The best part of The Bob’s Burgers Movie, however, wasn’t a reference to an episode that aired three years ago, or a daring musical number. As always, the true strength of Bob’s Burgers lies in the love the family unit has for each other. Each member of the Belcher family is a weirdo in their own specific way, and in turn, each member of the Belcher family is accepted by their family and loved for being a weirdo. It’s oddly touching for a show that features a character who writes erotic zombie fan fiction. In moments of true struggle, the Belchers always find a way to come through for each other. Even the perpetually morose Bob manages to uplift his family when he’s needed. It’s that bond and the knowledge that these people love each other deeply that elevates this film above typical quirky cartoons.
Verdict: The Bob’s Burgers Movie is like a burger from your favorite fast food place—not really nutritious, but it hits the spot just the same.
