The Liars Club is a group of football buddies, so named because of their tendency to exaggerate their accomplishments. This sort of harmless fun comes to an end when one of the club members brutally assaults a young girl. Now the friends close ranks and become liars for real. The outlook continues to darken when the boys become involved in murder. The cast of the R-rated Liar's Club includes Soleil Moon Frye, once the adolescent star of TV's Punky Brewster, and Wil Wheaton, of Star Trek: The Next Generation fame. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.

Based on the Stephen King short story {-The Body}, Rob Reiner's easygoing nostalgia piece is set in Castle Rock, OR, over Labor Day weekend, 1959. A quartet of boys, inseparable friends all, set out in search of a dead body that one of the boys overhears his brother talking about. The foursome consists of intellectual Gordie (Wil Wheaton), born leader Chris (River Phoenix), emotionally disturbed Teddy (Corey Feldman), and chubby hanger-on Vern (Jerry O'Connell). The boys' adventures en route to the elusive body are colored by the personal pressures brought to bear on all of them by the adult world. Richard Dreyfuss, playing the grown-up Gordie, narrates the film, while Kiefer Sutherland dominates every scene he's in as a brutish high-school bully. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.
