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

Kids searching for the treasure to save their home. 80s crass humor and every little kid's dream of finding treasure.

This movie was hilarious! I rewatched it earlier today because we forgot to on the 40th anniversery, and it was an awesome story. I really like Data and his projects, along with Sloth and his chaos! All of the goonies were just fun characters in general, and it made this movie a great watch. I'm inevitably going to get my best friend to watch this as well just to see her face.
