Rating: Summary: This movie ruled! Review: This movie was the best movie I've ever seen! I watch it over and over again and I'm still not tired of it. It has a ton of action, comedy and adventure, along with really unique characters. Also, the kids actually act like-- kids. Not like those movies like "Hey Arnold" where the elementary school kids act like middle schoolers and the sixth-graders act like high- school gyps, and the little kids and adults are just babyish. Well, not in here-- the kids are just like real life kids, and the adults speak in intelligent sentences-- like real life adults. It's just as funny as it is exciting. It's a non-stop roller coaster ride all through the film-- even the conversations have a hiliarious touch to them. And Chunk is the most HILARIOUS kid I've seen all my life! In the scenes with the Fratellis I couldn't stop laughing! Especially where he says all those things about the bad moments that happened in his life ...! And I love that scream he does whenever he sees a corpse. My little sister loved it, too-- she loved the part where they play that skeleton piano thing. And she loved the part with the dead body in the freezer. I loved every bit of it. All in all, I recommend the Goonies to anyone who loves humor, adventure and fun-- all built into one movie. ...
Rating: Summary: "Hey you guys!!!!" Review: One of my favorite movies from the 80's! I was only 4 when it came out and I loved it the first time I saw it....
Rating: Summary: Growing Up with the Goonies Review: Like a lot of Eightie's kids I grew up watching The Goonies. There's so much nostalgia in it for me. One summer I watched this movie every other day, it seems. It was on the Disney Channel, and my parents taped it, and get this: it had the deleted scenes, in their proper placement! When I heard other Goonies fans talk about the deleted octopus scene and convenience store scene, I was confused, because I always saw the movie with them in it. Weird, huh? In fact, who decided to take them out?Anyway, there's no denying that this movie is still funny and adventure-filled without seeming too out-dated. Don't let the 1985 date fool you: it's as good and fun as the Indiana Jones movies. The special effects look great, even without fancy computer animation. Kids will stay entertained with its fast-paced story, and those of us that are older will appreciate lines like: "'1632, is that a date or something?' 'No, it's your top score on Pole Position.'" and the irony of "Mikey, I'm gonna hit you so hard, when you wake up, your clothes will be outta style!" Maybe the clothes really will be back in style someday. The DVD release promises to be perfect for every true Goonies fan. It Includes commentary by the whole cast, those deleted scenes, and Cyndi Lauper's music video. If you're interested in a movie with good character dynamics, a Steven Spielberg story, and something that's appropriate for the whole family, you should already own this movie. If not, I'm telling you, this is first-rate family entertainment. You won't be dissappointed.

You are worried that you will never see your friends again. Wouldn't it be cool if you could find some way to stop it? You decide to look for a treasure. You look with your friends so that you will all be able to find the gold and stay together. This is the main plot of "The Goonies" "The Goonies" was a great movie. It had a simply great plot that will blow you away. There were quite a few funny parts. There were some amazing obstacles and you didn't know if the boys would get away past them. The action was incredibly tense. The climax was very exciting, and the denouement was a good relief. The screenwriter did a terrific job with the screenplay. The cast put a lot of effort into their performances. Overall, we really enjoyed this movie. In spite of our enjoyment, there were some flaws with "The Goonies". We noticed a few small plot holes, but they weren't that bad. Also, there was inappropriate language, and it just wasn't necessary. Some of the humor was a little inappropriate, too. This movie is scary in a bad way because things suddenly jump out at the characters. We think that children under the age of six should not see "The Goonies". We recommend "The Goonies" for kids and adults who like adventure movies. Even though it has flaws, we think it's a great movie. We hope you enjoy this movie as much as we did.

Rating: Summary: Adult Loves this Great Kid's Movie Review: Great kid's movie and super fun for adult viewers. The Goonies are a band of kids not unlike the summer clubs we used to form in my neighborhood. Their summertime adventure begins with one of the members' home being threatened, and it doesn't end until they find the treasure that permits the kid's father to do what is necessary to save his house. It's the in between part, the real story, you'll want to watch over and over again. "Real life" beasties, fantastic adventure: This movie goes a long way to satisfy the explorer in each of us. A must own.
Rating: Summary: An 80's Classic Review: Every kid grows up with fantasies of adventures filled with buried treasure, secret passages, and fighting bad guys. This is the reason this movie appealed to so many kids back in the 80's because here that fantasy was portrayed for real. This is an unforgettable classic which gets new life on DVD. The DVD is finally in widescreen and it looks nice, but not great. Same goes for the sound, but the best part has to be the commentary. All the kids are in it and they have some hilarious anecdotes about the filming and all the pop culture of the time. This DVD is a must see if you grew up on this movie like I did.
Rating: Summary: Goonies -- Childhood Classic Review: This movie was one of my favorites as a child and watching it today relives so many great childhood memories. This is a great movie for its nostalgic value and its simple, good-hearted storyline. A must have for all people who grew up in the 80's or for those looking for a movie for their children.
Rating: Summary: this is such an adorable movie Review: Ok I admit It. Im 13 and I just saw this movie for the first time a month ago lol! I really didn't think I was going to like it. But I told myself It was made in the 80s it cant be that perfect right? But it had everything a great movie should have drama comedy suspense. The goonies movie Is awesome!
Rating: Summary: The Goonies are good enough! Review: This is one of my favorite movies. I watched it all the time as a kid and now as an adult. If you havent seen or heard about the Goonies, you must have been living in a cave. This is a great childrens' adventure story about a group of kids known as the Goonies who want to save their homes and go on a treasure hunt to get the money needed. Along the way they meet up with criminals and a series of booby traps. This dvd is great because the commentary is terrific. The commentary was made very recently because Sean Astin was doing one of the Lord of the Rings movies. Its great to see what they look like now and all the little quirks that went into making the movie. Plus it features Cyndi Lauper's video " Goonies are good enough". This is a terrific dvd and a terrific movie that is a must have.
