    Movie (based on book) about man and mouse experimented on
    I know it was a book we read in Elementary or something.

    All I recall is the man being retarded and then he is experimented on with a rat. They begin to get smarter, but it's only temporary, and then they start to get dumb again.

    The guy, I think, falls for a girl and goes out on a motorcycle with her.

    Any idea? I keep thinking it's Of Mice & Men, but that's not it.

    The mouse had a big name... something like Albatross or Albatron or... something with an A.

    Thanks.

    YES! Thank you, dias06, it's Charly!

    Thanks to you other two also, because that IS the book it's based on.

    Algernon, that was the name... thanks!
