This movie is one that both kids and adults will enjoy. Kids will laugh at the humor of the jokes and adults will remember the disco era with Goofy's disco moves. Although the movie still has the jokes, it doesn't add up to the laughs you get from the other Goofy movie. But it's still worth having in your Disney collection.

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

An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000) is a straight to DVD sequel to A Goofy Movie (1995), and when it comes to straight to DVD Disney sequels, they are usually not good. But I thought An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000) is not that bad of a sequel.

Goofy and his son Max are still likable characters and have a good father and son relationship. Having Max go to college was not bad of an idea, along with having a X-Games tournament he wants to win and to beat one of the popular teams in the games.

The animation for this straight to DVD movie is good, like the backgrounds and the character movements in the animation are not that bad, along with some nice shots of the background. The movie has some little funny moments, but sometimes it does not work all the time and can feel awkward when it happens.

The movie does have some emotional moments involving Goofy being upset at Max leaving for college and it does have some serious moments. There are also some scenes that are weird or random that I was questioning but it is not much of an issue, along with some 70's music being in this movie at times when certain scenes happen.

An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000) is of course not better than the first movie, but it is not bad to watch if you did like the first movie. Like I have said already, this movie is not one of those bad straight to DVD Disney sequels it is fine to watch.

First off, ignore the comment made by wileyjp, just a couple down from me. Obviously, though he claims to be a "true Goofy fan," he is quite the opposite. True fans of Goofy will love Goofy in any form, and in any age. He praises the animated shorts that Goofy starred in since the 30's, and hates the idea that Goofy had a girlfriend and a son. Then he never saw the animated shorts where Goofy was married and had a son in the 50's shorts.

Knowing that, the idea of Goofy being a father isn't far fetched. At least he had "a son" instead of nephews, which always puzzled me whenever cartoons were afraid to link any character to a jr version. Instead, we have Huey, Dewey and Louie with Uncle Donald, when it would have made more sense, (and may have been funnier), if he was their dad. I love that Goofy is a father, because he does have a strong sense of family about him, and you can see that Max is his whole world.

The Goofy movies are a great modern story with the timeless Goofy. Though this movie isn't a great as the first, it has the same charm, and the same family connection that the first one conveyed. Anyone can enjoy this movie just as much as the first, and i recommend it to the True Goofy Fans out there.

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

^ Total nutter. The show may be mediocre/OK for some, but for those who loved the first movie, it's a complete bomb.

WHERE is Roxanne? And why has Max forgotten everything he learned from the first movie? There's no point questioning the chosen plot lines, like Goofy meeting a woman or the whole cliché college...thing, because the movie is already seven years old. But it helps to rant, and ask again, after an entire movie dedicated to getting the girl, WHERE is Roxanne!?

Also, I agree that humiliating Goofy further kinda irks me. I mean, people don't think Goofy is an embarrassment, that was the whole idea of the first movie! Goofy is a lot like my dad, my friends think he's amazing, but he always annoys me. In the end though, we are very much alike, and I have to accept that I'm a lot like him, and that it's OK, because it's cool to be like him. THATS the point! So why do they continue showing Goofy like he's some freak show?

I was a big fan of the original 'A Goofy Movie' and was eagerly awaiting the sequel when I saw an advertisement for it prior to Thanksgiving in 1999.

An Extremely Goofy Movie takes place Four or five years after the original and involves Goofy's son Max going off to collage and freedom. This depresses the Goof who then is fired from his job at a toy factory. In today's economy one cannot get a good job without a degree and the Goof decides to go back to collage, the same college as Max.

Max on the other hand has visions of freedom and the 'X games' dancing in his head and presumably girls and keggers as well; though he former is glossed over and the latter ignored for the sake of the small set. These dreams are rudely interrupted by the return of Goofy who, dressed in '70's clothes, immediately begins treating his boy as, well his boy.

Max must contend with both his father and a group of yuppie skum low lives known as the gammas. The gammas are all about winning at any cost and not above cheating to accomplish that.

A sub plot involves Goofy dating the school's librarian and the only other person in the world who shares Goofy's affinity for the '70s.

