Review – Hearts in Atlantis

This starts going wrong with the title, taken from the name of the book in which the source story – “Low Men in Yellow Coats” – appears, despite the fact that it doesn’t make much sense when tied to this tale. That alone wouldn’t have sunk it, but then the production aims for Stand by Me and falls short. Stephen King’s story does a passable job of blending horror and nostalgia, but the movie version doesn’t have the screen time to do both so it ends up doing neither effectively. Mildly amusing
