edgy is good.
edgy is good. the world is edgy. I'd rather my daughter watch this than the disney princess crap. If your children are going to be shocked by the f-word maybe you should keep them sheltered for as long as you can. talk to your kids.

Great movie, but not-so-great characters
This is a really good movie, but people may question the kids behaivor. They smoke excessively and drink. They also swear and talk about sex. However, this is rather realistic, because you hear things like these boys say in any give hallway in any middle school. Even though the boys aren't exactly good role models, they pull together to help each other when they need it.

The only reason it's Rated R is for the swearing. Young 12 year old children smoke cigarettes and the sight of a dead body might scare little children, but it's a very tame movie.

A great film for mature teenagers only
Sexual Content (Pause): Sexual innuendo. The f-word is used sexually.
Violence (Pause): References to violent acts. A dead body is seen.
Language (Off): Very strong.
Social Behavior (Pause): The boys are close friends, but they are by no means good role models. Some crude humor.
Commercialism (Pause): Some commercial references.
Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Off): Underage smoking and drinking.

Slow, Not For Kids
Stand By Me is full of heavy emotional issues (a boy's father wishes that he'd died instead of his brother), and some violence (a group sets out to find a dead boy). There is also swearing and bad social behaviour. The plot is a little slow, but older viewers will appreciate this.

OK
It's OK.
It makes me think of the friendship I have with my friends when I was 11 and before junior high school.
but,There is plenty of alcohol and cigarette sence.

Great story for those over 13 with a caution about language.
Heartwarming story of a group of boys learning about life as they journey to find the dead body. The premise is to find the body - but the real story is what happens to the boys along the way. Bad language is plentiful, but fits with the age of the boys and the time/place of the setting.

to watch *with* your kids
My 10 year old son says, "It was very good, but some moments are too intense. There were exciting parts, too"
I say: Some movies become "watchable" when you watch them together.

Look forward to watching it again when my son turns 13
This is a great film. It's a heavy, and not appropriate for the age group it depicts. A great film for kids thirteen and up
