It can be almost old-movie sentimental (while mixing in items like abortion abor-tion and incest), telling the tale of a rootless hero and bis search for destiny, and duty, in the world. The film, set in the wsr years of the 194, focuses on an orphanage in St. Cloud's, Maine, which is n far cry from those cruel foundling homes of movies f ast, where Shirley Temple or i'l Orphan Annie were held captive. , ' 1 ' ' Here, the benevolent Dr. Larch (Michael Caine. winning his second Oscar) delivers babies, entertains his orphans with Dickens or perennial screenings of "King Kong (the only movie they have got), and tucks his boys in every night with "Goodnight, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England." Larch's favorite is Homer Wells (Tobey Maguire) a stubbornly stub-bornly unadoptable kid who has been brought up as the doctor's Mt.

He hopes that the Park City program pro-gram will ultimately serve as a model for other resort communities, communi-ties, "There's not a whole lot I can talk about," .'aid O'Connor of the confidential situations with which he has assisted.

Homer loves and respects his mentor except for the fact that Larch is not just willing to deliver babies. He will abort them also, if that the desire of the desperate mother. It's Homer's task to carry the ' fetus, to a bucket, out to the incinerator. Most of all. Homer wants to see the outside world, and seizes his chance when he meets up with an Air Force officer, Willy (Paul Rudd) and Candy, his girlfriend girl-friend (Charuze Theron) a genuinely loving couple who, nevertheless, need Larch's help with an unwanted pregnancy. He leaves the orphanage with them, gets a job picking apples and, with Willy back in combat flying the Burma Run, a predictable pre-dictable romantic attraction ensues with Candy (because there's a chemistry between the t wo actors, or because Theron and Maguire are the only pretty . white kids teround the apple orchard?) Homer also gets involved with a black, migrant apple-picking crew, their field boss Mr. Rose (Delroy Undo) who seems destined des-tined to become a second father figure, but beware, and Rose's daughter (Erykah Badu) whos eventually faced with a crisis.

He is also familiar with dealing with traumatic and stressful situations, "I seem to have a gift for maintaining main-taining calm during extraordinary circumstances, which is certainly an ass.'t when it comes to this," said O'Connor.

Homer finds that Dr. Larch's approach facing the moral grays of the world the best you can is not so flawed after all. The movie, gentle as it is, gives a kick in the pants to absolutism abso-lutism symbolized by the Cider House Rules, a set of irrelevant irrel-evant guidelines which the illiterate illiter-ate apple-pickers cant read anyway. any-way. Toward the end of the film, you can guess w hat direction the plot will take. In fact, one can predict, exactly, the heart-tugging gesture that will end the movie. But "Oder House" is a gracious gra-cious thing to watch, given the eloquent quiet direction from Halistrom. He throws in antiquated anti-quated dark browns. New England colors, and some memorable memo-rable '40s-era details (like a drive-in theater, darkened for the wars duration). . Tobey Maguire plays a com-ing-of-age character with extraordinary reserve and tact. Michael Caine is the emotional spine o. the movie at once the strongest and yet weakest character. char-acter.
