Max is constantly embarrassed by his father, Goofy. Now considering that Goofy is a complete idiot and major dork, you can understand Max's feelings about this. But Max is no prize either...he's a teenager!! Plus, to impress a girl, he lies and says that he's friends with a famous singer and will be at the big concert in Los Angeles. The film is about their road trip across America...and Goofy has no idea that Max wants to go to the concert. So, instead, he's planned a LOT of lame vacation stops....all the types to make teens cringe.
I really liked "A Goofy Movie" but cannot see giving it a score higher than 7. The reasons were that the movie featured Pauly Shore as one of Max's friends....and frankly, ANY Pauly Shore in a movie is too much. Additionally, the film simply was an extension of the television show...and looked much like a TV show. But, on the positive side, it really, really had a lot of heart and had a lot of real issues in the film--such as a father having a hard time letting his son grow up as well as how tough it is to be a teen...with all that angst, uncertainty and goofiness. Well worth seeing...warts and all.
