We all saw Stand by Me, and thought it was a great movie.
This movie is kind of like that. It's about 4 very different friends: an aspiring writer, a very smart boy with an abusive father, a drug addicted musician, and an explosive cannon. These boys grew up togther and stayed best friends until the end of college.
It is very touching and the writing is superb. The movie was very well directed, acted and written by Andrew Bowen who made a very dramatic change from his comedy on MADtv to this powerhouse drama.
Though the main characters are very good, i must say that my favorite part of the film was in the first few moments of the film when it shows the boys as 6th graders. The three friends were brilliantly acted out, but the star of this scene was the child who played "Jocko" as a child. This kid should be nominated for an oscar, he just blew the whole theatre away. He should be cast in more films, but for now i guess hes not in anything...too bad
anyway, this was an excellent movie with excellent writing, and excellent casting. Andrew: MAKE MORE FILMS
my rating: **** (out of 5)
