The
film’s
logline
reads:

Dexter
Reed
(Thompson)
is
down
on
his
luck
after
another
one
of
his
inventions
fails.
Ed
(Mitchell)
welcomes
Dex
back
to
Good
Burger
with
open
arms
and
gives
him
his
old
job
back.
With
a
new
crew
working
at
Good
Burger,
Dex
devises
a
plan
to
get
back
on
his
feet
but
unfortunately
puts
the
fate
of
Good
Burger
at
risk
once
again.

“I
can’t
believe
it’s
been
a
little
over
25
years
since
great
customer
service
was
born
at
Good
Burger!”
Thompson
said
in
a
statement.
“Being
a
part
of
something
so
many
generations
of
people
have
come
to
love
has
made
me
so
proud
and
now
to
be
back
where
it
all
began
working
on
the
sequel
is
surreal!
Love
performing
with
my
brother
Kel
and
can’t
wait
to
show
the
fans
what
these
characters
have
been
up
to
since
we
last
saw
them.”

Mitchell
added,
“Ed
is
one
of
those
timeless
characters
that
has
brought
so
much
joy
and
laughter
to
fans,
and
it’s
such
a
beautiful
blessing
to
still
be
doing
it
after
all
these
years.
It’s
super
awesome
to
come
back
and
continue
the
stories
of
Dex,
Ed
and
Good
Burger
for
both
the
people
who
grew
up
watching
and
their
kids.”

“We’re
thrilled
to
take
audiences’
orders
for
more
laughter
and
adventures
with
the
‘Good
Burger’
crew,”
said

‘All
