Customer Reviews

Great documentary
Saw this on Sundance or IFC channel channel last night. Every captivating story of every hamburger joint is a joy to behold. Each place is so unique so individual and the people who have run them for generations are so passionate about what they do it is downright inspiring. Think I'll pass on the butter burger and the one with melted peanut butter. Everything else made me terribly hungry.

Cheeborger! Cheeborger!
One of the warmest, most pleasantly lip-smacking film's ever!
Made by a guy with a super-sized heart, AMERICA is a joyous
celebration of the burger, and the down-home folks who create
some of the most wonderfully odd versions of it. Take it from
someone who has the HAMBURGER AMERICA poster hanging up - this
little treasure is a home library essential.

Hot and Greasy, but well worth it.
I saw this documentary last weekend at the River Run Film Festival in Winston Salem and it was a smash hit. George Motz did a superb job of uncovering one of our most treasured cultural icons in an entertaining and hillarious way, and that is saying a lot coming from a vegetarian. This guy has definitely got a great career ahead of him.
