Life isn't easy for Gilbert Grape - with his mother housebound, it falls to Gilbert and his two sisters to look after their handicapped brother Arnie, and to try and make ends meet even as Gilbert's job in a grocery store is threatened by the arrival of a huge "Food Land" supermarket in their small American town. But while the central storyline of What's Eating Gilbert Grape might sound depressing, the movie itself is fun throughout, with Johnny Depp playing Gilbert and a young Leonardo Di Caprio cast as the mischievous Arnie.

the title of the film ‘what’s eating gilbert grape’ may lead you to a different thaught of the film. the film is quite humerous,secretive and a mojourity of the time tearfull. this film is not an action thriller but it is a great movie i would rate it as a 4.
