the damage estimated at $1,900 (which later becomes $2,500), Dexter decides to take a summer job to pay for the expenses.

After being fired from the new and soon-to-open Mondo Burger restaurant for clashing with the owner and manager, Kurt Bozwell (Jan Schweiterman), he ends up working for Good Burger instead. There, he meets and reluctantly befriends the dimwitted but well meaning cashier Ed (Kel Mitchell) alongside its other employees.

Ed is a kind-hearted but dim-witted cashier who is obsessed with Good Burger's secret sauce. Ed is always trying to help Dexter, but he often ends up making things worse.

Dexter and Ed soon become friends, and they work together to save Good Burger from Mondo Burger. Mondo Burger is a new, more popular fast food restaurant that is trying to put Good Burger out of business. Dexter and Ed come up with a plan to create a new secret sauce that will be better than Mondo Burger's.

In the end, Dexter and Ed's new secret sauce is a success, and Good Burger is saved. Dexter also pays off his debt to Mr. Wheat, and he is able to keep his driver's license.

Good Burger is a fun and lighthearted film that is sure to please fans of the All That sketch. It is a film about friendship, overcoming adversity, and the power of food.
