Stars: 5/5 ⭐️So, this was surprisingly darker than any of the episodes of Bob's Burgers, but I still loved it, because it was able to keep its light and optimistic tone throughout the movie. And for those uninitiated, The Bob's Burgers Movie is a movie spin-off/continuation, since it will lead the show into season 22, about a family named the Belchers, where there's Bob, voiced by H. Jon Benjamin, Linda, voiced by John Roberts, Gene, voiced by Eugene Mirman, Louise, voiced by Kristen Schaal, and Tina voiced by Dan Mintz, and they all work in their family restaurant Bob's Burgers. But the premise of this movie, which has been led up to in season 21 is that there is a giant sinkhole that opens up right in front of the entrances of the restaurant, and to make matters worse, Louise goes into the sinkhole and finds a dead body, so now the kids decide to solve the murder, so their landlord, who's convicted of the crime, doesn't go to jail, so Bob and Linda don't have to pay rent, so they can pay back the bank, or they might lose their house since their apartment is above the restaurant, very much big city vibes in that regard, where they live by the waterside, in an unnamed town, but it very closely resembles San Francisco in my opinion. But back to the movie, while the kids try to solve the murder, Bob and Linda have to get creative when it comes to selling burgers, and they work with their friend, Teddy, voiced by Larry Murphy, where they decide to sell burgers down at Wonder Wharf, which is like Pier 39 in San Francisco. There's lots of drama that happens between the two storylines, but then the parents' and the kids' stories collide when the kids solve the murder, it gets really interesting because the family must work together to escape a murderer. Yes, a murderer, not a typical Bob's Burgers episode at all, however, what was typical, and hilarious was when the Belcher family was being held captive, they all sing about how they were feeling. Also, I should say, this show is a semi-musical show. It's not like every episode has a song, but maybe like 25 to 33 percent do, and sometimes the songs don't work, sometimes they do, as they're all comedic songs, but also in line with the plot, the movies songs were incredible, where they just worked on all levels, from musical composition to lyrics, to the situations the characters were in, and the absurdity it is to sing in those situations. Also, the animation is just next level, compared to the tv show, but that makes sense since this movie definitely got a bigger budget, however, if you're used to watching Bob's Burgers in the normal tv format, you might not like that it's the movie format, which makes sense, but since this is like an extended Bob's Burgers episode, it gets some getting used to. But what the movie set up for the 22nd season, I've very excited, because hopefully, it will lead into summer, where some series long plot lines like Tina trying to get with her crush, Jimmy Jr. voiced also by H. Jon Benjamin, finally having them possibly get together. There really aren't any other big ones, except for actually the opening credit sequence, as it starts with the re-re-re opening of the restaurant, and since the restaurant gets closed because of a sinkhole, it will now be the re-re-re-re opening of the restaurant. So, in all, The Bob's Burgers Movie is spectacular, and you will especially love it if you like the show. It's a family friend for sure, but the comedy is so sharp, with its one lines and physical gags, that it will have everyone in the family laughing for sure.
