Stupid but Amusing 80's Comedy
31 August 2014
Hamburger: The Motion Picture is a formulaic but somewhat strange 80's comedy about a young man who gets kicked out of several colleges for public sex so he must attend a hamburger chain management school to get a college degree and gain access to his trust fund. The film has some T&A and a few funny sex scenes along with some great set pieces related to the almost cult-like Busterburger University (an obvious takeoff of McDonald's U). They have some inventive gags with the university's over the top obsession with making everything hamburger related.

The main drawbacks are the inanely stupid nonsensical plot and side plot. The drill sergeant-like student adviser Droogin (played by a wonderfully scene chewing Dick Butkus) seems to be setting all the students up for failure for no particular reason with no motivation for him to do so. There are tons of plot holes and the ending is idiotic.

This is definitely for the hardcore corny 80's sex comedy fans although the opening theme song is unintentionally amazing, like Bruce Springsteen doing a ridiculous tribute to hamburgers.
