Of Mice and Men
In an exciting story about an adventure about achieving an entity. The story unfolds during the Depression. Two friends, George and Lynney, travel during the Depression to get a better life and escape the crisis. Both dream of a better life and paradise may be in the grip of their hands, but the reality may change. It is a journey that tells questions about power, weakness, interest and reality, which Steinbeck could explain during the writing of that exciting real story.

Classic-literature-adaptation demureness...but it's impeccably cast and mostly quite faithful. [Blu-ray]

Superb Steinbeck adaptation that gets at the meat of the tale.

Of Mice and Men is a mournful, distantly heard lament for the loss of American innocence.

Nothing like a couple of acting gods attacking one of the classics.

Happily, director/star/co-producer Gary Sinise has approached it not with the awe of an English professor, but with the practical eye of a craftsman: Here are solid characters, a taut and emotional story, a beginning, a middle and a wrenching end.

It's hard ... to believe Malkovich's shamble and gape, a simian variant on Dustin Hoffman's Rain Man.

I would not have thought I could believe the line about the rabbits one more time, but this movie made me do it, as Lennie asks about the farm they'll own one day, and George says, yes, it will be just as they've imagined it.

The great pleasure of this movie is in what performers Sinise and John Malkovich, Ray Walton and others do with it; what director Sinise does with it; and, perhaps most important, what screenwriter Horton Foote does with it.

Elegant adaptation of Steinbeck's classic novel.

Well-mounted and very traditional, Of Mice and Men honorably serves John Steinbeck's classic story of two Depression-era drifters without bringing anything new to it.

Fine, studied treatment by Gary Sinise and John Malkovich.
