  • Female employees at Mondo burger wear uniforms with short skirts
  • Dexter makes a joke after ed asks Dexter if he wants to hang out. After Dexter says yes ed says 'do you wanna see my special place?' Dexter replied with 'that's not what I had in mind!' This implies that Dexter thought ed meant his private parts.
  • Roxanne, a shapely woman in a tightfitting, short dress, tries to seduce Ed for his secret sauce recipe. When she enters Good Burger, Otis stares at her butt. She then tells Ed, "You're so hot" and "I am hungry, but not for food. I'm hungry for you." Later she tells him, "I'll give you anything you want" in exchange for the recipe.

Violence & Gore

  • In the beginning scene, a teenage boy rollerblades recklessly through a variety of obstacles, first, he bump into a women while they doing jump rope and tied her shoe, making her head hit on the road several times. And then, nearly running over a woman with a baby but instead grabbing the baby only to careen out of control until he hits a group of men playing basketball, who then grab the baby and accidentally slam dunk it (the baby is fine).
  • The whole plot of the film, is how a teenager drives a car without a license or insurance and causes a wreck by accident, but is on the hook to pay for the damage.
  • The movie contains some cartoonish/comic violence largely centered on sight gags and slapstick pratfalls.
  • Funny scares for laughs

Profanity

  • There are few mild languages, some hurtful phrases and name calling.
  • An old man gets up off the floor and says, "You broke my ass".
  • An irate customer says "I'll see you in hell!" to Ed.
  • 1 ass, 1 hell, 2 uses of crap, 1 sucks, and 1 incomplete "What the...." used as exclamations.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The villains were implied to be using an illegal chemical to enlarge their burgers, as well as using a synthetic toxin for Ed's sauce to sabotage business.

Sex & Nudity

  • Two teenage men cross dress
  • When Dexter tackles Ed to the ground to prevent him from revealing the secret recipe to his sauce, Ed says "Look, I like you as a friend and all but..." and gets cut off after thinking he was trying to kiss him

Violence & Gore

  • Dexter attacks Mondo Burger employees with ketchup and mustard guns (for comedic effect)
  • Ed pour all of illegal chemical in the patty machine, causing the patty explosion and destroying the Mondo Burger. No one is injured, but the scene is pretty intense for some viewers.
  • Ed abuses Roxanne (due to clumsiness, not malice; ie- hits her with minigolf club on his backswing). And Roxanne gets seriously injured. Played for laughs.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The sequence of Mondo Burger's destruction can be frightening for younger viewers.
  • In another scene, hamburger patties explode, causing everyone panic and running for their lives as they trying to run away from hazardous danger situations. We see the kitchen getting out of control, lot of crash, building shaking, everyone getting out, furniture falling down to the ground, electrical explosion, light titles fall down, and the giant burger fall to the car and crash. This is very frightening, and intense for viewers due it the intense music.
