Stand By Me (Special Edition) Reviews

This movie is about innocence, friendship and adventure. Teamed with a witty script and an extremely talented cast, I was utterly blown away upon viewing it. Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell and the extremely talented, River Phoenix, who in his young career showed the promise of a Clift, Dean or Brando. This film made him and made audiences take a closer look at young actors. These four 12-year-olds are friends who take a journey to see a dead body back in the 50's, with funny-man Richard Dreyfuss as the narrator, this movie is definitely one to rent. I have never enjoyed a movie as much as I have this one.

Great isn't enough of a word to describe this film.
While I'm not a fan of Stephen King, this certainly deserved a chance, especially considering this is _not_ one of his gory stories. (I really don't care for the horror genre.) I remember watching this when I was a kid, and today I still love it. I can't imagine any other actors playing those roles, and they seem to get better every time I watch this! The movie is just brilliant, well-directed, and unforgettable. The soundtrack is awesome.
