Reviews for The Goonies
Nothing more than cookbook filmmaking.
02/01/07
Donner's direction of Spielberg's tale is noisy, choppy and surprisingly pedestrian.
09/08/01
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.
02/01/07
Top CriticWhile the pre-pubescents continually scream, their doting parents prove equally odious in a finale of astounding sentimentality.

Loud music, even louder kids, loud sound effects make for one of the most annoying motion pictures ever made.
01/01/00
I find nothing entertaining about kids screaming for two hours.
07/26/02
...lacks charm, wit, or warmth, yet appears to remain a hit with children because of its frenetic pace, slapstick gags, goofy characters, and slightly naughty language.

All parceled up in one of those gooey 'money doesn't buy happiness' endings so beloved by multimillionaire producers.
06/08/05
Tries way too hard.

A rolicking good time is had by all in this adventure that is built on archetypal plot strands that tie together oh so well.
