Let it first be said that I once met Richard Donner, and he was a great guy. (Superman and Conspiracy Theory, both solid flicks.) Let it also be said that I once loved the idea of a Goonies reunion movie. I mean, wouldn't we all love to get Martha Plimpton some more work?
But, if this craptastic script synopsis is any indication, I think I'd rather see a sequel to Gymkata:
Sayeth director Donner: "The new group is called the Groonies, because they happen to live in a town where (Data), the Chinese kid, lives ... and he's got an electronics repair shop and all the kids hang out at his shop. He has this Chinese accent and he calls the Goonies the Groonies, and so the new kids call themselves the Groonies, until they get into a situation where the old Goonies have to save the new Groonies, or vice versa."
Lord help us.
