This is the movie that Leonardo DiCaprio received an Oscar nomination for, five years before Titanic. And, in fact, this is the movie that should have made him a star, he's so good in it. Based on the novel by Peter Hedges (who adapted his own book) and directed by Lasse Hallström (My Life as a Dog), this is the funny, moody tale of a young man named Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp) who lives at home in a small town with his 500-pound Momma (beautifully played by nonpro Darlene Cates), his mentally retarded younger brother Arnie (DiCaprio, utterly convincing), and his sisters. Not a lot happens--Arnie keeps climbing a water tower and getting stuck; Gilbert is involved with a married woman (Mary Steenburgen), then meets a nice new girl in town who's closer to his age (Juliette Lewis). And that's exactly what makes this movie so much more than your run-of-the-mill Hollywood product: it's not about some mechanical, formulaic plot; it's about these characters, and it allows you to spend some time with them and get to know them. Depp may have started out as a TV teen idol on 21 Jump Street, but his feature film choices since then--in such wonderfully offbeat and diverse movies as Cry-Baby, Edward Scissorhands, Benny & Joon, Donnie Brasco--have made him one of the most interesting, unpredictable, and risk-taking young actors in American movies. --Jim Emerson

I finally watched this movie recently and was glad I did it. I had been meaning to watch it for years but never seemed to be able to find the time. When I saw it came out on one of our high def movie channels I made sure to set the DVR to record it.
This movie is both fun and sad. Mostly it's sad though. Johnny Depp plays Gilbert Grape. He's a young man with the weight of the world on his shoulders. He has a mom who hasn't come out of the house in years since his father committed suicide ... Read More

Our whole family loves this movie and we quote lines from it all the time ("canola oil, it's 'cutting edge'.."...."I haven't always been like this..."some days you want him to live, some days you don't...."..."I'm a BIG BOY now..."). We can always tell if we enjoy a movie enough to make it a "part" of our family by quoting lines from it! I wonder if other people do that?!?!?!
This movie is one of my absolute favorite! We have a disabled son and can relate completely to the agonies and ... Read More
