What's eating Gilbert Grapes (1993)
a young Leonardo Dicaprio takes on the role as a mentally challenged kid (not so convincing, yet his character is so unlikable) who belongs to a family that's not so well off themselves. Gilbert, (Johnny Depp) plays the father figure role per say, with everything that comes at him is so over whelming. From an obese mother, a dead father, a mentally challenged brother etc. It's based in a smaller town closer to isolation and this movie just does that, makes you feel alone on their journey through the trials and tribulations. With some obviously intended puns that kind of make you laugh in your head, this film is okay.
2.5/5
