Honestly, if they would have taken the older brother out of this one I would have enjoyed it a lot better. The guy wasn't a great actor which only served to make a toxic masculinity-style role even more annoying. I'm also not sure why the main character was given a "tough NYC attitude" after the move and why they didn't opt to remove it completely when they realized the actress couldn't do it well and it just came off looking really stupid and insulting. The friends were the best part of this one. The goofy younger boy and the intelligent older girl who held on to traditions, really made the film enjoyable. Well, them and the gorgeous scenery. I am sure kids will love it, but most adults will remember Goonies and compare the two, even if they're trying not to. It felt like an homage to that film, but it just lacked the pop of that one.
