Flowers for Algernon

"🌟6.5/10🌟 Based on the novel by Daniel Keyes, this #SciFi #Romance #Drama is a #wholesome & #engaging #tv_movie that’s great for #family ~ It tells the story of Charlie Gordon, a middle-aged man with a learning disability who takes part in an experimental procedure aimed at increasing intelligence. Algernon is the mouse who was the first test subject of the surgery & with whom Charlie forms a close emotional bond. Released in 2000, this film still holds up very well. It has some funny moments, a couple of briefly sad moments, & ends on a touchingly sweet note. 🌻🐁 #PG_rated #basedonbooks #based_on_a_book "
