The Goonies

"The Goonies" kicks off strong with a great first act that really captures the energy of being a kid in the '80s. It’s fun watching the group of teens hanging out, pranking each other, and getting into all kinds of creative mischief around the house. It’s a bit of a throwback to when kids actually spent time together in person, unlike today, where everyone’s glued to a screen. The story flows perfectly from one act to the next, thanks to Richard Donner’s solid directing. He’s known for classics like Superman, Lethal Weapon, and The Omen, so no surprise he nailed it here too. Overall, this is a perfect pick for family movie night.
