In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

'Of Mice and Men' is about two guys who had just changed the ranch they worked at because Lennie caused trouble. It's genre is period drama. The main character are Lennie, the big baby, who is played by John Malkovich and George, the small guy, who is played by Gary Sinise. In my opinion the film is successful, because the act was very well done.I think the character that did the best was Lenie, because acting stupid is not an easy thing. The best part of the movie is when Lennie crushes Curley's hand because at first Lennie had to act frightened, what he did well, and then he had to act furious, in which he did again good job. The film starts and ends different from the novel. One particularly successful aspect of the film is that there weren't almost any special effects. The camera was always positioned on the right angle.I think the worst part from the movie was when Curley's wife came at the field where the boys were working and began asking questions about her husbands' hand (Curley). I think the portrayal of Curley's wife was incorrect because in the movie she is not as bad described as in the book. They could have made her look worse like in the book.My overall opinion is that the film is quite good, although there were some parts that were not good. I think the movie can be watched from any age groups. I would give the film 4 stars out of 5.

This film is about two ranchers called George and Lennie, who had to change their work again and again because of the crazy problems Lennie gets in. This is a period drama film. The main characters in this film are Lennie Small, played by John Malkovich and George Milton, played by Gary Sinise. There are other important characters, such as Candy (Ray Waltson) or Curley (Casey Siemaszko). I think this film is really successful, as it represents really well most of the scenes from and the book, although the characters wasn't the same as it was described in the book. In the film, John Malkovich was ideal for the role of Lennie Small. This character in particular stood out because he acted the same as the book. In the book this character was just like a baby, while in the film it represented identically. I the film we can see Lennie as a strong man but acting as a child of 7-8 years old. The character George Milton played by Gary Sinise had an excellent throughout too because he was just the same as in the book, acting as Lennie's father. I think the best part in the middle of the film, where we can see that George and Lennie has settled in the ranch and Lennie was having fun with his new puppy. The film was different to the novel, as it didn't have the same beginning and final as the book. In the book it began when George and Lennie was in their way to their new ranch and it ended when Candy called George to go for a drink after killing Lennie, and in the film it began when Lennie got into trouble in the last ranch and finished when George killed Lennie and left the ranch. The film was really entertaining, as the music effects were set very good. The worse part of the film was when kill Lennie, because I don't think killing Lennie was the best idea. Also I think Curley's wife wasn't acting as well, because in the book she an unkind woman. I think they should also have changed a bit the final and not just finished with George leaving the ranch. In conclusion the film is really good and interesting. I think everyone who are learning American history in the 20th century or interested in it, they should watch this film, but also I recommend this film to everyone, as it is excellent. I would give the film 5 stars out of 5!

This movie is OK but its very different from the book in many ways. SPOILERS AHEAD: When Curleys wife dies in the book he is more sad than angry.Also at the end of the book when George is telling Lennie about there soon to be home it is more stretched out. I'm not saying this ruined the movie, it's just a lot more noticeable. I give this movie a 6.5 out of 10 due to it having a lack of emotion and some of the actors weren't the best choices. Sorry for people that disagree with me but I think they could have done a lot better with this movie. I give the book on the other hand 9 out of 10 because I get into the book a lot more than I do watching the movie. I recommend the book over the movie. Thank you for reading my review and I hope it helped you decide whether to watch this. Have fun watching film go-ers.

I thought the movie was generally the same as the book, and I thought both were great. The casting was pretty good. All of the characters, except for Lennie, were exactly as I pictured them while reading the novel. From the book, I thought Lennie to be much younger than he was in the movie. I liked the book better than the movie mainly due to the end. In the novel, it seemed to me that George killed Lennie after they talked about the house for a little longer, whereas in the movie, the murder of Lennie seemed to be much more abrupt. Although certain parts of the movie didn't match up with the book, I still thought that it deserved an 8/10 since most of the events did match up. I also felt that the movie went into deeper detail than the book did in some of the scenes.
