The Goonies

The adventure of a lifetime. That's not me being cute, that's the movie delivering exactly what it promises and then some.

Watched it with the kids and we all had a blast. It's sweet, it's endearing, and it never forgets to actually be fun. That's a tougher balance than people give it credit for. A lot of "heartwarming" movies forget the entertainment part. This one pulls both off without breaking a sweat.

The cast of kids absolutely rip.

The cast of kids absolutely rip. Every single one of them locks into their role and you can feel them having the time of their lives. It's a treat watching breakout performances like this, the kind where you know you're seeing something special happen in real time.

And the lines. So many catchy lines. The kind that stick to you for days and probably for years.

Way more than I expected, and I expected to like it. It stuck with me, the kids loved it, and I'd do it all again tomorrow.
