Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A few years ago, I came across this movie on Netflix. I don't remember why, but I started to watch it. I loved this movie. This and it's predecessor rank in my top 30 favorite movies ever. After watching this movie, I was all kinds of pumped for college. Yesterday, I revisited this movie after watching the first one, and I have to say that this one is an improvement over the original.Plot - The plot is solid, and the set up is sort of believable. Goofy going to college, in a million years that would happen. It however rips off Rodney Dangerfield's Back to School. 5/10 Characters - Max is upset by Goofy's presence at college. Goofy wants nothing more than to spend time with his son. Sylvia loves to shake her groove thing, and is sort of the quiet type. P.J. is sort of just there and does nothing really except for fall for Beret Girl. He's even blasted out of the finale by Brad, as he had literally nothing to do. Bobby has incredibly stupid dialogue, it's amazing how he has such a small amount of lines and still tanks the movie's quality. Pauly Shore's best movie. Beret Girl is one of those beat poets and doesn't really do anything except add to the college atmosphere. Tank is the henchman and possibly kills off everyone on the blimp, and Brad is a jerk who nearly killed P.J., Goofy, Max, and Tank. Brad is a sore loser and does nothing but cheat in order to win. While certain characters aren't really that in depth. They are actually believable, even Bobby. The movie is mostly about Max and Goofy's relationship, and both character's personalities are explained in the first movie anyways.7/10 Voice Acting/Dialogue - The voice acting is done really well and above the usual direct-to-video garbage. Bobby as I said is just annoying, and is the only downside to this part of the movie. He only has about 15 lines in the whole movie, so you don't really notice him that much. The dialogue is just okay, it's not great, except for Bobby. Bobby's dialogue is atrocious. Especially, the Rasta pasta line. It's believable, and the few bits of exposition blend in so well, that you hardly ever realize it is exposition. 9/10 Soundtrack - The soundtrack for this movie does not date like how A Goofy Movie did with Stand Out and I 2 I. The movie is actually timeless thanks to the soundtrack, as it doesn't scream, "takes place in the year 2000". That song that song that plays while they're driving through the campus, is what got me pump up for college. It is nothing to brag about however. The movie is actually a lot more quiet than A Goofy Movie, and yet doesn't feel like the theatrical release that it's predecessor was. 6/10 Animation - The animation is neither stunning nor bad. It's kind of just meh. I will point to Max's reaction shot when seeing his father pop up unexpectedly in class in a 70s get up. That is classic. 6/10 Overall - I thought it was a really good direct-to-video outing, and was really surprised at the 57% on Rotten Tomatoes. I was even more surprised at the audience score, 47%. It's not that great of a movie, but it's also not that bad of a movie. In my opinion, that ending sequence felt really sad for me, as it would be the last time we would ever see Goof Troop in movie form. The only problem I have is Roxanne being kept out of the movie, while Bobby stayed in. Screw Bobby, Roxanne was like one of favorite parts of A Goofy Movie. It is however realistic, in that young love like that, doesn't really last. Which is kind of tease, when you hear she reappears in a House of Mouse episode, and is replaced in Twice Upon a Christmas by Mona. I did however like the new character, Sylvia. She was the movie's Roxanne. I'm actually going to bump the score of the movie down .1 point because of Roxanne's omission. Also a mention goes to the fact that the blimp disaster and P.J. being blasted out (no one could survive from that fall), means a lot of people died because of the College X Games. James Cameron would've made a movie about it, starring a romance, and a Celine Dion song. I give it a 6.5/10. Round that, you get a solid 7/10. Hope you liked my first review, or at least found it helpful.

I really liked A Goofy Movie, it is not my favourite Disney movie, but it was charming, funny and touching with some great music and a sweet story. An Extremely Goofy Movie does have its moments, but while A Goofy Movie is very good in my book, this is just so-so.The voice acting is very well done though, both Bill Farmer and Jason Marsden capture Goofy and Max perfectly. Plus Goofy provides the most amusing moments, but he isn't as funny admittedly here. The animation is good enough, it is colourful and at least tolerable to look at. The film also moves at a good pace, while the soundtrack while not as catchy or as touching is worth the listen.However, An Extremely Goofy Movie lacks the heart and magic of A Goofy Movie. The film is too short I think, so some relationships and the story and script are not as well thought out this time around. Goofy and Max's relationship here is very awkward and sometimes uncomfortable to watch, I actually felt sorry for Goofy more than I did for Max which didn't happen in A Goofy Movie, then I cared for them both. The absence of Roxann is notable too, that was a pivotal point of A Goofy Movie and what made it so heart-warming and realistic. While I liked Goofy, I actually felt somewhat indifferent towards Max. He is not as easy to relate to and he was a bit of a bore. Also there were numerous points in the movie where I got really frustrated with him.The other characters I cared little for either. They are either underdeveloped or fall into the stereotypical category. The story is a let down here, it is predictable and rather ordinary with a number of disconnected moments. And like others have said, this movie feels very contradictory in comparison, not just with Roxann but I don't think I ever saw Max behave the way he did here. The writing and humour are also not as strong. The humour does have its amusing moments, such as Max's shocked reaction in one scene and a few parts to do with Goofy, but it is not enough. When it does happen, it is never more than amusing, and at worst some parts come across as rather mean-spirited.All in all, a bland and disappointing follow-up to a very enjoyable film. 5/10 Bethany Cox

Spoilers herein.There are three things about this little cartoon that should get you up-out-of-your-chair mad. And not just huffing mad, but pounding walls mad.The first is elusive. Walt Disney created Goofy and indeed all of his characters with a single notion: that they would be extremely abstract entities. These were NOT people, and not animals either and not something in between: they were a new type of being altogether. Donald Duck had some of the accouterments of people - a house, (some) clothes, nephews... - but he was deliberately pulled so far away from what a person was that we entered an abstract world. A twilight zone of a different reality that tested the imagination of drawer and viewer.I do not know why the current Disney oafs decided to transmute Goofy into a Fred McMurray surrogate - probably because it can rely on established, tired plot templates. But doing so robs a child of the ability to imagine, to create another world. If you are old enough, think back to how hard you had to work to enter Walt's fantasyland, how that subtly but strongly exercised your ability to perform rewarding abstract reasoning. And compare that to this. No wonder our kids are getting intellectually sick.The second big goof is more obvious. I don't know who thought that sports and intellectual activity were the same, or in any way similar. No one who lives the life of the mind would equate the two in any way, and not in the least in matters of `focus' or `determination.' To so equate the two is so mindnumbingly wrong and would only be done by a corporate entity who sells sports instead of educational programming. Again, this sickens society in no small way.The third goof may not offend you, but it does me. Disney takes the occasion to plug a Disney-owned ESPN product to kids. Now that's downright low.If you are a parent and have a shred of concern about those few early years in which your child wakes up to a thinking person, you'll stay far far away from this. Please. I don't want to pay for more prisons.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
