The stereotypes Gen X grew up with that are the characters in this movie don’t work these days. Even the kids being kinda feral isn’t the same. They can’t relate.
I mean, to be fair I was the right age for this movie, but it just never crossed my tv set. My Goonies was The Sandlot. I watched Goonies somewhat later in life and…it’s just not my childhood movie. So it was meh to me. Different strokes.
What’s wrong with your kids?

My brothers loved this movie. I hated The Goonies as a kid. It was a bad story that made little to no sense to me.
I agree you have to hit these movies at the right time as I was almost 20 when the Sandlot came out and that movie did nothing for me.
You’re killing me, Smalls
