Homer Wells was a child without parents. Larch was a man without children. Theirs was an extraordinary bond. At the orphanage, Larch taught Homer everything about being a doctor, but nothing about right and wrong. All Homer really wanted was the one thing Larch could not give him: rules to live by. So he had to look elsewhere. When a couple invited him to work on their Maine farm, he made the toughest decision of his life: to leave the only family he's ever known. Now he's out on his own, in over his head, and caught in a love triangle. And he's starting to realize it's time he lived by his own rules.

 

 "A truly great film. Michael Caine is absolutely brilliant. Tobey Maguire and Charlize Theron are great."
--Larry King, USA TODAY

"The best film ever made from a John Irving novel. Charlize Theron is wonderful and Delroy Lindo is fiercely good."
--Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

"A rich and rapturous film. Terrific performances from Michael Caine and Tobey Maguire. I can recommend THE CIDER HOUSE RULES without reservation."
--Rex Reed, THE NEW YORK OBSERVER
