details

John Irving's sixth and finest novel, "The Cider House Rules", is one of those resonant, inventive works of literature that persistently works against being reconfigured for the movies. Lasse Hallstrom is a fine director, and Irving has adapted his own novel, but their resulting collaboration is deeply flawed. It is neither the novel nor a satisfying alternative to the novel but rather bits and pieces imperfectly strung together.
