Stand by Me

CriticsCritics: 83
AudienceAudience: 8.2

Four boys from a small rural town set off to find the body of a missing peer, expecting a simple adventure. Along the way, encounters with danger, older youths, and personal struggles test their courage while deepening their understanding of friendship and growing up.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy heartfelt coming-of-age stories, nostalgic adventures, and emotionally honest friendships; Not for you if you want fast-paced action or a consistently light, cheerful tone.
