Actors are Superb in this film BUT it is way too long and drawn out

Rating: 2/10 (19 September 2019)

First, I must say that the actors are superb in this film.
This film was way to long and drawn out and I saw many people in the theater start to play on their phones before it was over. The beginnng with the adult couple being beat up, was not revelant to the movie at all. Also, how Mike knew everyone's cell phones after not speaking with them for 27 years was a mistake. The drawn out scenes could have been shorten by several minutes. The orginal real focus of the movie/book is supposed to be friendship, and I feel the actors were great on making us believe this, but all the extras were not neccessary.
