7/10. A TV adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel. George and Lenny travel through the Depression-era west working at odd jobs, hoping to make enough money to buy their own farm. George must always watch over his mentally retarded friend, and keep him out of danger, both to himself and to others. After they take a new job at a ranch, Lenny gets into far more trouble than George can talk his way out of, leaving George to decide whether to help him, or leave him to his fate.
This is one of the few books that I must say follows the book almost completely. You can grab the book and literally follow it.
I looked at the cast list, and I saw the convict Robert Blake. He looked pretty good as George. I kind of actually pictured him like that as I was reading the book. Randy Quaid did a good job as Lenny. Mitch Ryan seemed a little old for Slim's character. I really wasn't expecting that.
All in all, this was a pretty good movie, but I doubt you'll find it at blockbuster as this is a tv movie. Also check out my book review of Of Mice and Men
