What's Eating Gilbert Grape
A bland and not overly entertaining film, "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" tells the tale of a troubled family living in a small rural town.
With their father dead, their mother having eaten herself into obesity and their mentally disabled brother Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio) trying their patience at every turn, we follow Gilbert (Johnny Depp) who also living with his two sisters, remains trapped in a small town nightmare. As dismal as things are, a small glimmer of hope rides into town as a young woman traveling with her grandmother catches Gilbert's eye after being marooned with a broken down car.
Even though DiCaprio's performance earned him an Oscar nomination, this movie is hardly worth the time it takes to drag yourself through it.
Parental Note: Minor Violence, Adult Situations
The disc is single sided - dual layered and contains the original widescreen version of the movie. The mastering is excellent, but there are few extras.
