Monsters University was a nice surprise for me, mainly due to the very fun and very charming chemistry between Goodman and Crystal, the two are simply wonderful together and like Goodman and his Argo co-star Alan Arkin, you could watch them do just about anything and it would be great fun to watch as they play off each other so well.
As for the film around them well surprisingly it was nice and light and at times very funny as the audience I saw it with were really enjoying themselves, it does become a little predictable as to where it will ultimately go but the film makes you believe that it won't feel like a inevitability but there will be a few bumps along the way, there are also some nice surprise cameos of characters from the earlier film which I and most who saw it in my audience enjoyed seeing.
But lastly I have to talk about the short cartoon "The Blue Umbrella" which plays before the film and it's a nice and charming silent short about a Blue and Red Umbrella during a Rainstorm and while its good I didn't think it was as good as "Paperman" which played before Wreck-It Ralph last year but it was still fun.
So all in all, Monsters University is a fun animated feature and a nice bounce back for Pixar after their last two films, definitely check it out but see it in 2D if you can, 3 out of 5.
