The Goonies Review Summary

The Goonies is "classic entertainment for the entire family!" A group of kids, played by Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, and Martha Plimpton, go on a "great adventure to find treasure from One-Eyed Willy" in an old pirate ship. It's a "comedy and romance mixed with adventure." The Goonies is like an Indiana Jones film aimed at the youngr set. Reviewers report they enjoyed the film when they were yonger and now enjoy sharing it with their own kids, happy to find it at the local video store. Parents especially like that The Goonies inspires "a child's imagination about pirates and gold." Reflecting back on a famous quote from the film, it seems very appropriate to say, "Goonies never say die!"

The Goonies is one of my son's and my favorite movies.  It starts out with kids worrying about their parents financial situation and how a big shot is going to force them out of their homes.  One of the kids remembers a story that his father use to tell him about burried gold and they dream of how nice it would be to find it.  They come upon a map and they believe it's the one that his dad use to talk about so they decide to follow it in hopes of finding the gold.  Along the way, they run into robbers and they find themselves in danger from traps and they learn to work together and how to... review »

You have to see the Goonies if this is a movie that you haven't seen. your life just wont be complete unless you do! This movie also plays a special place in my heart because i was about in the fifth grade when this movie was being filmed just about a half hour from my house in Astoria Oregon. Can't tell you all the details, you'll just have to see for yourself, but if you like adventure, comedy, a lesson entangled in the plot, then you will LOVE this movie.

The goonies is one of the clasics in comedy. The truffle shuffle!! If you havn't seen this movie go rent it, you won't regret it. It just brings you back to the day when not everyone had cell phones and so many games and toys to play with but kids just had fun outside. Getting in trouble and just having fun. Makes me thing of all the crazy fun stuff I did as a kid.

This movie, Goonies, is a classic. It should be watched by anyone and everyone. The one liners are memorable and the acting is great, for an 80's flick. I love that it's all about the kids going to get treasure to save their house for their parents. It is a great movie to watch with your kids. For me, this was one of the greatest movies when I was growing up.

Check out Sean Astin before Lord of the Rings! It's funny to see him as a young boy. He does a great job as a young kid, full of adventure. Corey Feldman plays a great goofy guy who you end up loving by the end.  You will also fall in love...

One of the best movies of my youth. Made stars of 2 the 2 Corey's (Haim & Feldman).  Made Baby Ruth & Rocky Road names one would never forget. 

On a serious not though, it's undoubtedly one of the most entertaining movies to watch, whether your 13 or 30.  Even the most miserable, unemotional person in the world will laugh & cry over the relationship between Chunk & Sloth.  Laugh incessently at the inventions of the little chineses kid. Teaches you how to stick up for freinds and family, how to ward of bullies, that you shouldn't make up stories or cry wolf, and most of all that found money...

The Goonies was my favorite movie back in the day and I remember daydreaming about all the action and adventure I could have if... Now it's my son's favorite movie.  He enjoys the fun and adventure that all the characters experience in the movie.  He will out of nowhere yell, "Hey you guys!" Reminding me that he remembers parts and really liked the movie.  The Goonies movie has a way of keeping you young by motivating your imagination and that thought that anything could happen to a dull and boring day!   You are never too old to enjoy "The Goonies!"

Goonies is a good action adventure film for kids.  I first bought this movie on VHS when it came out years ago for my older boys.  I have since bought it on DVD and my two younger sons absolutely love this movie.  My one son was scared at 1st, but has since watched it numerous times.  He loves the adventure they go on, the twist with the pirates and the bad guys.  This movie really made him ask a lot of questions as to why people treated the cyclops the way they did, when he turned out to be a nice guy.  I recommend this movie to anyone.  Very high praises.

The movie "The Goonies" with have you laughing for hours. With some amazing young actors and a zany, crazy plotline, The Goonies will not dissappoint. A movie that the whole family can see and enjoy, The Goonies ranks up towards the top of my personal favorite movies. A great movie to sit and watch with all of your friends.

After watching this movie you will find yourself quoting lines from it all the time. It has some of the best one-liners of all time and will always be an instant classic movie. Definitely one of the funniest movies ever made.

What can I say about Goonies, other than its the best movie ever. Growing up watching this movie was the best, and who wouldn't love watching a bunch of kids that go on adventure to find buried treasure while trying to out run bad guys. I don't want too much for the ones who has never seen it, but it is a must see movie. Starring Sean Astin and Cory Feldman. Truffle Shuffle is about the funniest thing you will ever witness, just ask my friends, I occasionally do it lol.   All I have left to say is "HEY YOU GUYS!!"

I just loved this movie. I have watched it over and over. It is so fun watching how they get in trouble and than get out of it. It was fun to also watch how they saved the town. The pirate ship was looked so orginate. The man with the ugly face wasn't even scary. I loved how they had to walk the plank. VERY SMART on how they came up with the clues. I would of liked to slide down the cuvry slide through the movie. They freed the priate ship but I wonder where it will head next. They also capture the very bad guys...

The Goonies is an excellant film for all ages. The cast was perfectly picked for the story line of children going on a treasure hunt so they don't have to move away from their community that they love. It's the type of movie that keeps you at the edge of your seat all through it. I think the movie was great all through it except for the end...they should of shown more answers to alot of the questions that you find yourself asking of the movie, other than that, it was perfect!

Goonies was a great family movie. Not only did it keep you interested it had a plot and a motive. Goonies shows you can not always judge a book {people} by their cover. The kids were accepting of others with differences and a little young romance. All in all it was a movie that I have watched with and without my boys. My husband and I laugh and enjoy and it brings  back memories of family times when our boys were little.

Goonies is, for the most part, a great movie.  It has an interesting plot and it is very funny.  Even though there is a lot of action, it is not graphic.  The only drawback is the language, especially from the character called Mouth.  This might be "realistic"  but it can make you squirm  when viewing with  your kids.
