"The adult bookstore?"
Bob's Burgers may not have been the most obvious animated TV property to spawn a big screen adventure (come on, Family Guy!), but here it does so by keeping it relatively small-scale and staying largely true to the quirky downbeat parent show. The movie finds the family business under threat (again) from the bank and the appearance of a huge sinkhole right in front of the restaurant's entrance, which leads to a murder-mystery plotline that extends it beyond TV-length but which makes the middle section of the film drag noticeably. The relentlessly rapid-fire dialogue and screechy delivery that is just about tolerable for a TV episode does stretch the patience over movie length, as does its overwritten lack of momentum, but where it scores are in the moments of smaller family interactions that would work just as well in a regular episode.
