This movie picks up over two decades after the first one. We start with one of the main characters, Dexter who is an entrepreneur with many ideas, and hopes of being rich in the future.
This movie shows us this dream become a failure due to him burning his home with a spray that can make any material flame-retardant. Turns out instead of a fire repellent, he made a fire spray. He tries to go to his sister, but his sister tells him he can’t live with her. That’s when Dexter is walking and he stumbles upon Ed, now a father and owner of Good Burger.
When Dexter asks if he could stay at Ed’s house Ed agrees due to their old friendship. Dexter then becomes an employee at Good Burger, and he starts getting his life back together.
Just when we start thinking it’s going great for Dexter, and Ed, a corporation called MegaCorps interrupts them by giving them a contract to sign. At first, Ed wants to decline, but she tells him that if he signs the contract his employees would get a huge raise. The once distrusting guy trusted the corporation when she told him her intentions. So, Ed signs the contract thinking it is a good idea.
But later on, they find out the true intentions of MegaCorps. In reality all MegaCorp wanted was to replicate the Good Burger’s secret sauce. If they managed to replicate the sauce they could eliminate any threats such as the Good Burger.
Once Ed signs the contract that’s when MegaCorps decides to leave thinking they have dealt with the threat, and would be back soon for the sauce. When they find out MegaCorps real intention, Dexter, Ed, and all the workers decide to create a plan to reclaim ownership back from MegaCorp, because they’ve beat them once and they’ll do it again.
Will they ever claim back GoodBurger?
The only way to know is by watching the movie on Paramount+.
In my opinion, the movie was good. I would give it a 4.2 out of 5.
I recommend watching the first one before the second movie though, so it makes more sense.
