Overview

After learning that a boy their age has been accidentally killed near their rural homes, four boys decide to go see the body. Gordie, Vern, Chris, and Teddy encounter a mean junk man and a marsh full of leeches, but they also learn more about one another and their very different home lives. Just a lark at first, the boys' adventure evolves into a defining event in their lives.

Ok everyone - this is a 80's kid about kids, but don't think it is like the others as it is a Stephen King adaptation. It isn't for kids - unless you want to traumatize them. Coming of age at a high price, what makes this a special one on that decade. A solid 8.2 out of 10.0 / A in my score.

There’s a line at the end of this that asks whether or not we’ll ever have better friends in our lives than we did at the age of twelve? Spouses notwithstanding, it’s probably quite a fair assertion as illustrated by these four lads. They are from different sides of the tracks, literally, in a small
