Review:
The Bob's Burgers Movie successfully makes the leap to the big screen by delivering the kind of heart and humor that makes the show so special. Loren Bouchard takes advantage of the larger budget and runtime with fun song and dance numbers and refined animation which leaves the Belcher's looking better than ever. The plot is a hodgepodge of storylines which gives each of the family members a solid story arch that builds on their characters in fun and meaningful ways. The script smartly toes the line by giving long time fans of the show plenty of callback and references but it never does so in way that makes it inaccessible to people unfamiliar with the show. Its a large enough story to warrant the movie treatment as such it never feels like a supersized episode. The regular voice cast lead by H. Jon Benjamin all prove they're up to the challenge by delivering funny but heartfelt performances. The Bob's Burgers Movie is in the upper echelon of cinematic adaptions in the same category as The Simpsons and South Park.
