Dave Kehr

It's a charmless exercise: director Richard Donner turns the kids into shrieking ferrets, and his jumpy cutting seems to lag behind the action deliberately in a curious attempt to make the film seem more chaotic and cluttered.

Derek Adams

While the pre-pubescents continually scream, their doting parents prove equally odious in a finale of astounding sentimentality.

Roger Ebert

The Goonies is a smooth mixture of the usual ingredients from Steven Spielberg action movies, made special because of the high-energy performances of the kids who have the adventures.

Janet Maslin

The Goonies has every imaginable funhouse flourish. It has crooks, bats, cobwebs, skeletons, a lovable monster, an underground grotto and a treasure hidden by some of the most considerate, clue-loving pirates who ever lived.

Deb Stanley

This movie is the BOOM, Excellent.. I've watch it so many times.. Never get bored.. TOP OF THE LINE MOVIE.. THE BEST! AWESOME Movie... Top the Line.. I never get bored, watch it over and over again... :o)

Sam Rothermel

Still a trip A classic of my youth that remains a massive amount of fun to relive. Terribly cheesy and yet wonderfully touching, it's the kind of movie that "has it all." (Yes, including tweens dropping cuss words with abandon, kids getting shot at and other endless endangerments, and plenty of scary images; remember this picture was made before the advent of PG-13 so viewer beware that your little ones can handle it.)

Awesome The Goonies is wonderful, but not for children. If you're old enough to have kids, then hopefully you're old enough to remember that this movie is full of cussing and innuendos. Love the movie, but wait till your kids are mature enough to appreciate the humor before watching it with them.

Leroy Walker Jr March 17, 2014

Should be PG-13 Watched with my 7 year old. And I was surprised by the amount of swearing in the movie. I've seen it a 100 times, but I didn't remember them swearing as much. Still a great movie, but save it for the older kids.

Jacob Nachimson March 22, 2014

Too inappropriate Must be PG 13. I agree because of the content (not the content), and the swearing. (Yes the swearing!!!!!) Change the swearing and I'll make it a 5.

Raj Bhatt March 23, 2014

One of the best creations in film, period. This movie was robbed of the Oscar for Best Picture. Probably by something that totally didn't deserve it.

Shaun Carroll July 12, 2014

Best movie from my childhood I still put this movie on when i just want to kick back an relax. Cant help but stop on it whenever i see it on tv but the movie is not for the little ones as mentioned by others. I think i was 10 when i first saw it and will probably try to wait that long before watching it with my kids. It is definitely one of those movies from my childhood i want to share with them along with The Monster Squad!

Right in the childhood One of the greatest kid movies ever... This was awesome... Harry Potter is crap! Goonies never say die!

I love this movie When my children were much younger we watched this movie and it has become one of our favorites. We know every line and scene! Its fun to get together and watch it the way we first did all cuddled up on the couch.

Joseph Mistretta November 26, 2013

Nostalgia at its best I loved this movie as a kid. I mean who didnt wish they were or didnt pretend they were in the Goonies growing up? Never gets old. Always waited for a sequel.

Katherine Hendrix December 7, 2013

Awesome family flick I have loved this movie ever since it came out in the 80's. I have watched it over and over. This movie never gets old. Love it.

Phil Kight March 10, 2014

Story of hope Everyone has seen this movie, if you haven't, watch it with your kids. Nice to watch today's big stars when they first started in the business

Felice F March 30, 2014

Still love this movie.. This movie has been a favorite for well over 25 years. It will, no doubt, continue to be one. Action, adventure, friendship, pirates, treasure, escaped convicts, bullet holes! What more could a person ask for from a film? (There is only one other film like this, a bit heavier on the romance side, and that is The Princess Bride)

Love Angel March 15, 2014

Greatest! (-: Greatest movie of all time! Hands down a favorite classic from my childhood♡♥

Jesse Wood March 5, 2014

Classic One of the best movies ever, this will take you back to a better time..

Davinder Kundi March 23, 2014

A brilliant memory One of the best movies from my childhood. All you get is special effects laden movies these days with no story. Kids have no idea how lucky those of us from the 80s are..

RJ Martin August 4, 2014

Man o man, that is a special part of my childhood! Hey you guys! I played this film so much as a kid my grandmother threatened to throw it in the trash. I can resight the whole film line my line! Reverse pressure! The Goonies R alright!
