Reviews:
"...[Spielberg and Donner] have seen to it that THE GOONIES has every imaginable funhouse flourish..." - 06/07/1985 New York Times, p.C12
"...A film stamped with the Steven Spielberg style of high fun....A roller coaster ride..." - 06/05/1985 Variety
4 stars out of 5 -- "A kind of talismanic film for anyone born circa 1975, Richard Donner's seven-kids-go-in-search-of-pirate-treasure is boisterous, undisciplined fun....This is nostalgic gold." - 12/01/2008 Empire, p.197
"[T]he real magic of the movie is how it took Spielberg's rollicking Indiana Jones formula -- secret portals, fun-house skeletons, Rube Goldberg booby traps -- and adapted it to a world that kids could relate to....It's ridiculously fun." -- Grade: A- - 10/27/2010 Entertainment Weekly
