What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Directed by Lasse Hallström
Gilbert Grape is a small-town young man with a lot of responsibility. Chief among his concerns are his mother, who is so overweight that she can't leave the house, and his mentally impaired younger brother, Arnie, who has a knack for finding trouble. Settled into a job at a grocery store and an ongoing affair with local woman Betty Carver, Gilbert finally has his life shaken up by the free-spirited Becky. From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →This is one of the classics I have not read. Nor have I seen the movie. I thought I did, once; but that's because I confused the title with *What's Eating Gilbert Grape.* (they both contain "grape" in the title)

The Gremlin didn't want to go to bed so we watched DWW until about 11:30 snuggled on the couch until she fell asleep.
neutral · AI labelView post →Though set in a small American town, there's a universality to What's Eating Gilbert Grape that touches the longing, ennui and frustration we collectively feel. It's truly a tender and heartfelt classic, where each part isn't only there, but necessary.
positive · AI labelView post →I would cast Leo DiCaprio, on grounds of pudginess plus having already portrayed a similar character in What's Eating Gilbert Grape

neutral · AI labelView post →"What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" wasn't a great date movie. Would it have been both the first and last date with a different movie? Probably not, but who's to say what would have happened if the feeling walking out of the theater was more "that was great" and less "that was weird."
