Mud (2012) with: Matthew McConaughey, Sam Shepard, Reese Witherspoon
It's kinda like a mashup of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn & Stand By Me.
The movie has kids, boats, fugitive, river, boys crossing a river, etc.
The movie plot flows fairly well, and easy to follow. It doesn't try to be more than it is. A nice coming
of age movie. The best thing, it's not to sappy of a movie.
You know the kind of movie where the characters have something bad happen, then you're expected to go boo hoo
.
This isn't that kind of movie.
Overall this movie is a ***1/2 of *****
IMHO
Stand By Me (1986) *****
Mud (2012) ***1/2
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1939) ***
