Letterboxd Review: An Extremely Goofy Movie - 2000



Story - Max goes to college, but to his embarrassment, his father loses his job and goes to his son's campus.
Cast - Bill Farmer, Jason Marsden, Jeff Bennett, Jim Cummings
Crew - Douglas McCarthy (Director), Scott S. Gorden (Writer), Hillary Carlip (Writer)
Runtime - 79 minutes
         

I prefer the original, it has the charm and it has more integrity than this sequel.

I do appreciate trying to spice things up but at the end of the day, the two are movies that revolve around parenthood and children growing up. I feel it could’ve stayed as a single movie.

The dynamic animation is great, although it does look considerably less expensive or complex than the first movie, especially in the background.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I have memories of liking Ms. Marpole, what a woman… 😩

Review: What is a Woman? - 2022

  Story  -   Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire travels around the world to ask one of the biggest questions of this generation. Cast  -  Matt Walsh Crew  -  Justin Folk (Director) Runtime   - 95  minutes           What is a woman? A woman is someone who claims that as their identity. After two years of the pandemic, many theater chains and venues are struggling to put people in their seats, it is harder than ever to get a group of 150–200 people to sit quietly and watch a drama, comedy, or even horror movie, surprisingly, one category of film that has seen a consistent demographic to show up are "conservative" or "right-wing" movies. This is not a new phenomenon, there have always been movies whose primary audiences were conservative, republican, and white throughout history, but this new era of filmmaking has been growing and gaining more attention after the release of the 2023 movie 'Sound of Freedom'. The supposed docum...

Review: Resan (The Journey) - 1987

  Story  -   Petter Watkins' global look at the impact of military use of nuclear technology and people's perception of it, as well as a meditation on the inherent bias of the media, and documentaries themselves. Cast  -  Peter Watkins Crew  -  Peter Watkins (Director) Runtime   - 873  minutes           "I think to remove the veil of ignorance from the world is the most direct way at least to achieve enlightenment." Sometimes it is incredibly difficult to sit and watch a long movie, after all, the way of life in the XXI century has been accelerating to the point that 90-minute movies are consumed in 20 different parts on a tiny screen while commuting to work. This is a world that 15 years ago I would have never imagined. I believe on this occasion, watching a movie divided into 19 different sections has helped me to appreciate and embrace what it is trying to say on a different level. It is hard for someone in 2024 to...

Look Back - Review

  Cast  - Yuumi Kawai, Mizuki Yoshida. Kiyotaka Oshiyama  - Director Tatsuki Fujimoto - Original Writer           "Then why do you draw, Fujino?"           ​​One of the most common complaints when watching a film is the runtime. When movies like Oppenheimer or Killers of the Flower Moon reach or surpass the 3-hour mark, it can be heavy to most viewers, but looking past the raw number of minutes it will take you to finish a movie this often rewards you with a much more intimate portrait of the characters, their mental states and why are they doing the things they do. This is not the norm, and many times the long runtime can feel clunky and unimportant. On the other side, we can get works like Look Back , that with a duration of 57 minutes fails to capture the essence of its two main characters and is more focused on giving us cute and emotional montages, trying to overcompensate the lack of character development. Look Ba...
