About this movie

Disney•Pixar proudly presents the hilarious story of how two mismatched monsters met and became lifelong friends in a movie screaming with laughter and oozing with heart. Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he's dreamed of becoming a Scarer—and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mike's plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, "Sulley" (John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pair's out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University's elite Scare Program. With their dreams temporarily dashed, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.

2½★. I didn't dislike it exactly. It was just kinda... meh. Some good ideas but more of a miss than a hit. Maybe if had come before MI, it wouldn't have had such a high standard to live up to. As it is, probably actual kids would get something out of it but it doesn't work for a big (adult) kid like me. Highlights include when the team comes together, and the locker snaps at the end. Something to rent once in a boo moon rather than (for me) to buy and watch like crazy. ••UPDATE•• Improves slightly on the second viewing; still contrived and somewhat forced, but a better experience. I might get the twin pack after all...

This film really could have been so much more. Nothing funny about how boring this was. It brought about that awful situation where four of you are watching it and you get to a point where you all look at each other and someone goes for the remote. I've sat through some bad films but this is a new low. Loved the others too.

More friendly for younger children than its predecessor, though set before its events. Lots of fun and humour involved. Mild peril in places but short lived and quickly countered with further humour. Focuses primarily on dreams and perseverance in achieving goals as well as friendship and social aspects of young adult life.
