Vacuumed free of darkened peril or any of the idiosyncratic pop of Wes Anderson&#8217;s &#8220;Moonrise Kingdom,&#8221; which charts a somewhat broadly similar story of two pre-teens on the lam, this slight but well intentioned effort seems a better fit for small screen viewing.<\/p>\n<p>Adapted for the screen by Caruso from Brock Cole&#8217;s young adult novel &#8220;The Goats,&#8221; &#8220;Standing Up&#8221; tells the story of 11-year-old Howie (Chandler Canterbury) and 12-year-old Grace (Annalise Basso), a pair of bespectacled North Carolina summer campers, heretofore strangers, who each find themselves the butt of a humiliating prank by their peers &#8212; stripped of their clothes and left overnight on an island. Instead of just waiting until morning and suffering the intended degradation, however, the pair set out on a wild, by-hook-and-crook journey. Along the way Howie and Grace come across more sympathetic kids from a different camp and repeatedly get a chance to flex their wit and ingenuity, as they slowly wind their way back to camp &#8212; figuring they&#8217;ll just time their arrival to a family day visit from Grace&#8217;s working mother, Meg (Radha Mitchell).<\/p>\n<p>More than a decade ago, television director Caruso made his film debut with &#8220;The Salton Sea,&#8221; a strikingly stylish noir thriller starring Val Kilmer and Vincent D&#8217;Onofrio. &#8220;Standing Up&#8221; feels like a return to those roots in a lot of ways. It&#8217;s rather beautifully shot, by cinematographer Alex Nepomniaschy, but otherwise feels small in almost every way. There are plenty of nominal kids&#8217; films (&#8220;Stand By Me,&#8221; for instance) that play on a straightforward dramatic level, but also connect more deeply because of the clarity and perceptiveness with which they connect to adolescent feelings and fear. &#8220;Standing Up&#8221; flirts with these emotions, but kind of mimics rather than channels them.<\/p>\n<p>The lead performances are good, in a fairly unshowy fashion; it certainly helps in one&#8217;s surrender to the material that Canterbury and Basso are neither overly familiar faces nor very mannered in their deliveries. As Grace&#8217;s mother, meanwhile, Mitchell is called up to do little except fret and express pro forma outrage at the kids-will-be-kids idiocy of the lead camp counselor; Kilmer, though, is put to wonderfully effective use in a minor role. For aficionados of the novel or younger kids who could use a booster shot of self-esteem on the bullying front, &#8220;Standing Up&#8221; is a worthwhile entry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> In addition to its theatrical engagements, including in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Playhouse 7, &#8220;Standing Up&#8221; comes to DVD soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical:
