THE CIDER HOUSE RULES (Released to Theaters USA 1999)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì  The Cider House Rules—well written—presents a tough look at life and life choices. It is a mature adult subject material handled fairly discreetly with some nudity scenes. The portrayal and presentation are great. Look for a story well put together. This film earns its watch.  Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images Storyline  An orphan boy, returned twice to the orphanage as an infant, becomes the protege of the orphanage doctor who trains him to be a medical doctor.  Additional Thanks  Thank you to Director Lasse Hallström for directing effort.

Maybe?  Yes. This is a Michael Caine and Tobey Maguire movie that is more than worth seeing. Be aware that some material content is tailored to the very mature adult audience.
