Summary: One of the Best Movies Ever Made
Review: "Stand By Me" is truly one of the classic movies of the Eighties generation. Though it takes place in the 1950s, it could easily be about any four friends of that age group, regardless of time period. In terms of lasting appeal and transcendence of time boundaries, "Stand By Me" could easily hold its own against such classics as "Casablanca," "The Godfather," "Citizen Kane," and other paradigms of the movie industry. I truly don't think that's overstatement. Every person I know, be they intellectual or layman, loves this movie. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Summary: My favourite movie
Review: This movie is definitely the best I've ever watched in my life: it's true, moving, simply beautiful. The actors are amazing, in spite of their young age (I especially want to underline River Phoenix's performance), and the story and everything are just great. I don't know much about movies or stuff, and I'm Italian, so it's even more difficult for me to express what "Stand by me" means to me, but believe me when I say that you absolutely have to watch it. You'll fall in love with it, forever.

Summary: Quite simply, one of the best films ever made.
Review: Until this film, movies based on Stephen King's work--and there were tons of 'em--were clunky at best; silly at worst. This film showed audiences who had never read Stephen King, what the rest of us already knew: the man can write! And, he writes about 'ordinary' life as well as--perhaps even better--than he writes his stock-in-trade fantasy horror.The film revolves around four amazing characters, played by four amazing young actors. It was soundly criticized for the harsh language used by these kids, but--even though I grew up a couple decades after the film's characters, it's the kind of language my friends and I used, to prove how 'grown-up', tough, and unshockable we were. I find the dialogue in this film dead-on--honest and sincere. Kids really do speak this way, primarily because such language DOES shock some adults to such an extent. One thing that needs mentioning, beyond the fact that this film is so amazing; Richard Dreyfuss plays the main character as an adult, and also narrates some of the action of the film. His performance is, while understated and brief, equally amazing. The final scene of the film (which I won't spoil) in which the ultimate fate of River Phoenix' character, Chris Chambers, is revealed, is heartwrenching--especially given the real-life fate of River Phoenix. If you're seeing this film for the first time, don't watch it with your wife. (You won't want to cry in front of her...) Keith Russell.

Summary: Meathead's "Stand By Me"... A Nostalgiac romp...
Review: STAND BY ME is a coming-of-age story. And it is an enjoyable hour and a half. But, unfortunately, the screenplay is so episodic that the 'coming-of-age' part is not gradual. It's instantaneous. Much of the dialogue is extremely clever and enrolling as the four boys discuss PEZ, Goofy and the groin attacking dog. But, the dialogue is also inappropriately vulgar, showing children of the eighties, not the fifties. The story is narrated by Richard Dreyfuss who only occasionally seems prepared. Some times it sounds like a 'cold read' and his whole appearance in the film smells like an afterthought. Not Reiner's best work nor his worst. The DVD, however has a great 36 minute documentary featuring many of the performers looking back 17 years to the production. That features a nice memorial to River Phoenix (who practically walks away with the film) who died several years after the film was made. The DVD also has another nostalgic commentary by Reiner.

Summary: My favorite movie
Review: Words cant fully describe this coming of age film. You will laugh and cry. Stand By Me is based on the Stephen King novella "The Body" and is about 4 boys who follow the railroad tracks to find the body of a missing boy. It starts out with the boys hoping to find popularity by being the heroes who finally found the missing boy. It then turns into so much more. All four boys struggle in life with not being accepted. They learn the value of their friendship, displayed by the fact that several time the boys break down and cry in each others arms. This movie will make you laugh as well. This movie is worth every penny I paid for it, and it deserves way more than 5 stars.

Summary: A CLASSIC!
Review: A smart, sensitive, versatile, fifties set tale which is partly based on the Steven King story, The Body. The film stars a creditable cast which includes Wil Wheaton, River Phoneix, Kiefer Sutherland and Corey Feldman. These superb actors merley compliment the rich dialogue which is astounding throughout resulting in a grittily realistic undertone. The story is of four friends who set out to find the corpse of a missing boy and predictably they find themselves plunged into adventures and there are many twists and surprises to the plot along the way. Rob Reiners debut feature as a director is a classic one at that and merley kick started his career. This film remains something of a total masterpiece.
