I love this movie. I recently watched it again for the first time in about 8 or 9 years and I loved it as much today as I did then. Let me be frank, I grew up on this movie, so I am really close with it. I think that it gives kids and young preteens and teenagers a good perspective on the value of family. I thought that the relationship between Max and Goofy rang true to the typical father-son-relationship. Plus, the classic character development of the guy trying to impress the girl and being accepted in school. The great 90's lingo and music is a great way to reminisce about the decade and the movie gives us a chance to re-examine our own family relationships. I think that it has good laughs and it would be a great addition to any younger collection of movies. Enjoy!

This film is an excellent example of the pressures of High School hierarchy. It is realistic and very funny! It has been one of my favorite movies for a long time now and I still am not tried of it. Kathy Bates and George C. Scott (as usual) display their versatile abilities as their hilarious characters trying to cope with Angus' (Charlie Talbert) problems with him as much as work out their own issues. Of all the High School teen flicks, I believe this to be the most dramatic and sophisticated in storyline. James Van Der Beek plays the classic quarterback that everyone has met before and just loves to hate. Angus has always thought that the key was to be more like Rick (Van Der Beek) but then realizes that he truly needs to be himself. As it turns out, Angus' chelating crush, Melissa (Ariana Richards), is just as frightened of other people as Angus is. As a cruel joke, Angus is nominated to be Winter King at their school. Angus realizes the intentions behind the nomination and turns the situation into a positive experience. This movie is full of humor, classic characters we all knew and underwear up the flagpole. I deeply recommend this film. Enjoy!
