Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel 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. Apr 6, 2020 Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune A funny juvenile windup toy about kids in perilous, comic book situations. Rated: 3/4 Apr 6, 2020 Full Review Richard Corliss TIME Magazine The Goonies is as hip, sassy and innocent as its seven teenage heroes. Apr 6, 2020 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn To this day, I still quote this movie. It's hard not to love this movie. Rated: 5/5 Nov 28, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 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 Jun 7, 2023 Full Review Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight “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 Dec 25, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Hao Ian L Chaotic and messy, but in all the good ways possible. <i>The Goonies</i> 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 09/03/25 Full Review Joshua m To be honest, it was dull and cheesy. Just a lot of incoherent yelling to a never ending soundtrack. I just tuned out. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Andy C We all wanted to crack Mama Fratelli she was a baddie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review David W A great adventure comedy that's not just for kids but the young at heart of any age. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Gregory P Among my all-time favorite films. I WAS those kids. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Gareth v It’s chaotic at times and definitely wears its 80s style proudly, but that’s part of its lasting charm. The Goonies remains a magical, heartfelt adventure that’s endlessly rewatchable—a true classic that reminds us how it felt to believe in hidden treasure and the unbreakable bonds of youth. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
