If you have not yet seen this movie then I envy you becaus you get to watch it for the first time!!! How often do you find a entertaining movie with lovable, real charachters, that makes you think but doesn't preach, that feels so human yet so strange, and which is absolutley unpredictable? Well, In my experience: Once. No doubt about it. This film in one of a kind. Johnny Depp is perfectley understated, letting all his emotions flow right below the surface. And Leonardo Dicaprios performance as Arnie is one of the greating example of flawless, fantastic acting. You just have to see it to understand how good he really is. In fact, I can't think of a single person in this movie who I think was miscast or bad. They were all just a joy to watch. I think the special thing about this movie is how sucked into the story and the charachters you get. Who doesn't see alittle of themselves in Gilbert? Who can help falling in love with arnie, worrying over him, and learning from him? Do your self a favor and dont miss this. you'll be certain to see certain aspects of kife in a completley different way.Vollständige Rezension lesen
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.

This is coming from a guy who normally likes comedies and feel-good PG or PG-13 movies with predictable plots, canned laughs, etc., ect. If you like Edward Scissorhands (as I do) you will still probably like this movie; But don't expect a bright, whimsical, easy-viewing movie like this other Johnny Depp movie. Expect to dive into the character's emotions (when they are finally presented). The part I like about this movie is that while character motives (especially the title character Gilbert Grape) are vague throughout the movie, everything ties together at the end. Certain plot points are stressful and even weird, but these 90's quirks add to the enjoyability of the movie. Ironic comedy and stereotypical small town roles make the movie accessible as far as a drama goes. It's a good movie to watch when you think you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. Johnny Depp's acting is fair, but you are a fan, it can be overlooked. John C. Reiley has a hilarious role as Gilbert Grape's friend. Overall, it's an emotional roller-coaster. If you think you have a dysfunctional family, or are feeling down about yourself, watch What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and you might have a change of heart.Vollständige Rezension lesen
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

This is a great movie to watch for any Johnny Depp Fan. It is a tear jerker and has hints of romance. This is also one of the first movies I ever saw with Leonardo DiCaprio in it. He is also wonderful in this movie. Story of a family that has many hills to climb but stick together during it all. Their mother who is over weight has not been out of the house since her husband died. Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio) is mentally handicap and needs constant supervision which usually falls on Gilbert (Depp). It is really a great movie and I would recommend it to anyone.
