Stephanie "Stef" Steinbrenner (Martha Plimpton)

Character Analysis

Why Am I Here?

If we were Stef, we'd be asking ourselves the same question.

Throughout the movie, Stef does…virtually nothing. She has no particular skills, or quirks, or eccentricities. She breaks her glasses early on. Big whoop.

Other than that, she's just kind of there. It's almost like the writer decided there couldn't be just one female Goonie, so he threw another one in there to make everyone happy. Okay, so she has a few brief moments in the spotlight. She's the one who sees Andy kiss Mikey, so she's privy to a little information that most people aren't. And there's a little something-something going on between her and Mouth. But for the most part, she's set dressing.
