What's Eating Gilbert Grape? (DVD)

Very original comedy-drama about a small-town family: Gilbert Grape, his 36st Mom (whose weight is slowly destroying their rickety house), two sisters and a special needs brother. With a dull job in a failing grocery store and keeping an eye open for his younger brother, Gilbert's life is a drag - apart from his occasional gropings with a married woman - until a new girl arrives on the scene. One of Johnny Depp's best early performances but Leonardo Di Caprio steals the show as the lad who was not expected to survive childhood. Despite its 12 certificate this is definitely not a cosy family film.

I bought this DVD as I am Johnny Depp fan so it may not appeal to people who
are not. I enjoyed its simplicity and easiness to follow compared to some
films around today. Leonardo Di Caprio I thought was brilliant as Arnie. It
is funny at times as well as quite sad in parts. It is 118 minutes approx. in
length which quickly passed being a good sign. I regard this as one of Johnny
Depp's better earlier films, maybe a bit akin to Benny and Joon, and regard it
as a really enjoyable film.

watched it when i was yonger and tryed to find it for years.very good story line,the actors and directors did a wonderfull job

I decided to buy this film because a friend of mine talked about it all the time, so i thought i would try it out. I am a huge fan of Johnny Depp anyway, so i was looking forward to seeing it. I was not dissapointed! The Film is extremly well acted by everyone, but the act that stood out for me was leonado dicaprio, whose performance was extremly touching and just truly amazing. It's a tear jurker, but will keep you smiling the whole way through. A must see film!

I watched this film randomly with a bunch of mates and discovered how good it is. Truely leanardo de caprios best film. He does some fine acting and this film is a realy enjoyable thing to watch.

love it!!! its such a bitter sweet story with the best acting! any film with jonny depp is worth watching!!!!!!!!!!

Great film, excellent performances from Leonardo Dicaprio and Johnny Depp.
Happy sad and everything in between.

this is a favourite film of mine and never tire of watching.
i have always found it hard to buy this dvd in the shops as there arent many places to buy dvds that are a few years old now.
all the great actors like johnny depp, leonardo di caprio and juliette lewis are in this film and the acting is great.
would definately recommend.

I love the film and good for its money AAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Excellent film. V. Entertaining. 5******** rating. Great family film. Johnny Depp and Leonardo Dicaprio are excellent!!!!!!

I love this film. I have seen it many times before and just had to buy it on DVD.

Depp and Capuano are amazing in it and of course Lewis. If you haven't seen it then you must its just brilliant.

This is probably one of my favorite films of all time, thank goodness i have found it on dvd as i lent my video to someone and never got it back.

This film I bought for my mum as she loves Johnny Depp.
She has decided that she wants all the films that Johnny Depp has made and what a better way than to buy it here. Thank you Ebayer

it's classic johnny depp movie. i collect johnny depp movies. its a great movie leonado dicarpio is great in this movie.

Loved this film one to keepI had recently watched it on tv. and thought i would it for my collection so thought i would have a look on ebay and bingo there it was.

it's just a great film. it touch's on alot of issue's and really make's yout hink. I found the actor's perforamce wonderful and encageing and it's made this fi;m a firm favort with me.

The story line is great, having children with special needs help me to relate to the feelings of how he was behaving. Very good acting not over the top and real life to how people see other people. thankyou

I love this film. It came up in conversation recently and i fancied watching it again. Hence my purchase on ebay. It has a great storyline. Great actors (Depp and a very young Di Caprio). I'm not a fan of Leonardo Di Caprio, but he was fabulous in playing Depps younger, mentally challenged brother. I couldn't flaw anything in this film. A must see!!

Received immediate feedback from the seller letting me know that my purchase would be posted on thats same day.

The DVD arrived quickly and in good condition.

i watched this years ago and rememberd that it was good but can't remember what happened in it so i bought it. but the dvd i got did not work and the person i got it off is a s**t!

love the film,anything with johnny depp in it is fab.
decided to buy it coz i havent watched it for years and seen it on sale...

I have always wanted this film but could never remember the full title. It was then given away free with a Sunday Newspaper but unfortunately I forgot on the day and so didn't get it. I decided to have a look on ebay to see if anyone had got it for sale and found several copies (of the free newspaper one). I decided not to get a "proper" sealed copy. It arrived very quickly and was exactly as the seller had described. I am now the happy owner of one of my favourite films "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" (I still have trouble remembering the title!!!).
