Hey, I really liked Goonies!  It was plain simple fun.  Yes, it
was Disneyish and made for kids, but so what?  I go to the movies
for entertainment, and this one definitely entertained me.  (Maybe
I'm strange because I don't need all sorts of social messages and
great significances from the movies, just an enjoyable evening.)

I think this is a good movie for kids.  It's "scary" in a fun way
without grossing anyone out.  I went with a 6 year old to Raiders
of the Lost Ark when it first came out -- he was excited about
seeing "Hans Solo".  Right after the movie ended, I asked him how
he liked it, and he said "I think I'm going to be sick."  So how's
that for "good" entertainment?  (We saw Raiders right after it
opened, so we hadn't heard a thing about it maybe being a little
too much for a young kid.  Yes, I liked Raiders.)

Anyway, Goonies is fun.  Be a kid again and see it from that
perspective.
