The story tells of an exciting adventure for a group of children trying to protect their home, where they spend their summer holidays from the foreign invasion that has been lurking for some time. In the end, one of the foreigners will betray them and join the children in the fight to fight against them again.
Jenkins is a bit too McDreamy to play the geeky underdog, and adult viewers will be nostalgic for the chubby, bucktoothed and truly dorky cast of The Goonies.
