I liked it. Reminded me of Goonies. The ending was a bit lame, but the story had heart.
The potty mouthed kids got on my nerves after a while.

How cool is that!! Did you see any of the actors around town?drenee said:It was filmed in my town, and part of it one street over. They did set up on my street.

FYI, the movie takes place in the summer of 1979. I think Spielberg was being nostalgic and going back to his early days.Betsy the Quilter said:Is it just me, or did the whole movie (and I'm not talking about the setting) have a 70s vibe? The style of it really reminded me of movies from an earlier time... Maybe because it didn't seem to rely so much on special effects. It "felt" like a movie I would have watched in the 70s/early 80s. Those of you who are too young to have watched movies during that time don't need to answer, LOL!

I was addressing more the style of the film-making itself, not the setting. It seemed to me to be the kind of movie that would have been made then. Made me nostalgic for movies that didn't depend on CGI. And Spielberg produced it, but it was directed by JJ Abrams?Tripp said:FYI, the movie takes place in the summer of 1979.
