Goonies

A group of kids discover a treasure map that leads them on an Indiana Jones-style adventure. Hindering them in their pursuit of the treasure is the Fratelli family, which is made up of a hardened criminal and her three sons. One of them, the physically deformed Sloth, has a kind heart and decides to help the kids instead of trying to harm them. Throughout the adventure, the young friends face many obstacles, but they are thrilled to be able to operate in a world where they feel grown-up and independent. What's more, if they're able to retrieve the treasure, they plan to use it to save their neighborhood from being taken over by a golf course.

Dove Review

This is a film about a group of misfit kids who call themselves the Goonies. They look at things differently than other kids, and in today’s world they would be the geeks. Mike and his brother Brand, along with the others, find an old treasure map in their attic and so the adventure begins.

Mike believes the map can save their homes from the wrecking ball if they find the treasure it points to. Together the group finds the place where the treasure may be, but the gang that has escaped the police gets in their way.

Slapstick comedy fills this movie from beginning to end as the kids search for the treasure and try to outsmart the bad guys. It is entertaining and an adventure everyone will remember. Unfortunately, due to content that sets it outside our guidelines we can not approve this film.
