Fans Criticize The Amount Of Singing In The Animated Movie

However, the movie failed to please all fans. Many criticized the amount of singing in the movie.

Jim H wrote, “Too sing songs, plot was too predictable. A couple of good jokes, but mostly boring. We were tether disappointed.”

Christie wrote, “I liked the storyline but there was way more singing than I expected or I’d like there to be. It almost seemed like it was being used to fill in empty spaces in the movie.”

Ann M wrote, “Cute. Nothing to write home about. There are great elements and writing, as expected, but it's hard to translate the show format into a movie.”

Julia wrote, “Neither good nor bad, Bob’s Burgers soldiers on, this time on the big screen. It has moments that capture the original charm of the series, but it’s also overwhelmed with tired plot lines already explored in the TV show. Wait until it comes to Hulu, unless you’re a diehard fan.”

Although it might not be scooping up the numbers that “Top Gun: Maverick” is scoring at the box office, it looks like The Bob’s Burgers Movie is still a movie for fans of all ages to enjoy... as long as you don't mind the singing.
