Based on John Steinbeck's 1937 classic tale, this drama tells the story of friends George (Gary Sinise, who also directed) and dim-witted gentle giant Lennie (John Malkovich), who wander the country during the Depression. They find work on a California farm and get closer to realizing their dream of settling down, but it all goes tragically wrong when the boss's wife (Sherilyn Fenn) makes advances.
I am in a Steinbeck mood. I also get a real bang out of going over all of the other movies all of the character actors in this movie have been in. Seriously, its a wonder I have *any* friends!
