Though Goofy always means well, his amiable cluelessness and klutzy pratfalls regularly embarrass his awkward adolescent son, Max. When Max's lighthearted prank on his high-school principal finally gets his longtime crush, Roxanne, to notice him, he asks her on a date. Max's trouble at school convinces Goofy that he and the boy need to bond over a cross-country fishing trip like the one he took with his dad when he was Max's age, which throws a kink in his son's plans to impress Roxanne.

Rated: 4/5 Oct 12, 2010 Full Review A Goofy Movie | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Todd McCarthy Variety None too edifying for adults, this is pretty much a small-fry-only offering that will do predictable biz at mall matinees.

Audience Member A Goofy Movie is one of those films that really shouldn't work, but somehow it is a perfect 90's flick. It's almost like going through your fridge, not expecting to find anything, and instead finding the last piece chocolate cake that you loved from a few nights ago. Elements of this film work so well together, despite having little budget or time to work with. The characters of both Max and Goofy are very relatable whether your a son or father. It's overall a film you would never expect to hit as hard as it does, not to mention the awesome soundtrack! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Max H Pretty good feel good coming of age musical comedy. 7.5/10You can read the full written review on my blog (maxholland93.blogspot.com) and/or watch the video review on my YouTube channel (YouTube.com/maxthemetalkid) Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review rabadan g The animation reminds me my childhood when i had the CD and watched it on DVD-player. This one is like escaping from adulthood. I like how it shows relationship between son and dad, family bonding. Goofy is a dad i would like to be Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/24 Full Review Anthony B This movie is excellent. Goofy, being one of Disney’s main characters, got the movie he deserves. The story feels so natural and the music from Tevin Campbell is incredible. Real pop from the era. The animation is great and every scene is very detailed all by hand. A real classic Disney movie Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/22/24 Full Review Dale R Disney’s television division’s second theatrical release, and third overall movie, is based off of the Goof Troop television series. This movie finds Goofy and his son Max at odds about going on a fishing trip together. Any reservations you might have about watching a movie with Goofy as one of the leads need to be put aside. This is a great father-son movie! Not only that, but the music is amazing and serves the narrative and character development really well. I would put the music in this movie in the same category with Dumbo and most of the Renaissance movies as one of the better song collections in Disney history. I highly recommend this movie, go check it out! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Audience Member The absolute most goofy movie I ever seen. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
