Industry Reviews
"...[Spielberg and Donner] have seen to it that THE GOONIES has every imaginable funhouse flourish..."
New York Times - p.C12 - Maslin (06/07/1985)
"...A film stamped with the Steven Spielberg style of high fun....A roller coaster ride..."
Variety - Jagr. (06/05/1985)
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."
