Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

TownRootGuy This is a must see for movie buffs, a probably for Williams fans, a maybe for liberals and it seems likely to be loathsome to the far right. It's ... bizarre? Garp has some great stars AND the funny might leave you breathless at times but it shouldn't leave you tongue-less.It's ... uh ... an interesting movie. I can't recommend it simply because I doubt most people would enjoy it today. I can watch it every 10 years or so.

Predrag This film is quite an emotional roller coaster, taking you from laughter, to shock and tears at various points throughout the long, but never dragging, narrative. It basically the entire life of Garp squeezed into about 130 minutes, consisting of snapshots and various episodes that he experiences as he gets older. His mother Jenny, played by Glenn Close (in her film debut) with motherly tenderness and wisdom, was also highly impressive. Even though it's Garp's story, his mother plays an integral part in shaping his worldview, which is unique to say the least. There's so many great moments in this film, that it's impossible to pick just one. The story is touching. The performances are incredible - every single one of them. This isn't over the top Robin.... this is the subdued and funny Robin Williams. Sure, the movie is about him, but its more about those characters that swarm about around him. And the actors in the film! The movie is most worth watching for some fine, early performances: an early, serious Robin Williams; Mary Beth Hurt; Glenn Close's first role on film (she had been a stage actor previously); a funny yet tender portrayal of Roberta by John Lithgow. The movie is different than the book, for sure, but it is charming and delightful and insightful and real. Brilliant film- making at every turn.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

andre andreas This movie is very underrated. It is one of the best Robin Williams movies and it belongs in the top ten comedies list. Very funny from first minute to the end. Trust me and watch this movie because you will not be disappointed. It is also a life lesson with examples of jealousy, personal strength, and self worth, and I am not even talking about the feminist ideas that are present in the movie. This movie is hilarious!!some lines from the movie.what is gradual school? Well, gradual school is where kids go and then gradually realize that they don't want to go to school anymore..describing a woman who wrote a book about lust but she has never felt lust or partnership (love) :line: Its like listening to a plant describing the motives of a mammal.

Kyle Hodgdon I thought that "The World According to Garp" is a pretty good biographical film, however, it was not really the film that I was expecting. The tag line for this movie is, "he's got a funny way of looking at life." I do not feel like that is an accurate portrayal of this film. I feel that Garp has a pretty typical way of looking at life. I was expecting some quirky guy who was very unusual. Garp is a pretty normal guy who goes about his life in a pretty normal way.Robin Williams and Glenn Close both do wonderful jobs playing characters at a number of different ages. I also really liked John Lithgow as the transgender best friend.The ending really caught me off guard. I think it served as a nice way to finish the film so that we get to see the entire course of Garp's life, from birth to death."The World According to Garp" is a nice watch, but not an essential one. It is better than average though and I would recommend.
