A Major Disappointment

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

As I've become a fan of the original A Goofy Movie recently, and have been a Goofy fan for as long as I could remember, I thought I'd give An Extreme Goofy Movie a chance. While I felt it lacked the depth that was in the original had and I preferred the animation and characterizations in the 1995 version, for some fluff, I thought it was still a decent watch. I found myself especially enjoying the subplot of Goofy finally finding a lady friend to be quite enjoyable. It's just such a shame that it appears that this was the last of the Disney Afternoon based movies. I think there (and are) possibilities to make

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

He's learnt nothing from the original 1995-movie! When his now adult son Max sets off for a new life of independence with his pals PJ and Bobby at college, Goofy can't resist going with him! Goofy is suffering with the Empty-Nest Syndrome and this affects work, so, hey presto, he'd fired.The point is that Max is TRYING to get away from his selfish dad but Goofy can only focus on his own relief of not suffering a year without his 'little Maxie'. At first, Max is (too) tolerant of having Goofy with him, understanding how sad he must've felt. But there are more embarrassing situations Goofy creates to humiliate his son; Gets him out of bed very early in the morning, embarrasses him in a clothes store, getting him to clean up the room with spades and just as Max offers a pretty girl a seat next to him, Goofy rushes to take it before her and Max's new-found enemy Brad offers her a seat instead! In time, Goofy gets romantically involved with the college librarian which doesn't fail to keep him out of his son's hair and does all three of them a lot of good but things soon take a turn for the worst. Max feels increasingly harassed by his obsessive father and is furious with him for beating him in the College X-Games (this wouldn't have happened if Goofy never went to the college)."OH DON'T YOU GET IT?!! I AM TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM YOU! I'M NOT A LITTLE KID ANYMORE!! NOW JUST LEAVE ME ALONE AND GET YOUR OWN LIFE!" Goofy, if you were my dad I'd disown you! Any road, this movie shows what medicine Goofy needs for his Empty-Nest Syndrome; a woman in his life! After so long, Goofy finds getting his mind off Max less painful as he and Sylvia head off into the sunset fora new life of their own.

OK, so heres the story: little Max has grown up and he's 18 now (where has the time gone?) so he and his friends go to college and enter this skating competition called the x-games, against Bradly Uppercrust III, a brat who has always won the X-Games. then much two Max's horror, his dad Goofy, in missing him so much, loses his job, and can't get another without a college degree, so he must go back too school. There, he meets the lovely Ms.Silvia Marpole. It was OK i guess, but the whole thing with Max dissing his dad didn't fly for me. i mean 'Leave me alone and get you're own life'? show the guy a little love! then they're was that weird café girl and brad-the-brat! all-and-all it was OK, but not as good as the first.
