Pateta 2: Radicalmente Pateta

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.
