Film #550 or What's Eating Gilbert Grape is a film that I had previous seen portions of in a class in high school and I decided to finally see the entire film. The film stars Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio as Gilbert and his younger brother respectively. The acting in the film is great by both actors and this film just show Depp's ability to act in a role. The plot is brilliant as well and each of the subplots work but could have been built into a little more. For instance the Crispin Glover and John C Reilly roles could been brought out more and the plot involving Burger Barn should have been more and why exactly was Reilly so happy with that. The film was a little depressing though which ruined it for me. I give the film 3.5/5 stars.
