Of all the animated television shows to adapt into a feature film, Bob\u2019s Burgers<\/em> might not be the first and most obvious one to leap to mind. While the program is hilarious if one can get on its unique wavelength, the eccentric deadpan humor and tiny restaurant setting doesn\u2019t seem like something requiring an epic cinematic opus. The makers of The Bob\u2019s Burgers Movie<\/em> have clearly decided to keep the same oddball, low-key humor, adding in a few extravagances for the big screen. Thankfully, the approach works and those who enjoy the series will find this wonderfully weird and quirky effort to be a welcome addition to the franchise.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Struggling restaurant owner Bob Belcher (H. Jon Benjamin)\nand wife Linda (John Roberts) find themselves in deep financial straits when\nthey realize a huge bank loan is due. Short on funds needed to keep their\nbusiness afloat, things get worse when a water main breaks and an enormous\nsinkhole blocks entry into their restaurant. Meanwhile, daughter Tina (Dan\nMintz) desperately wants Jimmy Jr. (also voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) to be her\nsummer boyfriend, but is too afraid to make the first move. And youngest child\nLouise (Kristen Schaal) struggles after being called a \u201cbaby\u201d at school for\ncontinuing to wear her bunny-themed headgear. When something startling is\ndiscovered in the sinkhole, Tina, Louise and Gene (Eugene Mirman) decide to\nhelp their parents and resolve their own issues by solving the sinkhole\nmystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Belcher\u2019s first cinematic effort benefits greatly from\nits upgraded visuals. The animation is far more striking here than it is on the\nsmall screen, with eye-popping widescreen backdrops and elaborate high-angle\nshots of the characters and locations. The creative images on display add extra\nscale and importance to the proceedings, even if the characters themselves are\nmore often than not concerned with personal (and trivial) matters. In fact,\neverything on display in the movie is flashier, including some extended musical\nnumbers with wonderful, longer shots of the leads dancing and busting moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admittedly, those unfamiliar with the show will undoubtedly\nbe baffled by what they see. The movie does little to indoctrinate newcomers to\nits world or brand of humor. But those acquainted with the source material will\nfind plenty to their liking. One of the best jokes involves an amusingly\nstrange fantasy from the teenage mind of Tina that includes talking horses,\nundead figures and Jimmy Jr. wiggling his rear (moviegoers can wait for a\ncallback after the credits). As the investigation takes the kids into the world\nof amusement park carnies, it results in a few entertainingly awkward exchanges\nwith suspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Other familiar series characters like Sergeant Bosco (Gary\nCole), Calvin Fischoeder (Kevin Kline) and Felix Fischoeder (Zach Galifianakis)\nall have their moments and make a strong impression. And there is always an\noff-handed comment that raises a chuckle, or funny signage present in the\nbackground\u2026 a school \u201cSwim Club\u201d poster is another stand out. Impressively\nenough, the movie\u2019s climax features an elaborate chase and a couple of\nsequences that border on action (albeit with a very comedic bent). And on a\nmore dramatic note, there is even a moving and warm-hearted origin story for\nLouise\u2019s bunny ears and her emotional ties to them, earning the film even more\npoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, those who don\u2019t know the show will have difficulty adapting to the movie\u2019s unusual rhythms. However, fans of the program can expect a fine product that is, in many ways, comparable to The Simpsons Movie<\/em> in terms of overall effectiveness. The Bob\u2019s Burgers Movie<\/em> is an enjoyably idiosyncratic animated effort from a major studio that somehow manages to maintain a completely unique and distinctive voice in its translation to the big screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
