The Goonies is an energetic, sometimes noisy mix of Spielbergian sentiment and funhouse tricks that will appeal to kids and nostalgic adults alike.

You're reminded of what it was like, as a child, to trust in wishing wells and, without thinking very much about it, switch from walking along to skipping.

A funny juvenile windup toy about kids in perilous, comic book situations.

The Goonies is as hip, sassy and innocent as its seven teenage heroes.

This sassy and hyperactive romp can be a bit too loud and boisterous....But it’s hard not to respond to the heartfelt innocence and childlike charms that seep from nearly every pore of this beloved movie.

“Goonies” is an entertaining film and has a cult following of teens from the ’80s, who remember the film well. Adults will enjoy watching it with their children, since it’s a more subdued family film than what comes out today.

This movie is soooooo boring. Honestly, people always think it's good, and is considered a classic, but I just don't really understand the appeal.

What can I say? I know exactly what to say. The Goonies was a fantastic mid 80's film with tremendous, unforgettable actors and unlimited entertainment. It's absolutely fantastic!

Watched The Goonies this year. This movie is a good movie if you are in the mood for an adventure. At its basic premise, a group of kids find a map to find a sacred treasure in their friend's attic while three criminals are trying to not get themselves back in jail. This movie really knew how to tell a story and had great acting. The kid actors were the perfect pick for this movie. It felt like they all knew each other before acting in this movie. Overall I would rate this movie 4.5 stars out of 5 stars. This was truly a classic I will remember. My favorite scene in this adventure classic is when Chunks is confessing everything juicy he can think of to the criminals. I would most certainly recommend this movie.

See this as a teenager back in the 80s and although I enjoyed it I never thought it was a classic at the time. The 80s were full of great films and any film at the time would find it hard to make a must see list from that decade! Enjoyable enough but don’t believe the hype!