At its heart 'An Extremely Goofy Movie' is about how despite the fact that children grow up there is still a bond between parent and child that cannot be broken. It does this without becoming too sappy and always retains its good humor. My only complaint is that Disney did not release it to theaters first this is definitely a movie that would have worked on the big screen. Go buy it or at least rent it.

this Sequel to A Goofy Movie is actually a better movie,in my opinion.i found it much funnier and less schmaltzy than the original.and there are no musical numbers slowing it down,at least that i can i recall.it's also faster paced and i liked the story a bit more.it has pretty much the same characters as the original,with the same voices,and a few other characters,as well.and,like the first one,there's also a lesson to be learned.and though i may watch the original again,it won't be for awhile.but i would actually watch this offering more than once,and more often,so for me it was worth the purchase.for me,an Extremely Goofy Movie is a 7/10

I bought this movie hoping it would be at least as good as the original, and I was let down. There were so many changes from the original.

First Goofy does not work at the supermarket anymore, which does not coincide with him going to school to get a degree since he was already was able to get a new job with out a degree. Second the music, in 'a Goofy Movie' the characters sang the music witch gave it a nice touch, but in this movie this is no one singing its all background music. Third at the end of 'a Goofy Movie' we saw Max starting to hang out with his dad and he was not ashamed of Goofy anymore. Then in this movie Max is again ashamed to be Goofy's son, which was basically the same storyline as 'a Goofy Movie', which disvalues 'a Goofy movie'. Last and most importantly where's Roxanne? Roxanne was the main storyline and the love of Max's life in 'a Goofy movie'. I refuse to beleive that they broke up especially after what Max went threw to impress her. Even though there was a Roxanne look-alike that never talked in the movie.

This movie left me with the feeling of why did I watch part one (a goofy Movie) since this destroyed every good thing that came out of it.

It's a good movie, I watched it on Netflix today. It wouldn't be good for fans of the first. But it would be good for Goof Troop fans. Anyways, it's a good movie Although it gets a little sad But it does have a happy ending I suggest it for all Goofy fans There is some positive messages It's not released on Blu-Ray yet but on Netflix. Enjoy the movie on Netflix then get it on DVD if you want, or if you don't like it you don't have to watch it again but it is a good movie for kids (mainly tweens) And if you like it you can watch goof troop or the first movie. Last thing, Enjoy the movie on Netfilx :D :D :D :D :D :D

"An Extremely Goofy Movie" is a comical and endearing film that serves as a charming continuation of the beloved Goofy universe. The movie chronicles the struggles of college life as it is faced by the lovable Goofy and his son Max. Fans of the original character will definitely find laughter in the charming clumsiness and slapstick humor that perfectly captures the essence of Goofy. This film stands out for its poignant examination of the father-son relationship as Max's need for independence clashes with Goofy's silly charm. It's a family-friendly journey that both kids and adults will love because the story perfectly blends meaningful moments with laughter.

Bright and lively, the animation captures the essence of the original Goof Troop series while modernizing it for a new audience. The fun and nostalgia are further enhanced by the film's music, which combines memorable original songs with classic hits. The movie "An Extremely Goofy Movie" adeptly addresses the timeless themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the unbreakable tie between parents and children. This film is a great addition to the Disney canon, providing a delightful escape into the world of Goofy and his adorable adventures. It has the ideal balance of humor, heart, and catchy tunes.

Many reviews I've read of XGM gripe at the fact that it is not consistent with 'A Goofy Movie', which I agree was an excellent movie. But it is clear to me that Extremely Goofy Movie was not made as 'Goofy Movie 2'. The setting is different, characters are new or at least 5 years older...the only thing the movies have in common is the theme of the bond between Max and Goof. And they both explore that in very different ways, focusing on different aspects of the generation gap. And I think XGM is a great movie in and of itself and does not invite comparison, plot-wise, to the original. It is just as good.

It's also nice to finally get a movie that's not made purely to sell toys.

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'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 have mixed feelings about the first Goofy Movie but the sequel was a clear success. It builds on the same characters and themes but with a more solid and focused plot. Goofy and Max go to college together, leading to conflict when they both try to enter an extreme sports challenge. The film goes on diversions to show more of the other characters but it is never distracting and always ties into the main plot.

