The generically titled Standing Up registers as a mildly inspiring if familiar tale of adolescents standing up to bullying.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Overview
Based on one of the most beloved Young Adult novels of all time: Two kids are stripped naked and left together on an island in a lake - victims of a vicious summer camp prank; But rather than have to return to camp and face the humiliation, they decide to take off, on the run together. What follows is a three day odyssey of discovery and self-discovery.

A throwback to the no-nonsense kidpics common circa 1985.
Peter Debruge, Variety
Rotten
It's unclear who this blandly titled drama is aimed at--devoid as it is of humor or any real hazard and lacking the provocative undertones of its source material.
Annlee Ellingson, Los Angeles Times
