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.

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

“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.

Rated: 3/4

I know I’ll lose my Gen X card for saying this, but I never enjoyed this movie like others of my age range did. It’s just kinda “ok”. The characters are memorable, but also not great, and the story was paint by the numbers, without much in the way of mental gymnastics with the narrative. I definitely don’t get the hero worship everyone has for it. It’s an ok movie that’s somewhat enjoyable to pass an afternoon watching.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
