Honored with two Academy Awards -- Best Supporting Actor Michael Caine and Best Adapted Screenplay, John Irving -- The Cider House Rules tells a compelling and heartwarming story about how far a young man must travel to find the place where he truly belongs! Homer Wells (Tobey Maguire -- Pleasantville, The Ice Storm, Wonder Boys) has lived nearly his entire life within the walls of St. Cloud's Orphanage in rural Maine. Though groomed by its proprietor, Dr. Larch (Caine), to be his successor, Homer nonetheless feels the need to strike out on his own and experience the world outside. Then, while working at an apple orchard, Homer falls for the beautiful Candy (Charlize Theron - Reindeer Games, The Devil's Advocate) and learns some powerfully indelible lessons about life, love and home! Based on John Irving's best-selling American classic and featuring a sensational all-star cast including Delroy Lindo and newcomer Erykah Badu, this entertaining motion picture earned raves from critics and moviegoers everywhere!

Those Princes of Maine, Those Kings of New England... - 4.5 out of 5 (8/16/2000)
THE CIDER HOUSE RULES won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Michael Caine, and a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for writer John Irving. After watching it, you'll probably wonder why it didn't bring home the Best Picture Oscar as well. It is a powerful movie, full of emotion and great performances, especially by the super-talented Caine, and young Tobey Maguire who is building quite the resume for himself as one of the most promising young actors out there (he was fantastic in both PLEASANTVILLE
