Maybe the last adventure: briefly; The Goonies are a group of kids from this community; their leader is Michael "Mikey" Walsh [Sean Astin:] he is an asthmatic that comes up with the idea to save their home/community that The Goonies would go and search for One-Eye Willy's treasure, alongside the oldest member of The Goonies and is older brother Brandon "Brand" Walsh [Josh Brolin:] he is in high school and the athletic member of The Goonies; The Goonies have just about one day to achieve this before they lose everything that is important to them.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 114 minutes film is good; it clear I know is what it wants to do and just get on with it really

Comedy, action and art; well this is one of those occasions where I just have to say; as it is; it makes being overweight one of its legacy moments; known as The Truffle Shuffle as performed by Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen [Jeff Cohen:] he is a chunky member of The Goonies: that likes his food and in fact he can smell it out as well: by the way a quick description of this dance move is where; he lives up his top and shakes his tummy,  Clark "Mouth" Devereaux [Cory Freeman:] he is the mouthy one of the group and as you will see he can also speak Spanish, in one sequence he gives the wrong interpretation on purpose, as it relates to the action sequences the majority of  The Goonies strapping Brand to this chair, using this old-style of strict weight/resistance so here it acts like a rope and finally we have Richard "Data" Wang [Ke Huy Quan:] he is an inventor/gadget guy on The Goonies: let's just say some of the gadgets are broadly speaking a hit or miss throughout this adventure: such as these slippery heel shoes as they make the ground slightly behind him with works or then this boxing glove that works or you get hit in the face by it. The art as it relates to these booby-traps have been excellently thought through such as for this morning referenced because I don't want to give too much away this beautifully constructed piano concept with deadly consequences if you should fail, but on top of that from beginning to end we have little bits to see and to experience.

Character developments and performances; as you may have guess by now this film uses a simple yet, in-depth character types designation style of character developments and this goes for the entire cast including the ones I haven't referenced and because of this; you can also merge the coming-of-age style of character developments as well: so from an overview perspective in one day these children/teenagers are richer for this experience; the cast of performances are founded upon chemistry or/dynamic on some level or another; so based on all this and decided to award another mark to this title.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; it most definitely deserves to be seen once in your lifetime, I mean I hadn't seen it all the way through until today [Sunday,] when I had the opportunity to go and see this film at the cinema for its 40th anniversary, with the person I watch some of this content with. This film also has some wards accredited to its name such as 4 Winners the includes but not limited to National Film Preservation Board, USA 2017 and 7 Nominees which also includes but not limited to Young Artist Awards 1986 Young Artist Award Exceptional Performance by a Young Actress - Motion Picture Martha Plimpton as  Stephanie "Stef" Steinbrenner: she is a young lady that can handle herself, as she and Kerri Green as Andrea Theresa "Andy" Carmichael: she is a warm and a well rounded person that happens to be a cheerleader as well: these two women are best friends that join The Goonies in this adventure.
