When a group of misfit kids (who call themselves the Goonies) finds a 17th-century treasure map in the attic of one of their houses, they have no choice but to go on a treasure hunt. After all, it�s their only hope. If they don�t find some money (and fast!) some developers are going to tear down the kids� houses, build a country club, and split up the Goonies.
As they look for the treasure that will save their homes�and their friendship�the kids� adventure takes them through underground tunnels filled with booby-traps and skeletons. As if that weren�t bad enough, they�re also being followed by a family of criminals�and one of their friends is locked in the dungeon with a terrifying mutant called Sloth.
Steven Spielberg�s The Goonies is a fun and exciting adventure for kids of almost all ages (though the language and the scary scenes might not be appropriate for younger viewers).
The characters are a great mix of silly, stereotypical kids: the tough guy, the geek, the fat kid, the scrawny kid, the cheerleader. And they�re all played by favorites like Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, and Josh Brolin.
Sure, The Goonies is a bit cheesy. And yes, the kids keep getting themselves into more trouble because they don�t think before they speak. But it�s a classic family adventure nonetheless.
The Goonies is a fun, carefree movie from a carefree time�when all that really mattered was hanging out with your friends after school. It�s an entertaining blast from the past�one that (now that you�re all grown up) you�ll want to share with your own kids.
