Critics Consensus

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.

3.5/5

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.

3/4

“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.

If you close your eyes and listen; Its the same Cyndi Lauper song as a segaway to the next part of the adventure after the kids that wouldn't sit together in the lunch room are having. If you watch it very little continuity error an immersive story and is that Arnold Schwarzenegger in a mask, superman shirt and pirate hat? If so John Candy jr is trying to put the guy up for a woodie award. All in all The Goonies is almost like watching a live action Scooby Doo mystery, go ahead and cringe... Im not a fan of animated adaptations either. Because movies like this gives a certain je ne sais quoi making you like it, knowing its like a Scooby Doo with a different cast? Now you know what. P.S. Girl's just wanna have fun would have worked equally well as the song stuck on repeat.

Takes me back to being 8 years old. The 80s were the best.
