Okay, let's talk about something important. Something REALLY important. It involves burgers, family, and maybe a little bit of singing. I'm talking about The Bob's Burgers Movie!
Remember all that hype? The trailers? The promise of Belcher family chaos on the big screen? Yeah, good times.
So, When Did This Burger-y Goodness Actually Arrive?
The answer is: It already happened! The Bob's Burgers Movie hit theaters May 27, 2022.
That's right, folks. It's been a while. You didn't dream it. Unless… maybe I dreamed it?
But seriously, if you're asking when it's coming out, you might be living under a very delicious, albeit burger-scented, rock.
Was It Worth the Wait?
This is where things get interesting. This is where my maybe-unpopular opinion comes in. Deep breaths, everyone.
The movie was...fine. Good, even. But did it live up to the years of anticipation? Hmmm…
Don't get me wrong, I love the Belchers. Tina's horse obsession, Louise's schemes, Gene's… Gene-ness. All of it!
But something about the movie felt…a little flat? Like a burger that sat out too long.
Maybe it was the plot. Maybe it was the musical numbers. Maybe my expectations were just too high.
"It's like they took a really good episode and stretched it out,"someone told me. I think that sums it up nicely.
And hey, maybe YOU loved it! That's totally valid. We can still be friends. We can even share fries!
Where Can You Watch It Now?
Don't worry, you haven't completely missed the boat. The Bob's Burgers Movie is available on streaming.
You can usually find it on services like Hulu or available for purchase or rent on platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, or Apple TV.
So, grab some burgers (maybe not from Bob's, just in case of sinkholes), settle in, and judge for yourself!
Is it a cinematic masterpiece? Maybe not. Is it a fun way to spend a couple of hours with your favorite animated family? Probably!
Unpopular Opinion: The Show Is Better
Okay, here it is. My full confession. I think the show is better.
There. I said it. The episodic format allows for more character development and wacky scenarios.
Each episode is a little bite-sized piece of Belcher family mayhem. The movie felt… like trying to eat a whole burger in one bite. Overwhelming!
I'll take a well-seasoned "Hamburger Dinner Dance" or a "Topsy" any day of the week.
But hey, that's just my opinion! Maybe you think the movie is the bee's knees. And that's perfectly fine too.
The important thing is we all love Bob's Burgers in some way, shape, or form. Right?
So, whether you loved the movie, hated the movie, or haven't even seen the movie, let's raise a glass (of soda, because I'm responsible) to the Belchers!
May their burgers always be… somewhat edible. And may their adventures always be… endearingly chaotic.
And please, someone tell Louise to stop digging holes. For everyone's sake.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch "Flu-ouise." Don't judge me.
