Bought this as my son needed it for his school work. Very moving and thought provoking. Excellent service by Amazon as usual.

Malkovich is once again mesmerising as the tragic but memorable Lennie, a simple minded man born into a cruel world. Senise plays his inseparable buddy and guardian, George, and you feel for him as he struggles hard to cope with looking after the difficult Lennie, mainly because the harsh world doesn't have the time or patience to understand such a man whose behavior can be a little worrying and eccentric. The stretched out wheat fields make a great movie landscape and the mood of the era is quite well defined, it seems. Then you come to the humanity of the famous story, the painful humanity that will not leave you, just as the pain will not leave George, who is forced into making an unenviable decision by circumstances you sort of sense coming. A good film version which succeeds in showing much of the flavour of the Steinbeck classic, if perhaps not quite as much power with its message, although it does try. Novels can usually get across statements about the world we live in with much more effect than films, however. It is a good effort though and is a rewarding, if inevitably sad film to watch.

Bought this for my daughter's GCSE English Literature exam studies, have heard of Of Mice and Men before but didn't know the plot etc. Put the film on for my daughter and I didn't expect to like it myself but would watch it for her benefit. HOWEVER! absolutely enthralled right from the start!! Fabulous story of friendship and loyalty. heartbreaking in places and funny in others. Twist at the end but definately would watch it again. Don't be put off thinking this is just for students, it is for anyone over 15 years.

I'd heard about this film from a work colleague and thought it should be worth a gamble. I lost? Malkovich(you either love him or nothing him) seemed type cast but the pace although deliberately slow never engaged me at all. There was all the elements there yet it failed to do itself justice. Good directors are hard to come by and perhaps miscasting may have been the stumbling block. I did however love the scenery!

Well, I liked it! It touched my heart. The story of two drifters who are complete opposites in character being inseperable as one by their strong and loving friendship. Malkovich and Sinise are perfectly cast as Lenny and George with fine support from the rest of the players. A great compliment to Steinbeck`s famous book. A must buy at a bargain price!
Fans of Steinbeck check out "East of Eden" and "Grapes of Wrath". Both brilliant buys.
