4 stars (Very Good) Four young friends set out on an adventure - to find the missing body of a local teenager. Heartfelt tale of boyhood friends and growing up, and now a nostalgic trip down memory lane. ~GenXGirl

4 stars (Very Good) One of my favourite family films, this is a real 80s classic about friendship and growing up. Funny, sweet, touching, and thoroughly memorable. ~Tom H

4 stars (Very Good) An absorbing, touching examination of the loss of innocence. Despite occasionally drifting towards the sappy, Stand by Me undeniably deserves its place in the heart of a generation. ~Anon

3 stars (Good Enough) The screenplay is a time capsule. It is enhanced by the photography and the soundtrack. ~Tubbs
