Reviews for The Goonies
Donner's direction of Spielberg's tale is noisy, choppy and surprisingly pedestrian.
Replete with lavish and quirky set design, goofily harmless antics, and smart scoring, Donner manages to delight and surprise at every turn in a coming of age tale the likes of which is rarely seen.
Loud music, even louder kids, loud sound effects make for one of the most annoying motion pictures ever made.
