About this product

Product Information

Bizarre, whimsical, and touching scenes mark WHAT'S EATING GILBERT GRAPE. Johnny Depp is Gilbert, the eldest brother in a large family of a very large (morbidly obese, actually) mother (Darlene Cates) who hasn't left the house since her husband committed suicide years before. Leonardo DiCaprio, who received an Academy Award nomination for his role, is Arnie, Gilbert's retarded teenage brother who needs constant supervision (he's often found scaling the town water tower). Caring, passive Gilbert is burdened beyond reason, living a dead-end life in a dying small town, stocking shelves at a grocery store whose business being taken over by the new mall supermarket. Gilbert's best friends (Crispin Glover and John C. Reilly) see their futures in the form of undertaker and Burger Barn owner, and Gilbert's other social life is taken up with a random affair with a frustrated and reckless housewife (Mary Steenburgen). Everyone needs the constantly patient Gilbert, whose future seems equally grim until well-traveled, straightforward Becky (Juliette Lewis) and her nonconformist grandmother (Penelope Branning) come to town. Their camper is in need of repair, so Becky stays long enough to actually have an effect on Gilbert, making his new life spiral in wild ways. Based on the novel by Peter Hedges (who also wrote the screenplay), WHAT'S EATING GILBERT GRAPE is quirky, irresistible, and endearingly eccentric without being a freak show.

    Great old time movie

    Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio were perfect in this movie. You would of thought that Leonardo DiCaprio was really "special needs". His acting was superb!! A friend recommended the movie to me. Now I am recommending it to you! My teenage granddaughter loved it as well.

    Not Funny

    I had gotten this movie because others had said it was really funny. I really like funny but this was not. It was a story of compassion, loss, and moving on for a family who's youngest sibling is mentally disabled. I found it emotionally stirring but not funny. It did have great acting.

  • What's Eating Gilbert Grape

    One of Johnny Depp's best movies. It's a movie that shows how cruel people can be and how a family can be so strong to protect one another. It's well worth watching and definitely worth buying. I wish people were more compassionate in the world but unfortunately when people are overweight they are criticized for something that often is not their fault. Wonderful movie definitely brings the tears and makes you think
