Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

George Roy Hill's intermittently faithful adaptation of John Irving's best-selling novel lightens the tone of the book's black comedy while retaining at least part of its effect. It stars Robin Williams as T.S. Garp--the fatherless son of well-known eccentric feminist activist Jenny Fields (Glenn Close) who spends much of his life trying to escape the influence of his unusual upbringing and the ever-expanding shadow of his mother's fame. Intent on becoming a writer, living a normal life, and raising a family, Garp marries college sweetheart Helen Holm (Mary Beth Hurt) and starts a family, but he is plagued by the feeling he must wage war against all that is violent in the world that can possibly bring harm to them. When he finally publishes his first book, his mother simultaneously publishes a feminist manifesto that makes her a lightning rod for all manner of victimized women. Among her followers is the transsexual ex-football player Roberta Muldoon (John Lithgow), a model of sanity, who becomes a friend of Garp's and leads him toward a reconciliation with his mother and her cause. The briskly paced film captures much of the spirit of Irving's quirky, neopicaresque novel and is well served by its stellar cast, with exceptional work by Close and Lithgow.

  • One of the best stories told on this World.

    We watch Garp grow up. His perspectives are ones with exceptional value. I am a huge fan of John Irving the author. Because I love this movie (and I do not want to take away from it) I will not read this book (the book is typically better than the movie). John Lithgow's character is my second favorite of the movie. The story line does a very good job of moving forward one step at a time.

  • The title is fitting

    This is an unconventional story with truly engaging characters. While time constraints leave a more comprehensive overview of Garp's life and development missing, his upbringing and his mother's rationale for actions in her life reveal his basic value structure. This is only briefly touched upon during a conflict with his publisher on the title and content of his last book. The ending also is for the viewers to decide; whether Garp has perished or lives on for another chapter of his unusual life....

  • Great movie, loved it from beginning to end.

    What a great movie! All the characters were engaging, the story was entertaining and actually unfolded with pefect flow as a very well told story should. Not like most comedies with the predictable formula of shock and pratfalls, there were hysterical moments, at times sad, a bit awkward and quirky but very entertaining.
