 Great documentary July 6, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
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.

Whether you love hamburgers (grilled, boiled, covered with green chiles, or slobbered with butter), love movies about Americana, or just love human stories, this movie is for you. I went to the New York release last week and was among the hundreds of people who couldn't get enough; the hour was too short. I am buying three copies today for friends and will keep returning to this whenever I want a gift that will make people laugh and think. The film reminded me of how you don't need to leave the country to learn about people's differences; just traveling from New Haven to Santa Fe to Meers (Oklahoma) to Chicago with this documentary does the trick. I highly recommend this to you--for yourself and those you want to make happy.

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.

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.

Great documentary! This is one of those documentaries that'll make you want to drive across country just to get a burger at one of these joints.
There was one burger, the goober burger (Sedalia, MO): "NO way...absolutely no way will I ever eat one of those," I said. Thrity minutes later my husband place one of his beautiful hamburgers before me and said, "EAT." I ate my first goober burger and, 'IT WAS MOIST AND VERY GOOD." He didn't use too much peanut butter, just enough, and it was very good. It's really a pleasure being married to a man who is, although not professionally, a great baker and cook: I don't need to go anywhere, except our kitchen table, to enjoy great food!
HOWEVER, it would be nice to vist that place in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and that place in Texas, and that place in ....etc., etc., and etc. This DVD could turn out being very expensive!
