Product Description:
Gilbert Grape (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 (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 (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.System Requirements:Runtime: 120 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: PG-13 UPC: 097360421248 Manufacturer No: 042124

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

If you like Johnny Depp or Leanardo DeCaprio this is a must see from their early years. Also tells a story of a mothers love and the love returned, no matter what.

I enjoyed this movie when I first saw it and love it even more after watching it several times. I was not a Leonardo DiCaprio fan before seeing this movie but after I saw this movie I became one. I thought that he did such a great job in this movie that I actually believed he was a mentally handicapped boy. Then you have Johnny Depp's character Gilbert that is just trying to hold his family together and doing his best at trying to watch out for his younger brother Arnie. This movie is one of those ...

This was an excellent movie, that was critically acclaimed, but the public didn't bother to really make it a blockbuster. It has excellent performances by all the cast. I Loved this film and brought it in for my class to see on a free day. It is a heart-filled drama, and a sanctuary from the high-budgeted films with poor actors we see so often today.

Johnny Depp plays the older brother of Leonardo Dicaprio who plays a retarded young boy. Leonardo nailed this part and I think he deserved an Oscar. Johnny Depp is the backbone of the family. His mother is severely overweight, never leaves the house, and the community makes fun of her. Leonardo is always trying to climb the town's water tower and causes problems for the local police. Johnny Depp has always taken care of his brother until the love bug bites and he has problems juggling his private ... Read More
