Is The Goonies appropriate for a 6-year-old to watch?

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I say yes. My wife says no.

So settle a bet Era.

 

[FernandoRocker]

Yes. It's a classic.

 

[Carnby]

Yes.

Only if you don't mind the swearing. Beyond that, kids won't understand the mature jokes.

 

[Failburger]

There's a lot of panties flashes, if that concerns you.

 

[Fat4all]

its got its issues but as long as you can tell ur kid "just remember, dont bully fat kids" and whatnot it should be ok

 

[Emergency & I]

Is it streaming anywhere? I want to watch it.

 

[Ogodei]

6? Nah. I'd wait until like 9 or 10, but then again I grew up at a slow pace as an only child with fairly strict parents.

 

[Transistor]

Anything in the movie that is inappropriate is going to go right over a child's head. it's perfect for kids that age because it's a wonderful story of children having an adventure that they can put themselves in the character shoes

 

[The Struggler]

Could be freaked out by that one character but each kid os different

 

[Hiphopopotamus]

Chunk and the Truffle Shuffle taught me empathy, and the comedic power of a young man's chubby tummy.

THATS MY MOMS FAVORITE PART

I've seen The Goonies a million times and don't remember any panty flashes.

 

[Burt]

You should be on Terminator 2 at this point

I'm at least 45% serious

 

[M. Wallace]

Yes

That was the first R-rated movie I ever saw and I was 9.

Doesn't the local jerk use his rear view mirror to look up Andy's skirt?

 

[Nameless]

Yes. It's a kid's movie. One of the best.

 

[Discoalucard]

I saw it when I was five and I turned out OK.

 

[Deleted member 1086]

if she insists on him watching a cartoon instead put on Who Framed Roger Rabbit

 

[Middleman]

That's my mom's favorite PIECE. Get the quote right you mark.

Fun fact, the original line actually was "part" but the ratings board made them change is as it was too explicitly anatomical.

 

[Forgotten_Taco]

My kids watched it the first time at 5. They're doing ok.

 

[NealMcCauley]

The first couple of minutes with the bad guys may be a little intense. Can't remember if they kill anyone during the escape. Other than that it's fine IMO.

they set a fire and theres a lot of shooting

forget if someone gets got

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Couple of bits that are intense and sloth might be a bit scary at first but overall I think the kid should be OK.

Seen the film so many times and I don't remember these shots, a kid won't notice.

 

[Deleted member 20284]

Yes, raise them like it's the 80s.

 

[Gaia Lanzer]

I first saw The Goonies around that age, so, YEAH!

 

[denx]

Yes, but then again when I was six years old I had already watched Terminator, Robocop and Child's Play so what do I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Geeko]

I first saw it when I was 4 or 5 and it's become one of my favorite movies ever. It has a few questionable scenes such as a dead guy with a bullet hole in his head falling on chunk in the freezer but overall I thinks it's appropriate for a 6 year old.

 

[CDX]

I think I was 5 or maybe even 4 four when I saw it for the first time. I loved it.

I don't see why a 6 year old couldn't handle it.

 

[antonz]

It should be fine. The more adult Humor that can appear is done in such a way to go right over kids heads. Its a good family movie that can be enjoyed by young and old

 

[Hopfrog]

I watched it when I was that age so yes.

 

[bunbun777]

Well I watched the Shining when I was 5 so Goonies at 7 wasn't that bad.

 

[devenger]

Bondage joke from Mouth.
Statue's penis breaks off.
Pervy jock checking out panties.
More swearing than you remember.
A STIIIIIIFF!
But yeah, they'll be fine.

 

[Deleted member 25600]

I was watching Robocop 2 when i was 6.

 

[StallionDan]

Yes.

Also Robocop, Terminator and Aliens.

These are definitely kids movies as they all had toy lines in the 80s.

 

[Lylo]

I survived RoboCop at the age of 4 so i think he'll be ok with Goonies.

 

[TrojanAg]

I saw Predator and the Fly by then. I turned out alright I guess.

 

[Jarate]

It depends on the kid honestly. there might be stuff the scares him in it, but I dont remember there being anything explicit

 

[Stopdoor]

I was kind of freaked out by the monster guy as a kid, I forget how old I was. The initial scenes with him are pretty scary?

Though, ET also freaked me out as a kid because he's so creepy looking and sounding, maybe I was soft.

 

[Raleigh00]

Yeah, I think I was around 4 when I first saw it. Do The Lost Boys next.

 

[Keuja]

Would your kid be scared of Sinok? If not, go for it. That's a legendary movie.

 

[Whitemex]

Why does Chunk get to decide without consulting his parents that a large strange male adult is going to be living with them?

 

[Tappin Brews]

my family watches this several times a year starting a few years ago. my son is now 6. hell yeah.

andy, you goonie!!!!

 

[8byte]

Yes. It's 2019, he'll know way more than the Goonies will teach him before he's 10 years old. This isn't the 1980s anymore, lol.

 

[Kuro]

Sloth might give your kid nightmares

 

[Rygar 8Bit]

I was 4 or 5 when I first saw it. Was already watching horror/slasher movies by that age. He'll survive.

 

[Kevers]

Yeah, I saw it younger than that I believe. You might get a fan of one of the best theme songs around.
