Horrendous, Absolutely Horrendous

Rating: 2/10 (24 August 2001)

After reading the book, I decided to rent the movie, just to see how well it was translated for the big screen. In fact, it totally screws around with the plot. People die in the middle of the book(Cheswick drowns), and at the end of this movie, he's still alive! That was a big part of the novel! McMurphy doesn't steal the bus to go fishing, in fact, it was suggested as a field trip, to which Nurse Ratched agreed to if he brought enough men.
This movie is one of the worst adaptations from a book I have ever watched. This movie does not deserve all of the praise it gets. If anything, Jaws or Dog Day Afternoon should have taken home Best Picture of that year.

1/10.
