Goonies

Pros: well crafted story, funny and exciting, works for the whole family, chuck, cast

Cons: none

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended for its strong story, and its message of overcoming the odds to do something great and adventurous.

Review: Steven Spielberg has always known exactly what audiences are looking for, and when he wrote up the story to The Goonies he must have known that it would become a success. With the added talents of screen-writer Chris Columbus and Director Richard ...

Pros: Energy

Cons: Can I go into denial?

The Bottom Line: I simply love this flick.

Review: Richard Donner, director of such classics as Timeline, and Conspiracy Theory... Wait a second maybe he's not the greatest director afterall. Well he must be getting old or something because back in the ...

Pros: Good old-fashioned mid-eighties Spielberg fun.

Cons: You'll feel like you're babysitting...only you're not getting paid.

The Bottom Line: With movies like The Goonies, first impressions are everything. When I watch this movie, I'm 14 years old again.

Review: It's a dangerous thing to re-visit movies that were childhood favorites. For every one that stands the test of time (such as Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory), there are handfuls of other ones that make you a bit embarrassed at your...

Pros: Too many to name! Very funny and brings back 80s memories for me.

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: A funny 80s comedy about a group of kids that try to save their homes by searching for a buried treasure

Review: Who can believe in was almost 20 years ago that I saw Goonies at my local mall in the summer of 1985? I was only 7 at the time, but this movie is a classic to our Generation Xers. Hopefully they’ll replay this at theatres next year for a special ...

Pros: The quintessential childhood adventure movie of kids who grew up in the eighties

Cons: A few unbelievable moments, but can you fault that?

The Bottom Line: I was Sloth, shouting, "HEY YOU GUYS!"

Review: I grew up in the eighties, and I think "Goonies" is the quintessential childhood adventure movie of this generation. When I first saw it all those years ago I loved it and, having seen it again just a few days ago, I remembered why. This ...

Pros: funny dialogue and situations, memorable quotes

Cons: occasional poor editing mistakes

Review: While this movie came out while I was growing up, I still find people quoting from this movie all the time. While it's editing job in the original VHS version has a few mistakes (including a bit of dialogue still in the movie which talks about scenes...

Pros: Great family movie, fun to watch

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: This film keeps you wanting more, fun to watch with anyone.

Review: When you watch “The Goonies” for the first time, it takes you back to when you were younger and you had that certain group of friends that you did everything with. These friends are always looking for adventure, but little did they know they ...

Pros: Amazing plot, great acting, It is The Goonies, enough said

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Great movie to entice your imagination and bring back you the inner kid in you.

Review: I really don't understand how anybody can give this movie a bad review, unless of course you never had a childhood or an imagination. Growing up, I never knew the name of this movie, I just knew it was my favorite movie and whenever it came on I was ...

Pros: Just plain great

Cons: none

Review: There is no other way to describe this movie, than to say it is one of the biggest movies from my childhood. This is where have of my quotes came from as a kid, and there was no other movie that I could sit and watch over and over, that was still as...

Pros: Everything! It's the perfect feel good film.

Cons: The treasure; reminds me of chocolate coins I get in my stocking at christmas!

The Bottom Line: A wonderful family adventure, that really suits all ages. There is some cursing, so keep an eye on very young viewers.

Review: With Steven Spielberg directing, this film is obviously likely to be a succes. And it is! It starts with four friends, and one of their older brothers dreaming of being rich so that they could save their house from being demolished. As luck would have ...
