Homer Wells has grown up in an orphanage his entire life. The Dr. sees Homer as his own son, but when Homer grows into a young man he realizes that he wants to go out and see the world. He leaves the orphanage to learn about life and love. An absolutely incredible film. Lasse Hallstrom is an expert director and it shows in this stunning work. Incredibly well written, with some true moments of laughter and moments of sadness. Amazing camerawork, outstanding cast, and the acting is nothing short of amazing. It comes to no surprise that this was nominated as one of the best pictures of 1999. Highly recommended. **** out of ****
