This story reminds me of Stand By Me-but with a different, new, fresh style. The casting was done really well. Kieran Culkin is a better actor than his brother without a doubt. Emile Hirsch is a newcomer to me and is not bad an actor himself. The comic scenes were quite...entertaining to some extent. But because of Culkin's character in the movie, the ending was a huge surprise. This movie gets 7 out of 10.
