In the case of The Goonies, our seven-year-old was much more apt to leave the room for several minutes, because she did not like the treasure hunt that led to the creepy restaurant with the scary villains. All kids express themselves differently, and all kids believe any particular thing might be scary. I believe this film is proof positive that every single kid in this world is different. This was a ruse to lure the guard in and incapacitate him, but we did not feel this particular scene was appropriate for our kids.īeyond this scene, there are car chases, gun fire, and creepy, dungeon-like sequences where the Goonies are traveling underground to find their way to a hidden treasure, which we did let our kids watch. So, we did not show our kids the opening scene that highlighted one of the three criminals, where he pretended to be hung from a noose in his jail cell.

PG Rating, via Motion Picture Association of America: “Some Material May Not Be Suitable for Children – Parents urged to give ‘parental guidance.’ May contain some material parents might not like for their young children.”įor all parents everywhere, I must warn you that my wife and I were overly cautious when showing both kids The Goonies. In addition, here’s the rating of the film: He said he had plans to restore the house personally, but that’s on hold because of another opportunity.Spoiler Warning: If you have not seen The Goonies, please know that I will be discussing key elements of the film, so if you want to watch the film and haven’t seen it, this is your warning that we’ll be talking about major highlights to the film.

He has a couch of the same type that was used in the movie it just needs to be reupholstered. The inside of the home doesn’t resemble what is seen on the big screen.
