5.0 out of 5 stars Best movie I've seen in a long time, October 10, 2011

This review is from: Gooby (DVD)

I've watched numerous children and family movies throughout my life, and 'Gooby' is one that sticks out the most. It's not because of the monster named Gooby's loveable smile, heartwarming jokes, or example-setting morals; instead it is the heartwarming moments Gooby spends with our protagonist, Willy, a troubled young man who is suffering from a mild form of schizophrenia. As we learn right away in 'Gooby', Willy has more problems than just his mental disorder. Willy's father no longer takes any interest in or spends time with him.

With an all-star cast consisting of David James Elliott (JAG), Eugene Levy (American Pie), Robbie Coltrane (Harry Potter) and up-and-coming young star Matthew Knight (My Babysitter's a Vampire) this movie is as can't-miss as it gets these days.

The kids will watch 'Gooby' over and over again, laughing at all the silly antics Gooby and Willy get themselves into, and the parents will laugh right along with them, soaking in all the clean, fun-spirited jokes that target both kids and adults.

4.0 out of 5 stars My 3 Year Old Loves This Movie, March 9, 2010

This review is from: Gooby (DVD)

I rented this off of On Demand from my cable provider for my 3 year old son. Although I did not enjoy it all that much, he LOVED it and has begged me to watch it over and over again. So, 6 months later and after repeatedly renting it from my cable provider, I am breaking down to buy it for him as he won't stop begging to watch it.

This review is from: Gooby (DVD)

When Willie and his parents move into a new house the youngster is convinced that the place fairly lurks with evil aliens from outer space who are going to do him harm. Willie wants desperately for someone to save him. That's when Gooby shows up. A big, loveable, scruffy creature (who may just be as frightened of the world as Willie is of space aliens) to provide comfort and companionship to a beleaguered young boy. "Gooby" is a fully featured theatrical production starring Matthew Knight as Willie and Robbie Coltrane as the voice of Gooby. This flawless DVD edition of a thoroughly entertaining family movie has a total running time of 99 minutes and is very highly recommended as an enduringly popular addition to community library DVD collections.
