Sadly Over-hyped
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Yes, I think pre teenagers should see this movie. It is rated R because there's about a dozen F words and more cursing but it is about 12 year old boys! I have seen this over a dozen times(it was my favorite movie for a couple years)and I love it each time! I first saw this when I was 15 because I sheltered but any preteener alive should see it!It's funny, sad, and touching all at once. If you love this movie, see some other of the director's movies, like The Princess Bride, Misery, A Few Good Men, When Harry Met Sally, etc.
Movie Review: "Stand By Me" (1986)A fine little screen gem delivered as Academy-Award nominated adaptation from a Stephen King novella as director Rob Reiner navigates calmly and precise with his youngster Hollywood cast, led by late acting talent River Phoenix (1970-1993) and his faithfull fellows Will Wheaton, Corey Feldman coming along on a trip "Into the wild" of summer 1959 within the woodlands of Castlerock, Oregon when nemesis character portrayed by Kiefer Sutherland and his street thugs friends are in pursuit of finding a dead friend's corpse, which then eventually happens at well-location-scouted riverside as teenage confrontations down to the knife thickens, putting my mind into reminiscene of last year's "It: Part I", where director Andres Muschietti had been able to create the some kind of morbid, nostalgic; summer heat atmosphere within scenes of encircling as struggling teenagers in search of life's answers, making it as "Stand by Me" a major success to audience attendance in terms of revenue margins as here Columbia Pictures can rebound up to seven times the production budget in releasing U.S. movie summer of 1986.

So much has been said already, but this is a movie that not only stands the test of time, but grows with you as you age. I was the same age as the characters when this came out and I thought it was a cool story about running away with your friends. As an adult I realized it wasn't just about the death of a child named ray Brower, it was about the death of childhood and innocence. Just like the train, you can dodge it and try to escape it for a while, but eventually, time and age will hit you like a train and knock you out of your keds. As an adult with kids, I now watch it and it hurts thinking about my own middle schoolers growing up. But the thing I never thought much about was Gordie's parents. They mourn Denny so much that they fail to recognize the great kid they still have. As much as I hate to see them grow away from me, I know I need to cherish these moments and be happy. I owe it to myself and then.
Stand by Me is one of the most iconic movies of all time and it has earned that title because it really is one great movie with a lot to offer to movies about growing up and i would say that this movie is more than the growing up story it's drama movies at it's finest. the amazing cast is Wil Wheaton,River Phoenix, Corey Feldman,Jerry O'Connell,Kiefer Sutherland,Casey Siemaszko,Gary Riley,Bradley Gregg,Jason Oliver. The kids of this movie are amazing they give such a amazing performance for both the kids and the teenagers and they are so real and give a wonderful view into the life of 12 year old boys. stand by me has a story of a group of boys who are looking for a young boys body and they go on a epic quest of adventure and we follow there journey from their small town to locate the body. i have to say that this movie is so iconic that it doesn't need introducing and the story is so iconic and the original is based on a story by Steven King and honestly I haven't read the book but i would think that it would stay close to the source material and for me this is such a good movie and i would watch it again and would suggest it to any one who likes a adventure movie.
