Misery is a Rob Reiner film based on a Stephen King novel.  Kathy Bates won an Academy Award for her performance as Annie Wilkes.

This movie is critically acclaimed pretty well, but I just don’t see it here.  Kathy Bates is good in the role of Nurse Psychopath, but other than that, the film just comes off as being silly.  The plot is established as being completely ridiculous and there is nothing to gain from the two characters.  It is merely a movie built for entertainment and it can’t even find ways to do that.  The hobbling scene was really the only interesting part of the movie.  Every other moment is dull and seems familiar.
