To this day, I still quote this movie. It's hard not to love this movie.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 28, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 7, 2023

“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.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 25, 2022

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.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 3, 2022

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

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 6, 2020

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

| Apr 6, 2020

The tale rattles along like a juvenile Raiders of the Lost Ark and the young leads - including Martha Plimpton, Sean Astin and Corey Feldman - are a likeable bunch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 6, 2020

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.