I watched this with my 4 year old and don't get me wrong it was watchable, had somewhat of a story but goofy obsession with Max is crazy, slightly creepy even.

It is rare I feel that way, but !An Extremely Goofy Movie" is in my opinion a sequel which improves upon its predecessor in almost every way.

Max is approximately five years older now and is heading off to college with Bobby and PJ and away from his dad Goofy. This makes Goofy really sad and takes you through lots of sentimental scenes which really make you care about him.

Later Goofy is fired from his job and must acquire a college degree to increase his chances to get a new job. From that moment on we get a tremendously entertaining ride through Goofy's time with Max at college.

If you noticed, I wrote much about Goofy. That's one of the minor problems I had with this movie. Max is not a very interesting character in here, he is more like just a college student, but the drama between him and Goofy is just as effective in this movie as in the first one.

An Extremely Goofy Movie actually has more quiet moments than its predecessor, and I am thankful of that, because the first movie some times had too many hyperactive ones if you ask me.

The college X-Games competition, as engaging as it is, made me feel a little mnipulated, because I just felt like it was shouting "you want to go to the x-games" to my face. It could have been more timeless just by changing the name, but if you can look past that you get a good amount of tension and exitement which keeps you wanting to see the outcome. You really want Max and his team to win.

The absence of Roxanne doesn't bother me, because while their flirt in the first movie was cute, I see it as a bolt move from Disney not to make it a "happily ever after"-relationship, but accepting that many youngsters don't have those kinds of relationships.

The problems I have listed are the only ones to keep it from a ten, because I feel that An Extremely Goofy Movie delivers lots of entertainment for both kids and adults.

The other day I was on a Disney sequel fix, An Extremely Goofy Movie was next on my list, A Goofy Movie is such a funny Disney movie, so I was kinda looking forward to watching An Extremely Goofy Movie, even if it was a sequel. So I watched it this movie this morning and I have to say that it still has the same good laughs and goofs as the first one. Although I think that Max is still kind of a jerk in this one, lol, but Goofy is still a lot of fun. I loved how they contributed disco once again to this movie and Goofy's dance with his date was so much to watch. I also loved that the voices were kept by the same as in the first Goofy movie, because normally if the voices are different from the original Dinsey movie, I do get distracted, so it was so cool that the original cast returned for this fun sequel.

Max is all grown up with the guys, and they are off to college to have fun and have a hopeful future, especially one without Max's dad, Goofy. But when Goofy gets fired from his job, he goes to the unemployment office and they have no jobs for him, unless he gets his degree. He's going to school again, and guess with who? Max! That's right, him and his son are taking the same classes and he's embarrassing Max with his old school dress code and act. But Goof turns out to be more popular than his son, especially when he beats Max at a skateboarding contest.

An Extremely Goofy Movie is really a lot of fun to watch. I think my favorite scene was actually when Max tells the frat jerks off and the whole club that he and the boys are in snap them away, it reminded me of West Side Story, probably was a homage, who knows, right? But Goofy really does steal the show, he's just so much fun to watch and is always a classic. I would recommend An Extremely Goofy Movie, especially if you enjoyed the first Goofy movie, this one will not be a disappointment, trust me.

7/10

"A Goofy Movie", a 1995 animated flick, was the first full-length movie for Goofy, one of Disney's famous cartoon characters, and it was released over sixty years after the character was first introduced. Five years later, just like many other animated Disney movies, that one got the direct-to-video sequel treatment. I first saw "A Goofy Movie" from beginning to end in 2007, and watched it again earlier this year. Overall, I thought it was good both times, slightly better the second time. I never saw "An Extremely Goofy Movie", the 2000 direct-to-video sequel to the 1995 release, until this month. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as the original, but thought it could still be above average. However, for the most part, I didn't even think it was that.

