"I just saw Hidden Figures yesterday and I’m so glad that I saw it at the New Year, because I feel like that’s exactly what you want to get off on the right foot for 2017. I saw it with my husband and my kids. My kids are 11 and eight, and it was a phenomenal experience. I saw it at the ArcLight in Hollywood and the house was full. Everybody was so vocal. We clapped, we laughed, we cried. It was like watching a play. I really don’t know how to describe it. Afterwards we went out to eat and I could not shut up about it. I could not stop talking about it."

"Okay the next one, and it’s a big one, is The Goonies. I think it’s almost self-explanatory. I remember seeing The Goonies as a kid and I think it’s that sense of — it is almost like a Scooby-Doo-esque adventure become real, and I think that’s what made it so appealing to me as a kid. It wasn’t that it was raucous and loud, it was that these kids were incredibly relatable. They were real kids. They came in all shapes and sizes, they were incredibly flawed, and very funny. They were rude, they bickered; they just felt so real, and they were a lot of fun because of that. So yeah, The Goonies — huge influence."

Considering the source material, I think the writers have come up with a pretty decent story, they also haven't shied away from the source either but made it palatable for the wider audience.

My son and I both thoroughly enjoyed it, there were giggles for grown ups and kids.
It moved at a fast pace but my son kept up with it all, and even gleaned most of the meaning when mixed languages were being spoken (he can't read all the words himself yet!)

It is what it is, a fun feel good family movie, with a little bit of a 90s comedy style to it.
Perfect to watch with the kids.
