"An eccentric family living in a small town with an embarassingly overweight mother, a dedicated house proud sister, a young retarded brother, and an older brother with the responsibility of supporting the family. Gilbert has a 500-lb mother, a brother who wasn't supposed to survive childhood, and two sisters who are no strangers to the burden wrought by fate."
"Living in Endora is like dancing to no music. Gilbert Grape (Depp) should know. Aside from a secret affair with a housewife (Mary Steenburgen), Gilbert spends his days stocking shelves at a grocery store, caring for his mentally handicapped brother (DiCaprio), and holding together a large family headed by Mama, a former beauty queen whose weight tops 500 pounds. But just when Gilbert thinks nothing will ever change, a pretty stranger (Juliette Lewis) arrives on the scene, capturing Gilbert's heart and inspiring him to make a break."

"A small town grocery clerk is the main support of his family: an obese stay-at-home mother, two disturbed sisters, and a brain-damaged younger brother."
"Gilbert Grape lives in Endora, Iowa, population 1,091, with his mother, whose 36 stone frame is slowly destroying the fragile Grape homestead. His brother Arnie, who was never expected to survive childhood, and his two sisters complete the household. Gilbert's only excitement is his affair with Mrs. Betty Carver, a sexually demanding housewife. Nothing seems to be able to shake Gilbert's mind-numbing existence, until a beautiful and free-spirited young girl, Becky, rolls up in town with her grandmother, and Gilbert attempts to place his own needs and aspirations ahead of his family obligations. Carried by beautiful performances, 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' also finds strength in its acute rendition of the look and mood of a godforsaken midwestern town (which bears occasional resemblance to the little town Hallstrom portrayed in 'My life as a Dog')."@en

"Gilbert Grape lives in Endora, a place where nothing much happens. The only time the police have something to do is when Gilbert's retarded brother, Arnie, tries to climb the watertower nearby. Taking care of Arnie is mostly Gilbert's task which can be pretty demanding, at least while you are working at the local grocery store. Then one day Becky and her grandmother pass through Endora. Gilbert falls in love with Becky, but has problems when he tries to find time for his own private life."
