Negative Positive
Title: From someone who never read the original Stephen King Story
Review: This movie tries (unsuccessfully) to reproduce some of the best moments in Stand By Me, but the results are laughably atrocious. Still, I was all prepared to give it 2 stars, but then one of those "what were they thinking" moments happen. One of the characters picks up a gun, holds it like a phone, and says "Jonsey! I knew you would call!" ESP or not, that scene alone signaled the beginning of a mildly bad movie taking sharp turn into Crapsville. Most of the positive reviews found here are from people who have read the book, and can't help but bring that experience to their reviews. As a person who never read the book, and is reviewing the movie on it's own merits, I find it terrible.
Is the review positive or negative?
