Stand By Me is a very enjoyable movie based on a good short story by Stephen King titled The Body, which, for once, was adapted quite well.
The plot follows four young kids who embark on a foot-trip to find the maimed body of a boy their age who’s believed to be dead after suddenly disappearing. The trip will turn out to be more challenging than they had expected, both physically and mentally.
This is a heartwarming story about friendship and what it takes to stand by each other when it’s not the easy or simple thing to do. The plot is peppered with tales and adventures that will keep the audience glued to the screen to the very end.
The four young actors, Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell, and the late River Phoenix are all very good, while Kiefer Sutherland plays the bad guy with the same tough attitude and scorned grin he showed on several seasons of 24.
A very good movie that should please all viewers but don’t be fooled by the young cast. This is not something you want to watch with your little ones.
Grade: 7
