In my opinion this is a great movie. Its sad but also has a happy twist. And I would have to say that Leonardo Dicaprio played his part very well it takes talent to be able to pull a role like his off well. But I liked this movie allot because I am a big fan of both Leonardo and Johnny Deep and I thought it was cool that they both played in it and both are really young in it too. What do you think?

I really really love this movie! It's great! Leo Dicaprio is a very lovable, charming character! You're right, this movie is incredibly sad, but very enjoyable too! It is happy in some ways, and can make you feel good! Oh...I haven't seen this movie in a while! I miss it! I love when Leo climbs the water tower and is singing! So cute! Juliette Lewis is the girl in it right?

Yeah. Everyone did an amazing job in that movie. You gotta love Gilbert because he steps up and takes care of his family, when he could just leave. Sure hope there are still people like that in the world today.

Yes I do believe that she is the actress that plays the girl. I too love when he climbs the water tower, gilbert makes you fall in love with him in the scene in my opinion because it shows how sweet he is.

This is one of my favorite movies, and I completely agree about Leonardo DiCaprio. I'm a big fan of Johnny Depp, too, but I really think Leonardo's performance was the best. He was exceptional here.

I loved this movie. Its been a long time since ive seen it but Leo did play an awesome part. It was sad but yet it turned out pretty good. Its amazing how young they both are in it. Doesnt seem really that long ago but it was.

what's Eating Gilbert Grape was a very sad movie, but yet I agree with you had a happy twist. I could not of said it better myself. Leonardo Dicaprio was out standing in this movie, the talent that man has is unreal. All his movies seem to have hard parts and he does a wonderful job.( more then what the ? asked) LOL. Johnny Depp did wonders in this movie also.

I just couldn't believe how good Leo was at this part at such a young age, for someone young to take on a role like that and bring it true to life is amazing.
