stugood (Rated: 5)
Highly derivative of 'Cuckoo's Nest, but none the less engaging at times for its story and performances.
The mistreatment of old people is often touched upon but not usually highlighted enough in film; however, the tone here is often at odds with the characters and plot to be especially memorable...
