The Renaissance Brother

So Lindsay and Emily don't think I'm intelligent or cultured enough so I am going to implement a new system. Occasionally I will put up book reviews, movie reviews, and even YouTube reviews. I think I've already displayed my sports knowledge prowess and this will be an effort to prove to them I am more well-rounded. Besides, if one of us reads a good book a or sees a good movie we should let the others know about it right?

DISCLAIMER: Mom & Dad you can't watch movies so you shouldn't even be looking at this.

What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)

This movie has a young Johnny Depp and Leonardo Dicaprio. Depp plays a young man who has to take care of his family in a small town. He has a retarded younger brother (Dicaprio), a hugely fat mom, and a bratty sister . I thought it was interesting and had good acting. Dicaprio is a good retard. It's not a must-see, but good nonetheless.
4/5 Stars

Yes, I can see that you're very cultured. Thanks for the review, we have also seen the movie on TV and enjoyed it.

I have seen this movie and I remember Brett and I wondering what in the world it was all about, so yes, anything we don't understand is packed with culture I'm sure.
