Review of The World According to Garp (1982) by Jeff B — 09 Aug 2010
Good, interesting, moving film about one man's life, which sums up life itself - growing up, experiencing new things, love, marriage, kids, temptations, troubles, loss, everything. Starring Robin Williams I expected it to be over-the-top funny but it turned out to be a decent drama, with some funny moments thrown in.
Excellent story, solid direction, good performances. Robin Williams demonstrates his dramatic acting ability, and the supporting cast are great. John Lithgow is particularly impressive in an unusual, and what must have been demanding, role.
Definitely worth watching - you'll be pleasantly surprised.
