"Stand by Me" follows 4 friends who go on an exciting journey to find a dead body. Based off the Stephen King novel "the Dead Body", "Stand by Me" brings the written story of these hilarious boys adventure in the 60s to life. The film is filled with fun classic boy humor that follows them along what is more of a serious journey. I am a little biased because I am a huge fan of one of the actors River Phoenix who plays Chris Chambers,but I think if you are feeling like thoughtful film about friendship then you will enjoy this one.