Max Goof is ready to leave home for college, and he is looking forward to it, but his father, Goofy Goof, is not very happy, knowing how much he is going to miss his son. Max moves out to the college campus with his two friends, P.J. and Bobby, with plans to make the top team at the X-Games. The three of them quickly draw attention to themselves by skateboarding around the campus, including the attention of the Gamma fraternity, who are known as the X-Game champions! The group's leader, Bradley Uppercrust III, offers Max to join them, but since his two friends are not allowed to join, he refuses. The new rivals then make a bet. The loser of the finals will become the towel boy for the winner! Meanwhile, Goofy misses his son so much that it's hard for him to concentrate on his work, causing a major accident in the factory and costing him his job! He learns that he will need a college degree in order to get another well paying job, so he decides to go to the college where his son has enrolled, which means that they're together again and Max is in for more embarrassment!

One of the things that helps "A Goofy Movie" entertain its audience is the humour, and that's definitely something that's missing for most of this sequel. I didn't keep a straight face all the time while watching "An Extremely Goofy Movie", but certainly did for the majority of it. For some reason, although Goofy still has his charm here, he's certainly not as funny. I can't describe how he's not that funny this time, but he isn't, and neither are any other characters in this sequel. In the part where Goofy suddenly enters the college classroom, his son's reaction is pretty funny, but the rest of the class laughing and Goofy's presence giving Max's punk rival something to make fun of him about, is not. There's also a lame gross-out moment with the three friends stuffing their faces with nachos, getting cheese smeared around their mouths. In addition to the lack of laughs, the story certainly isn't very interesting, either. This sequel introduces some new characters, such as Bradley Uppercrust III and his fraternity, and Sylvia Marpole, the college librarian and Goofy's new love interest. None of them really do much for the film. Another new character is the "Beret Girl in Café." We first see her reciting her ridiculous poetry, and this is a lame part of the movie. This "Beret Girl" appears in more than one scene after that, and is a poorly crafted character.

These direct-to-video sequels from Disney often disappoint many fans of their theatrical predecessors, and this particular one certainly didn't turn out to be an exception. "An Extremely Goofy Movie" has some occasional funny moments (though even those don't tend to be THAT funny) and nice animation, and there are characters for viewers to root for, but for the most part, it's basically just another cartoon, there's not much special about it. I know I'm far from the first one to point this out, but as a sequel, this film has some continuity problems, with Goofy and Max's awkward relationship and the absence of Roxanne, as if the events of "A Goofy Movie" didn't happen! Maybe this wouldn't be that much of a problem if this sequel were actually entertaining, but unfortunately, it isn't usually that. This may not be a sequel to avoid at all costs, and I'm sure many kids would enjoy it, but it's definitely a film that could have used better writing.

An Extremely Goofy Movie i think is another Spectacular movie to watch, i think it's just as good as the first, the movie sets off with Max now older and ready to go to college, a life time freedom away from his dad. Max wants to have a life of his own, goofy really doesn't want his son Max to grow up, but at the end of the day, everyone has to grow up and face the world with complicated things to solve and harder work. Max had to go to college to get himself an excellent education, but his education is interupted when Goofy etends at college himself, really so that he can be with his son and spend time with him, goofy gets pushed into a gang of bullies to help them beat Max and his time on skate boarding. But the team end up drawing as an accident happens, At the end, Goofy is crowned as a professor as he wears the black hat with the string beside it. I give this movie 10 out of 10.

On its own, this movie is not that bad... its main problem is you have to throw out "A Goofy Movie," or nothing makes any sense. Everything that occurred in the first, and better, movie apparently never happened.



"Extremely" is good as above average, typical kids' fare. Children of the 70's will probably enjoy it more than their kids due to the cultural references of the time, and, that's where most of this film's charm lies. Sadly, this is also its biggest blow against it.

The first film was a wonderfully balanced essay. The father was totally typically clueless parent, and son wasn't totally typically self absorbed and therefore always correct in his own conceit. Like in real life, a gray area exists, and it's reached and that conclusion is reached by both. "Extremely" not only does not delve into any character development, let alone along those lines. It destroys the development from the first movie by eliminating Max's girlfriend from the story.

Bottom line, you won't waste your money renting it, but, if you're getting it because the first one was so good, you'll probably be disappointed.
