Of Mice and Men

Review by Kristina, from North Carolina, on 13-Apr-2010

Of Mice and Men was entertaining but yet suspenseful and it makes you want to know whats going to happen next.

George(Gary Sinise) and the mentally-challenged Lenny (John Malkouich) travel together from a long distance away to a new job on a California farm because Lenny is always getting into trouble. They talked to the boss and George lied and told him that Lenny got kicked in the head by a horse when he was little. The boys met Candy, Slim, and Curly but George knew that Curley would cause problems with Lenny because Curly does not like tall people. Later on George and Lenny met Curly's wife and Lenny thought she was pretty, but George knew she was a flirt and he didn't want any trouble between Curly and his wife.

The theme of this story is no matter what trouble Lenny caused George was always there to protect him. True friends always have each others' back.

The acting in this movie was beyond good because the way Lenny acted it seemed like he really had a mental disability. Gary Sinese played George well, but i didn't like his character because he seemed like he didn't care what happened and he got angry a lot. Curly's wife(Sherilyn Fenn) was good in this film because she acted like the big flirt and she kind of seemed real to me.

This is a 10 star movie, but if i could give it more i would. Everything in the film looked real and seemed real.
