Stand by Me

"IF I COULD ONLY HAVE ONE FOOD TO EAT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE?" "THAT'S EASY. PEZ. CHERRY FLAVOR PEZ. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT."

After learning that a boy their age has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four boys decide to go see the body. Gordie, Vern, Chris, and Teddy encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, but they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.

Reviews:

  • Emir McLean
    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.
    Rating: 2.5

  • Rylan Garcia
    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.
    Rating: 4

  • Cecilia Friedman
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Justice Webb
    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Luna Wall
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.
