Movie review: ‘The Bob’s Burgers Movie’ feels a little undercooked as animated series jumps to big screen

We’re going to tip-toe way out on a limb here: The folks who will most enjoy “The Bob’s Burgers Movie” are the longtime fans of the TV series that has spawned it, “Bob’s Burgers.”

And there must be more of them than we’d realized, what with the Loren Bouchard-created animated comedy series remaining on the air since its debut on Fox in January 2011. (Honestly, as we’ve gravitated toward a heavy diet of streaming fare, we’re not sure we even knew it was still going.)

The offbeat show about a family-run burger joint is not without its charms, of course. It’s built around the appealing if odd Belcher family led by Bob (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) and his upbeat wife, Linda (John Roberts). It is rounded out by three children: boy-crazy Tina (Dan Mintz), affable Gene (Eugene Mirman) and precocious Louise (Kristen Schaal).
