About this product

Product Information

THE CIDER HOUSE RULES, an expertly crafted and intelligent adapation of John Irving's novel, explores themes of disappointment, ideas of moral ambiguity, and, indeed, lessons about life itself, woven into a dramatic story that is neither slow nor sentimental. Tobey Maguire is the immensely likable Homer Wells, a lifelong resident of a Maine orphanage who comes of age during WWII under the auspices of its director, Dr. Wilbur Larch (Michael Caine). Larch is pragmatic, progressive, highly intelligent, and loathe to let Homer go out into the world. He sees him as a son, and the only one whose medical training allows for him to take over when he retires from his job as physician, obstetrician, and illegal abortionist. When ingenue Candy (Charlize Theron) and air force adventurer Wally (Paul Rudd), come to Larch for help with an abortion, Homer befriends the couple and, against Larch's wishes, sets off with them to see the world, or at least the rest of Maine. Working at an apple orchard owned by Wally's mother (Kate Nelligan), Homer lives and works with a group of African-American migrant workers, among them the morally ambiguous Mr. Rose Delroy Lindo and his beloved daughter Rose Rose (Erykah Badu in a stunning debut). When Wally goes off to war, and Rose Rose gets into a complex and frightening situation, Homer is faced with serious choices and dilemmas that can only be solved by the wisdom he has learned from Larch. A classic, old-fashioned-style American film that deals directly with sensitive and taboo issues, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES is a beautifully acted, carefully paced story full of substance.

    The middle of this film, when Homer works at the apple farm, should be deleated

    The orphanage is much more believable than the silly sex scenes, which would have been really condemned by the owner of the apple farm. Also, before the 1960's, Blacks led better moral lives than the Whites did.

    Cider House Suggestions

    This is a complicated tale with 2 focal points, an orphanage and a "cider house", residence for migrant apple pickers. Michael Caine is an amoral doctor at the orphanage. He does abortions (1940's), buries dead children on the grounds and trains his successor Toby McGuire, an older orphan, by apprenticeship. This character leaves for awhile and apprentices again as an apple picker. The title refers to the rules of the residence, which the residents cannot read, and are not following. McGuire has an affair with Charlize Theron, who had obtained an abortion from Caine. He disapproves of Caine's abortions, but finds himself doing the same at the cider house. I suppose he discovers that the rules are too difficult to be followed in the real world. McGuire returns to the orphanage and succeeds ...

    A must see, heart felt coming of age story.

    The story is heart felt and engaging from begining to end with the character Homer Wells played bt Toby Mcguire. He makes the story extra special and the children in the movie are sweet kids and act very well. Some of the topics could have been left out not acceptable behavier and sexual matters but the movie is still a must see for those who look at the warmth and love that is felt. It has a wonderful story and I give Toby McGuire a 5-star rating for his acting. Not recommended for young audiences. It' also a coming of age movie. Michael Cain supporting actor. Some wonderful cast in movie.

    Very good drama from someone who does not like dramas.

    I read the book first and I loved the book. I am a fantasy fan all day and I hardly ever come across a book about real life that I love. Fantasy is about good vs evil. John Irving is today version of the moralist Charles Dickens.
