The movie was extremely popular with preteens and teens when it first came out. Very surprising that in the snobby, arrogant, clueless, materialistic Reagan 80's this was popular. I don't recall adults getting anything out of it, even though the movie was set at a time that the boys would be approaching their 40's in 1986.

It's a good story, well told.
It has the capacity to be liked by people of all ages.
After all, kids often like movies featuring adults, don't they?
Never defend crap with 'It's just a movie'

I don't understand the question. You're asking if Will Wheaton as an adult will like this movie? I'm sure he does. He made a lot of money with the movie and I supposed it furthered his career. I don't see why he would hate this movie. If he does, this is his opinion and he has every right to his opinion

i always liked the movie when i was a kid. when i re-watched it as an adult it became my favorite movie of all time.
kids will enjoy it for the story's premise, but adults will enjoy it for the story's meaning

Yes absolutely. Of course thats not a guarantee.
But Yes I think adults will enjoy this because although the film is mainly about four childhood friends at that age of true bonding its perspective is told through an adult looking back and reminiscing about those old days that will never come again.
Personally I am surprised this film doesn't have a better overall user rating on here.
As far as I am concerned its a classic. -

I think my dad was bored when he took me to see it. He was older, though. He probably would've enjoyed it more if he'd been a Baby Boomer. It will always be one of my favorites, though, no matter how old I get.

This was my favorite movie as a kid, and i'm 40 now, and i still think its a nearly flawless film.
But even back in '86, i remember my dad liking it for the sole reason that he could relate to the depictions. My dad was actually probably 20 years older than the generation of kids of the 1960's, but still, he could more relate to that that bygone era than relate to the modern day of hair metal bands and gangster rap.
Its one of those exceptions to the rule, where the film about kids wasn't necessarily made FOR kids. It was an equally relatable to adults as it was to kids, methinks.. I mean. Stephen King wrote it, as a adult. Rob Reinder directed it as an adult They were channeling stuff that meant something to them personally. not simply just pandering to teenie-bopper ticket-goers.
