A drama directed by Lasse Hallstrom, starring Charlize Theron.
A doctor at an orphanage teaches one of the boys everything he knows. When the boy grows up, he leaves with an abortion patient and her boyfriend and ends up working at an apple farm. The boyfriend gets called away to war and the orphan becomes romantically involved with the ex-patient. The doctor wants the boy to take his place at the orphanage and even gos to the trouble of falsifying documents.
The style and production value of this film were great. I personally didn't like the plot or characters, but would say that they are not bad. My main issue with the plot is that the namesake rules of the cider house are only discussed briefly and are not a focal point. There was a lot of sentimentality, but it wasn't a "chick flick". I'm rating this adequate.
