Amazon.co.uk Review
You may be surprised to discover that the director of the Lethal Weapon movies and scary horror flick The Omen, Richard Donner, also produced and directed this classic children's adventure (which, by the way, was written by Donner's screen-wizard friend Steven Spielberg). Then again you may not. The Goonies, like Donner's other movies, is the same story of good versus evil. It has its share of bad guys (the Fratelli brothers and their villainous mother), reluctant-hero good guys (the Walsh bothers and their gang of friends), and lots of corny one-liners. Like in an old-fashioned Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew plot, the Goonies need to solve a problem: a corrupt corporate developer has bought out their neighbourhood and plans to flatten all their homes. Luckily, the beloved gang stumbles on a treasure map. In the hopes of finding the treasure to buy back their houses, the Goonies embark on their quest through underground passages, aboard pirate ships, and behind waterfalls. This swashbuckling and rollicking ride was also a great breeding ground for a couple of child actors who went on to enjoy numerous successes in adulthood: Sean Astin (Rudy, Encino Man) and Martha Plimpton (Pecker, 200 Cigarettes). --Samantha Allen Storey, Amazon.com

Synopsis
A thrill-a-minute adventure film. When brothers Mikey (Sean Astin) and Brand (Josh Brolin) learn that greedy developers are forcing their family to move, they and their friends decide to have one last, precious adventure together. With the help of a treasure map they've found in the attic, the group, known as the Goonies, go in search of buried gold hoping against hope that if they find it, Mikey and Brand will succeed in keeping their home.

Superb
Perhaps the greatest childrens film ever. Great cast, great chemistry between the characters and soe of the most famous scenes i kids movie ever. There are so many poor over hyped expensive movies and this one slips through the lists of all time greats. A testament for any great film is the continuing success of its cast. Sean Asti has steadily continued to make popular films, not always good, but he tries, although i a igorig Lord of the Rings (Superb). Josh Brolin had a bit of a black hole int he middle but is filtering back onto the big screen. Corey Feldman was popular even when the film was made and Data had already bee a star in Indiana Jones. Whle Joe Pantoliano has done many great projects. It is fun for the family and it has aged well through the years, bravo to all i love it.

great fun
I always liked this film. Now I can watch it anytime I like in perfect quality with no ad breaks.
