I truly agree with you yodajones2000. I also hated this movie and i never want to see it again.

boring very bum-numbing no plot or action, complete waste of time and money

i hate this movie i never want to see it again

I thought the movie was great I just have a question: In the movie the use of color plays a hidden meaning. All of the "new" things and "outsiders" are very bright and colorful, such as the Burger Barn, Becky, the time Gilbert spends with Becky. Was this a purposeful meaning in the movie or did it just happen accidently?

The movie is a tale of a young man, playing the role of a rural Atlas. He carries the weight of his own world on his shoulders. It's a world full of problems that Gilbert tries to hold together. But his world begans to crumble. It's a movie that tugs on the strings of your heart. It's original, and memorable. A classic in its own right.

it's a wonderful movie!All the acteurs were at there best en did a fantastic job!It's an emotionel movie with a bit of romance!The movie made a stright way to my heart!! to get to the point it's a movie that I will always remeber!!!

I felt that What's Eating Gilbert Grape, was a sensitive , funny,dramatic,romantantic, and hope raising movie, about life. Life not too beautiful to be real. Not a perfect life, just what this one young man has been dealt and his method of dealing with it. His strong sense of family as imperfect as they are, and his responsibility to them is inspiring. Something that the North American Continent has much to learn about.

My absolute favorite movie. If you like to cry at films, pick up this one. Performances are outstanding all around. You root for everyone. No bad guys in this movie.

This was the first movie that I have actually watched in weeks. I was drawn to it the minute it started. I loved the acting of all the characters, and the whole pace of the movie was great.

i love it so much! leonardo dicaprio is my idol and i want to be like him the movie was so kool i brought the videoi have seen it a billion times it has an awesome story line and i wanna be ina movie with leonardo dicaprio i showed it at my party and everyone loved it so if u ever want a 15 yo female with blondish brownish hair blue eyes and who loves to act to be in a movie email me . and i love love love the movie

Gilbert is portrayed as a decent human being which is unusual for modern day films.Sure his uneasyness towards his mothers weight does show through at times,but the way he supports his family and fathers Arnie forces you to believe that he wants what is best for the Grapes.His selflesness is truly portrayed when Becky asks him "What do you want in life Gilbert?"To which he replies "A new house a new brain for Arnie,maturity for Ellen and aerobics classes for Mama." All jovialness that is brought up in this film ebbs away without reaching any pitch of intensity, this low key slice of life drama really unleashes its potential through the theme that you can't always get what you want.

I think it was the bomb! I love Leo Di Caprio and he played Arnie so well
