Stand by me was a very good flim and it was funny. the characters realy played their parts well. My favorite bit was when one of the boys tried to jump the trian. It had a good story line and the music at the end suited the flim!

Stand by me is really fun because the four boys always have a laugh together. The boys have a great bond with each other. My favourite bit was when the boy was trying to dodge the train. I thought the Barfarama was really disgusting but I thought it was good that Lardass got his revenge. The ending was really good but sad cos the boy Chris was stabbed in the throat.

This is a lovely film about friendship that could make anyone feel nostalgic, whether or not your own childhood was similar to this story. The ending is pretty sad though, but it was funny to see a couple of the actors when they were young.

I thought this film was very funny and a good film about friendship and growing up. My favourite part was at the beginning when we first saw all the boys together and when they were trying to cross the bridge.
Fascinating facts
To stay in character when not filming Keifer Sutherland continued to bully River Pheonix, Corey Feldman, Will Wheaton and Jerry O'Connell.
