Review of Stand by Me (1986) by Michael C — 15 Jan 2012
'Stand by Me' is very reminiscent of what a kid goes through in life and is one of the best from Rob Reiner. Featuring four up and coming great teen stars(River Phoenix, Will Wheaton, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O'Connel) as kids taking a life changing adventure of self-discovery and realizing loss.
We're able to understand the journey in each of the kids perspectives. Chris is looking to get away from his bad reputation, Gordie wants to escape the inevitable truth about his brother's death and neglect from his family, Teddy is trying to live in his father's shoes and make him proud, and Vern is just trying to live his life to the fullest without any guilt or remorse.
Great movie with a powerful message, 'Stand by Me' will stand the test of time for decades to come.
