Hamburger: The Motion Picture plot

"...it's funny enough to eat!"

Russell (Leigh McCloskey) fails to complete his university studies because he keeps falling prey to female beauty. However, he must pass to get his inheritance, so he has no choice but to try the twelve weeks of hamburger college. One of the teachers wants to give the students a bad time.

Police Academy could still be taken "seriously", but what Hamburger: The Motion Picture shows is really strange. A university where students are prepared to become the manager of a Busterburger chain.

Of course this degenerates into fun and sex, something that also happens in a normal university.

Sometimes the jokes are funny, but most of the time they miss the mark. The direction is not much, but in the end this was a nice clone of PA!

2.5*

It is a kind of Police Academy that takes place at Hamburger University. But where The Police Academy starts from a realistic basis (training recruits), that is not the case for Hamburger University. For a University, it is more like a military drill - including heavily armed security patrolling the campus. Of course a lot of characters who register at the University, and thus have to mask a lack of story. The gratuitous nudity at the beginning of the film should probably also prevent viewers from dropping out too quickly.

Two nice action scenes: the one with the helicopter and the one where the case is dismantled.

Furthermore, we have to make do with funny characters, bad jokes, bad jokes and a bad screenplay.

Well Bobbejaantje has summarised it quite nicely, it starts off nicely with that scene at school but as soon as the hamburger training starts the level drops below freezing point, the jokes are so banal and exaggerated that it becomes embarrassing, the sex scenes are Oscar material in comparison.
