The Goonies

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.

Original and sometimes bizarre, this is a timely reminder of what "kids' movies" can deliver in an era almost defined by superhero flicks and Disney franchise reboots.

The Goonies has a rich and indomitable air of all-American innocence...

"The Goonies" is the kind of hyperactive peril-packed movie young audiences can't resist.

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.

I summed up the experience on Letterboxd as "like being buried alive in the ball pit at Chuck E. Cheese," which was equally true no matter where I started from; The Goonies is just so screamy.

It's a movie so omnipresent that the experience of watching it proves secondary to its irremovable place of our culture.
