Plot
Meet Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp), a young man who lives in Endora, Iowa, population 1,091. "Describing it", says Gilbert, "is like dancing to no music." Gilbert lives with his mother, whose 36 stone frame is slowly destroying the fragile Grape homestead, his brother Arnie, (Leonardo DiCaprio) who was never expected to survive childhood, and his two sisters. Gilbert's only excitement is his affair with Mrs. Betty Carver (Mary Steenburgen). Besides that, Gilbert's life is weird. And he doesn't seem to enjoy it. But one day a mysterious, beautiful girl named Becky (Juliette Lewis) moves into town with her grandmother, and Gilbert's world begins to change.
