Review of Stand by Me (1986) by Adam W — 10 Mar 2012
Stand By Me centres on a group of young friends that go on a hunt looking for a missing boy. Stand By Me has been called one of the greatest coming of age stories ever, and you know what, I totally agree with that. This film is phenomenal, the acting from the four young boys is great, its a shame we donâ(TM)t see them in more films these days; we occasionally see Will Wheaton on screen in episodes of The Big Bang Theory but that is about it really. But the four main actors Wheaton, Phoenix, Feldman and Oâ(TM)Connell supply the perfect amount of wit, sensitivity and emotion throughout the film not making for a single dull moment.
Stand By Me is a classic and it is hard to find a reason why someone wouldnâ(TM)t love this film. It has become the film that we all use to remember the great actor River Phoenix and how astonishing an actor he was. It is a timeless film that will forever be known as the greatest coming of age story ever told.
