Dexter takes a job at the struggling fast-food restaurant, Good Burger. At Good Burger, Dexter meets Ed (Mitchell), a kind but brainless employee. When the rival Mondo Burger moves in next door, Dexter and Ed come up with a plan to save Good Burger. Good Burger is like comfort food — it will put a smile on your face.

Big Daddy (1999)
Before he became a Netflix stalwart, Sandler was one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars. During his climb to the top, Sandler starred in the charming Big Daddy, a comedy about a slacker who tries to be a father. After losing his girlfriend to an older man, Sonny Koufax (Adam Sandler) needs to make a change.
When a young kid named Julian (Dylan and Cole Sprouse) shows up on his door, Sonny sees it as a chance to prove he can be a responsible adult. Mixed in with the lewd humor is the heartwarming message about fatherhood and aging. The Sandman loves his happy endings.
