<B>Gilbert Grape (Depp) is encumbered by more burdens than any young man
ought to have. He lives in isolated Endora, a dying small town, and stocks
shelves at a grocery whose business has decamped to the new mall supermarket.
Gilbert's 500-pound mother (Darlene Cates) hasn't left the house since his
father hanged himself in the basement, his sisters (Laura Harrington and
Mary Kate Schellhardt) quarrel relentlessly, and his retarded brother Arnie
(DiCaprio) requires constant supervision. Gilbert's best buddies are a novice
undertaker (Crispin Glover) and a gung-ho loser (John C. Reilly) who sees
his future in a Burger Barn franchise. And Gilbert is having a desultory
affair with frustrated housewife Betty Carver (Mary Steenburgen), whose reckless
sexual demands have begun to alarm him. Everyone needs the preternaturally
patient Gilbert, whose future seems grimly assured until worldly Becky (Juliette
Lewis) and her grandmother (Penelope Branning) coast into town in an ailing
camper, opening Gilbert's eyes to the wider world outside Endora.</B>
