The Goonies (1985)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Richard Donner
Cast: Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman
Running Time: 114 minutes

 


A group of kids living in the Goon Docks area of Astoria, Oregon, go on an adventure to find the long lost fortune of a 17-th century pirate in an effort to save their homes from foreclosure. In the process, they encounter the Fratellis, a family of criminals involved in nefarious projects.

This was a major film in my youth. I am just of the right age to have been its target audience back in the day. Looking at it today, it has aged quite a bit. The acting is not the best, even though many of the cast members went on to bigger and better things. It is quite cheesy and silly, but a lot of fun nonetheless. Visually, it still holds up today. Overall, this was a nice trip down memory lane.
