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.

Rated: 3/4

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 think the love of this movie is caught up in the childhood nostalgia of those who watched it when young. As an adult, it just... didn't work so well. It is just okay.

I really enjoy this film. It is so well paced and so entertaining. What is really engaging are the characters and the casting, they really carry the movie. The story is a pretty standard adventure but there is enough happening that it never becomes boring. There are some elements that some people may say are outdated. I loved watching this fun adventure and it is not just nostalgia talking.

Chaotic and messy, but in all the good ways possible. The Goonies is a rollicking adventure that captures the wild, unfiltered imagination of childhood. Its impact on the culture is also not to be understated.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

To be honest, it was dull and cheesy. Just a lot of incoherent yelling to a never ending soundtrack. I just tuned out.
