Intense action scenes...enticing wardrobe...quixotic narrations... What more can you say about this delectable movie? Three teeny boppers find an abandoned boatyard in Emerald Cove.If you thought that the Goonies was the signature movie for the 90's, you haven't been on the tumultuous ride that Treasure takes you on. Treasure has you biting your nails and cracking your knuckles at the same time. It keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what these crazy kids are going to do next.The film quality is impeccable. The sound quality is even more delicious. The adventure these kids take you on leaves you spun out at the end, wanting more. The villains are truly frightful, and the reality of using real overweight actors shows the heart of America, the overweight fast-food society of our generation.Treasure is the signature movie for the adventures children of the 90's. If you have any culture in film-making or even film watching, Treasure is truly a family hit you don't want to miss. Two thumbs very up.Sequel anyone?

I had the interesting experience of working on this film as an assistant editor with Robert Paul. I had not been a part of principal photography, or even the initial rough cut. When it came to me, we worked on it steadily for 15-20 hour days for three straight weeks. I appreciate aspects of the film given its lack of budget, but there were far too many sequences where there was just not enough film footage to make much sense. It's kind of like the idea of the current Disney film 'Holes'. The Treasure is pock-marked with many craters.. It was a neat experience seeing it on the silver screen. Yes, it's not very good as a finished film, but it was a fun experience, and young kids (very young...) seem to enjoy some of the antics.

I remember watching this when I was about 10. My mom rented it for my brother and me, she said it was going to be like the Goonies. Well, it wasn't. My brother and I thought it was the worst movie we had ever seen, up until that point in time. I've seen it a few times on tv since then and my feelings are the same. to be avoided

A film so ridiculously deritive that you know what's going to happen as the opening credits come up. A film so bad that you don't care. The three kids mysteriously grow 4-5 inches in some scenes, obviously shot months later in order to help out the plot or because the filmmakers ran out of money and couldn't shoot the film all at once.The deus-ex-machina ending is acted so badly that all actors and crew should hang their head in shame.
