Released: 1 January 2009
Classification: PG
Region: 4 (Australia & New Zealand)

Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp) is a young man trapped in an eccentric family in a small town, with a developmentally disabled teenaged brother, Arnie (played brilliantly by Leonardo DiCaprio), an incredibly overweight mother, and a house falling down around their ears. Brilliantly directed by Lasse Hallstrm (My Life as a Dog), this funny, moody tale comes to a heartwarming conclusion as the nice new girl in town (Juliette Lewis) comes to rescue Gilbert, now at wits end with Arnie's stubborn antics. But through it all, the centre of Gilbert's life remains his selfless, fatherly bond with his brother.
