A good family comedy from the 80's
930471
Here are another good couple of movies from my childhood. I hadn't even thought about them for a while, until I saw news article online that a third one is in the works "Three Men and a Bride". When I read that article, it brought back all the fun memories of these movies, and how much I liked them. I haven't seen them probably in over 10 years. I will be happy to watch them again with my family now, and relive a piece of my younger days. I am a child of the 80's, and its alway fun for me to see some those good movies that came out of that decade, especially the funny ones. For wife who is a child of the 90's, this will be her first time ever seeing them. Most of my favorite movies, she has never seen or even heard of, so they are fun to share with her. My sons will not have a clue, but maybe someday when they are old enough, they will watch some of their dad's old movies with me. My oldest (2), already likes the cartoons from those days, so maybe when he is a little older, he might like the movies too.

Hillarious comedy, family stuff with a great message that just makes it funnier. The sequel is just funny but worth watching. The price is good.

This DVD set is amazing. I remember watching this show as a young child and I was absolutely enamored with it. Yes, it was cheezie at times, but overall it had lots of comedy, the story lines were pretty good, and he could fly (sometimes).
Good family fun from a simpler time.

I received this DVD in great condition and on time. It is an enjoyable movie which is one of the few that is out there that can actually be watched as a family

I loved this when it was on TV and was glad to see it come out on DVD.  It's cool because the house the dad and kids move into is all controlled by a computer, which ends up going haywire.  It's funny and interesting.  They should put out more of their movies.

Boy, THIS sure brings back a whole lot of memories. Flight of the Navigator, Milo & Otis, Casper, and now The Goonies are just some of the family films that I remember watching when I was a little kid. I sure had a good time watching them either alone or with the entire family. The Goonies  I particularly remember very well for the underground adventures, and the characters Chunk & Sloth. They make a great duo, don't they? The booby traps and the "keys" to the hidden treasure were a bit frightening back then, but now they're pretty imaginative. This, along with the other family films that I've mentioned above never gets tedious. Of course, they don't! We loved them when we were kids, and it's not such a bad thing when you're looking for some childhood nostalgia. Although I slightly prefer Milo & Otis and others, The Goonies is still a great one.

Good script, interesting characters, plenty of fun moments mixed with 1970s rock n roll make this a family favorite.  It is family friendly and has the two things that make a movie great for my 7 year son..  swords.  sword-fighting.  Throw in a good love story and a dreamy star, according to my daughters when describing Heath ledger and this is an above average movie worthy of 4 stars - very good.
The story is about a commoner who pretends to be a nobleman.  he gathers a "pit crew" of sorts and enters the josting circuit.  I immediately makes a friend of an important person, but an enemy of another, creating the main tension in the story.
If you haven't seen this one yet, go rent it tonight.

For a cheesy early 80's film, it is pretty good.  Michael Ironside is a very underrated actor.  He is always so good.  I've been wanting this movie for years and finally bought it.  It is a very good premise for a movie.  If you can get past the dated-ness of the movie, it is a keeper.

I ran into this film by accident on HBO and was instantly hooked. It turned out to be a surprisingly good film. It is a good family film, light, a little corny, but a feel-good film. You leave the film just feeling good. So rare these days for family films. In fact, some "family" films really push the envelope of decency and appropriateness for the sake of "appealing" to the audience, instead of telling a darn good story. Even animated family films these days push it.

The story is a little fantastical - similar to "Big Fish" (2004) - and at times corny. But the corniness and the silliness makes the story light, enjoyable, and funny.

This is a movie that is fun and worth watching.

My family just loved this movie. It was the best show I have seen in a long time. It was so funny and the acting was excellent. This is a good clean movie the whole family can enjoy.

I saw the ad on TV before this movie aired and thought it might be worth while to watch.  I was very pleased with this movie.  The writing is very good (nice dialog) and the cast are first rate performers.  This is a very fun family movie (if you can get your hands on it!)  Pop some popcorn and sit back and relax.  My only serious complain is that it is virtually impossible to find a copy of this movie.  I found a VHS copy somehow (now I see that you can only buy used copies and they are pricey!)

I ordered this movie because I remember seeing it and the Yellow Cab Man in the '60s on Million Dollar Movie (NYC's Channel 9, right after supper). I laughed like an idiot back then and it's just about as funny today. Here is a movie you can watch with your kids and not have to worry about sex, violence and bad language. Really, think about it, how many movies can you say that about today. I really like the fact that Red Skelton never went dirty in his humor and when you see this film, you will know why he never had to - he was a great physical comedian. And despite the age of the movie, today's kids will actually get the gags.  Unlike the Stooges, the slap stick scenes are fast paced and often done on a grand scale (there is a great chase sequence in a warehouse that is priceless). The thing about slap stick, when done right, is that once you get laughing, you're hooked. The plot is classic '40s good vs. evil and unlike a lot of movies today, good wins. And the bad guys go to jail. And Red gets the girl. And they live happily ever after. If you have kids or are a big kid yourself, do yourself a favor and order this one. It is one funny movie.

I've seen this movie so long ago that I just had to get it.  When I saw this again, it is still a very funny movie.  If you want a good laugh get this movie.  I think this movie would be alright for young family members to see as well.  A great movie!
