Description:
Honored with two Academy Awards(R) -- Best Supporting Actor, Michael Caine, and Best Adapted Screenplay, John Irving -- THE CIDER HOUSE RULES tells a compelling and heartwarming story about how far a young man must travel to find the place where he truly belongs! Homer Wells (Tobey Macguire -- PLEASANTVILLE, THE ICE STORM, WONDER BOYS) has lived nearly his entire life within the walls of St. Cloud's Orphanage in rural Maine. Though groomed by its proprietor, Dr. Larch (Caine), to be his successor, Homer nonetheless feels the need to strike out on his own and experience the world outside. Then, while working at an apple orchard, Homer falls for the beautiful Candy (Charlize Theron -- REINDEER GAMES, THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE) and learns some powerfully indelible lessons about life, love, and home! Based on John Irving's best-selling American classic and featuring a sensational all-star cast including Delroy Lindo and newcomer Erykah Badu, this entertaining motion picture earned raves from critics and moviegoers everywhere!
Amazon.com essential video:
In adapting his own novel The Cider House Rules for the screen, John Irving sacrificed at least some of the depth and detail that made his humanitarian themes resonate, while the film--directed with Scandinavian sobriety by Lasse Hallström--is often vague about the complex issues (abortion, incest, responsibility) that lie at its core. Allowing for this ambiguity (which is arguably intentional), the film retains much of what made Irving's novel so admired, and like Hallström's earlier feature What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, it's blessed with a generous, forgiving spirit toward the mistakes, foibles, and desires of its many engaging characters.
Central to the story (set during World War II) is Homer (Tobey Maguire), a young man raised in a Maine orphanage, where the ether-sniffing Dr. Larch (Michael Caine) rules with benevolent grace while performing safe but illegal abortions. To expand his horizons, Homer follows a young couple (Charlize Theron, Paul Rudd) to do fieldwork on an apple farm, where his innocent eyes are opened to the good and evil of the world--and to the realization that not all rules are steadfast in all situations. By the time Homer returns to the orphanage, The Cider House Rules--which features one of Caine's finest performances--is memorable more for its many charming and insightful moments than for any lasting dramatic impact. Is Homer fated to come full circle in his kindhearted journey? It's left to the viewer to decide. --Jeff Shannon

That was one of the worst movies I ever saw. I glad I did not pay for it. It seemed like it went through all kinds of justifications to say that it is okay to tell somone a lie. Repeatedly someone was lied to and they did not abject. Every was very calm in the movie It was like they were on come calming drug. They told all the kids that one kid was adpoted but he actually died. They were many other deceptions in the book. The had a definite slant against oranized religion. How could he perform ...

The story line on this film isn't funny or have necessarily a happy ending...or not that much. But it does touch your heart with a message about finding your own life, goals even if that means leaving everything that has been your whole life with nothing but a bit of clothes and food for the road.
It's raw, harsh and even tough to swollow, but nevertheless, a great film with a HUGE cast (left aside that Charlize Theron is the most beautiful woman in the world, and is half naked here) performing ... Read More

I just felt this movie was one of the best I'd seen in the past ten years.
It dealt with a very controversial subject long before it was politically correct to discuss it. I think the actors chosen were excellent.
I'd watched it through Netflix but I still wanted my own copy.

Homer Wells (Maguire) was born and raised in a New England orphanage under the care and tutelage of Dr. Wilber Larch (Caine), who came to the orphanage to be a hero.
Homer was considered one of the 'unadoptables'. The first couple who took him was disapointed because he didn't cry (orphan babies don't cry). The second couple made Homer cry by abusing him.
Homer became Dr. Larch's apprentice, tending the sick children, delivering women of babies they're surrendering, but Homer drew ... Read More

This is an excellent movie which highlights Michael Cane, Toby Mcguire, Charlize Theron, Delroy Lindo and Erykah Badu's acting skills. The cast is multicultured, colorful and seasoned. It highlights the question of abortion and adoption and what is missing in the lives of orphans: LOVE. I read the novel and bought the movie. All the book can't be in the movie, but the director did a great job of merging 2 minor characters to keep the main story flowing along. This move is one that you will add to your collection. ...
