Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2013)

Many of the Disney efforts of the past several years have been hampered by too much filler in the story line, they have at best an 80 minute tale but they stretch it 110 instead (Nemo being a good example). This has a much tighter plot, largely focusing on the college experience of Mike and Sully. This has all been done before in one fashion or another but the story moves along pleasantly enough to a fair conclusion. Billy Crystal and John Goodman fill their roles as well as in the original and in fact this is a better story than the first one, the exception rather than the rule for sequels. I particularly liked the short played before this movie, the Blue Umbrella.
