What's Eating Gilbert Grape (Special Collector's Edition)

Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp) lives in Endora, a place where nothing much happens. The only times the police got something to do is when Gilbert's autistic brother Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio) tries to climb up on the watertower nearby. Taking care of Arnie is mostly Gilbert's task which can be pretty demanding, at least while you are working at the local grocery store. Then one day Becky (Juliette Lewis) and her grandmother passes through Endora getting trouble with the car. Gilbert falls in love with Becky, but gets problems when he tries to find time for his own private life. more

Never go full retard

Nobody gets eaten in this movie?!I watched this with my wife, waiting for some cannibals to chow down on Gilbert Grape. No such luck. No gore whatsoever? No murders, explosions, car chases, or wild stunts either.This is a nice slice of Americana. Movies rarely do half as well at giving a...

What's eating Gilbert Grape?

One of Johnny Depp's best. Leonardo DeCaprio in what be his first film does a great job portraying the retarded younger brother. He did it without being offensive or stereotyping the role. I enjoyed it and my seller had it delivered sooner than promised.

Titanic

Have I seen this movie 5 times? I think so, although every time I watch it, it looks as fresh and vital as the first. Today I watched the scene when big mother comes down to the station to pick up her boy. It is a powerful, magnificent scene, riveling in my view the bathroom scene between Burgess...

Johnny Depp in top form

Very enjoyable movie even though the story is sad in a sense. Depp is stuck at home taking care of his mother and brother (Leonardo, who also is fantastic) and dreams of leaving but knows he can't. I'm no movie critic so no in depth review here. All I know is I liked the movie a lot and will...

Sour Grapes

Story was long and confusing. Gilbert Grape played by Johnny Depp was moody and depressing. He seemed to be quite confused and misguided and one had to assume what he was thinking most of the time. Leonardo DiCapprio's acting was the saving grace for this movie. He had evidently studied his...

Great movie

Leonardo Dicaprio's performance as an autistic teenager was absolutely superb. Johnny Depp's performance as a quiet, depressed and angst-ridden older brother was good as well, although he's more fun to look at than anything.:) The movie is very moving, and unlike anything I've seen. I really...

What is Eating Mr. Grape ??

I recently saw an episode of the Fox cartoon "American Dad!" that has a parody of WHAT'S EATING GILBERT GRAPE using squirrels. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Well, so I felt at the time. That's what brought to my attention this great movie that I enjoyed all those years ago back...

OFFBEAT AND ORIGINAL!

Here's a film that didn't do well in theaters, but is a fine example of good filmmaking. This offbeat story is filled with colorful characters and many great performances. Johnny Depp in a complex role delivers a subtle performance, Dicaprio is equally as good as his retarded younger brother and...

What Isn't Eating Poor Depp?

This is a snappy title, but perhaps it should be called "What Isn't Eating Gilbert Grape?" Gilbert (Johnny Depp) feels trapped: his younger brother, a high maintenance problem is mentally challenged (in a brilliant acting job by Leonardo Di Caprio), his mother is reclusive and grossly overweight...
