| | THE GOONIES - DVD |
 | | The Goonies is my generation's Gunga Din: ugly, patronizing, loud, slapstick, and predictably popular, with a cheap redemption theme tacked on at the end to sweeten the fetid stew. |
 | | The Goonies is so hamstrung by the fashion, venality, and closet racism of its time that the only possible appeal it could hold for a self-aware viewer is that of an uneasy nostalgia. |
 | | Calling themselves "Goonies" because they live in the "Goondocks" (uh huh), these irrepressible youngsters discover a pirate's map, the found gold of which could save their slum from evil developers looking to revitalize their area. |
