- Synopsis
- Swedish director Lasse Hallström (My Life as a Dog, The Cider House Rules) brings his unique sensibility for finding the whimsical and bizarre in the everyday to Peter Hedges’s cult novel about the life of a dysfunctional but appealing family in Endora, a small town America. Gilbert (Johnny Depp) is the family’s able, responsible, bread-winning member, who must cope with a mentally retarded brother (Leonardo DiCaprio), two immature and squabbling sisters, and an immobile, 500-pound mother in mourning for her suicide husband.

"An offbeat mix of typically quirky elements, and it could have easily been hard to stomach. But the author and director Lasse Hallstrom's affection for these characters shines through"
