This motion picture tells the tale of a Father, played by Bill Farmer, who increasingly finds that he is unable to relate to his Son, played by Jason Marsden, who has grown up much too quickly to his father's dismay and now prepares to leave for his studies at a distant University. The story follows the often complicated relationship between the two and the struggles that the father has in realizing that while once he was a rolemodel and a hero to his son, he is now an embarrassment and a public shame. The characteristics and traits that his son often admired and emulated as a child have become "uncool" to the son as the peer pressures of popularity and life at college have now taken precedence. Follow this tale as the father goes to extreme measures to find common ground and, ultimately, acceptance as the often flawed and imperfect single father who has put aside his hopes and dreams for his own life in order to provide a full and enriching life for his son.While this film is animated, it is not of particular importance to a young viewership as the themes and sub-themes are mature and require a deeper understanding of young adulthood. Nevertheless, Disney has woven an impeccable tale of the ever important relationship of father and son through the lens of a comedy-adventure which hearkens back to such classic films as Animal House, National Lampoons Summer Vacation, Old School, and Back to School. In fact, Farmer's character does seem to possess characteristics and elements from such actors as Chevy Chase, Walter Mathau, Jack Lemmon, Will Farrell, and, of course, the late Rodney Dangerfield.

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.

Well in my opinion it is most definitely not as good as the first. It also seems far shorter than 'A Goofy Movie' everything moves too fast as well. Max has turned into a jerk, he was accepting his dad at the end of the first movie and now he's ashamed to know him. And the thing we all want to know, where did Roxanne go? We know Max would never break up with her so where did she go? The movies great if you take all of the 1st movie out of context. If you liked the first movie and are looking for something equally as good steer clear, but if your looking for a film with Goofy and skateboarding antics its sure to be fine for you.

As I slowly approach my twenties I must say I'm truly impressed by this movie which actually manages to entertain me, even if I'm pretty sure that I'm older than the target group. Goofy's son Max goes to college to finally get Goofy of his back, unfortunately Goofy misses Max so much that he decides to follow Max.This movie's greatest assets lies in ace animations and some rather entertaining slapstick. Goofy is both funny and sad and Max and his friends are an interesting bunch of characters. The movie sometimes feel a bit slow moving but there's more often than not something amusing waiting behind the corner. Shortly put, this is good clean entertainment for kids as well as parents and teens.7/10
