Rob Reiner’s 1986 classic adaptation of Stephen King’s short story about four young boys on the edge of their teens who go search of a missing friend’s body one summer day. in bringing grown up issues to the forefront finds these four kids Daisy , Dina , Mari , and Lola romping on a hike through the woods when they come upon a grown very dead man flat on his face.
Ponsoldt isn’t afraid to add otherworldly mystical actions along the way because after all kids today weaned on. Live action kids movies dealing with lofty ideas are in such short supply that you can cut some of the tonal inconsistencies here a bit of slack. It becomes fun as they get deeper into the night following intriguing trails toward uncovering the identity of the man, and the life he led.
Meanwhile all these girls have mothers who are worried about them and where they might be. It doesn’t make themworried that they can’t all get together, drink some wine, and talk about what they have missed in their own lives. This aspect of the story runs on a parallel track with Lake Bell playing a cop no less named Laura, expert Trump mimic Sarah Cooper as Karna, Ashley Madekwe as Joy, and Megan Mullally still getting laughs as Stacie.
The young cast shines, my favorite being the bright light Mari played with great naturalism by Redfield. Barnett gets the bigger emotional moments and proves herself very capable. Ponsoldt, whose past films like has always shown a smart indie sensibility and humanist touch lending the same weight to a very different kind of film and largely succeeding in just getting it made in the first place.
