djfrost-46786 Would love to give this movie an 8, but u have Chunk twin from Goonies. Not only that you have the chicken scene from Footloose. All movies came out before. Yes hats off Sandlot rips this movie off. Still I acted out alot of scenes as a kid. This movie rips classic movies off!!!!
MichaelMRamey Stephen King is synonym with horror stories and rightfully so, but two of my favourite stories by him don't have anything to do with that genre. The first of course being Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption and the second being Stand By Me. He as the ability to not only tell great stories, but to create such tremendous characters and that what this film is; a heavily character driven movie with child actors who can act.I've never felt such a strong connection to any characters before than this group of friends. Either you were one of those four kids or you knew someone who was one of those four kids. The dialogue is top notch and the scene that really hit me hardest was right at the end when it is discussed that they went to high school and none of these really spoke to each other again. It rings true that at one point you had these friends as a child and sometimes you just drift apart. They played such important roles in your growth only to be end up being distant memories. This film is the epitome of a story about growing up, there is none better in my opinion.
coda_william One of the few few films I can watch over and over. great acting. great sound track, but was does it, is the perfect pacing of the scenes. the suspense, coupled with the relaxation of a hot summer day
joshuabush-28688 I love this movie with all my heart, I gives you this warm welcoming feeling of childhood seeping through you... And it reminds you how you made the same jokes and kind of the same friends while growing up. I love the atmosphere, the writing, cinematography, acting and music! I also think this movie works because I am a HUGE fan of Stephen king. I do not think this movie should be rated R though...
