You really venture out of known territory when you abandon a format, and there is no guarantee that a 1h40m film will be as good as a half-hour show, if made with the same material.
And this film is the proof of that.
The Bob's Burgers Movie has the plot elements of a single Bobs Burgers episode, stretched thin, and filled with mediocre songs.
Honestly, i can tolerate the plot, but i can't take the songs.
The TV show itself has plenty of musical numbers, they are bad, awkward songs that are fun because they are the imagination of the bad, awkward characters that populate the show. It makes no sense to try to flesh them out into full-length, musical-film songs because they lose that sense of horrid charm that they have in the TV show.
My vote: 6/10 - best stick with the show and ignore the movie.
