Wrong! This is not an Australian 'Stand by me'. (That's just marketing hype). True, it's a good movie, but it's not as well acted. One of the kids in this one sounds like they're reading their lines. and I found that annoyingly distracting. If you want to see good child actors, watch 'Super Eight', and Stephen King's 'It' too ---- and then compare the three.

| Summary | "a coming of age story about Charlie Bucktin, a bookish boy of 14. On the night that Jasper Jones, the town's mixed race outcast shows him the dead body of young Laura Wishart, Charlie's life is changed forever. Entrusted with this secret and believing Jasper to be innocent, Charlie embarks on a dangerous journey to find the true killer. Set over the scorching summer holidays of 1969, Charlie defeats the local racists, faces the breakup of his parents and falls head over heels in love as he discovers what it means to be truly courageous."--www.imdb.com. |
