Stand by this film!

Here is the definitive coming-of-age classic! 'Stand by Me' is so much more than a friendship story. It covers the ranging emotions of death in general. It tastefully examines self-image issues. And it shines a spotlight on the power of taking risk. I really liked the chemistry between River Pheonix and Will Wheaton. They fed off eachother's energy brilliantly. Rob Reiner's direction is sharp and memorable. If you appreciate Stephen King, and you enjoy stories of 'troubled innocence', SEE 'Stand by Me'! A-
